If this decision stays, I'll never install Debian again on my stuff.

dnb is the cocaine subgenre of electronic music

i love static text based web pages with server side rendering like bandcamp (up to not too long ago), hackernews, and sourcehut. i love the absence of javascript in general. it feels like what the web should be, a breeze for the web surfer.

iosevka is overrated af bruh who thought that halving the character width could be a good idea for readability

Installing Gentoo for the first time really makes you think about how complex Linux-based operating systems are and how comfortable it is to have everything done by an installer.

Misusing the term "OS" is so cringe yet so coherent with the enterprise manager buzzwords bullshit language

C is the only language that gives me nostalgia after not using it for too long

tailscale is one of those things that i look up once and think "damn, this could be interesting to learn and maybe even useful for some stuff" and then completely forget about it

Difficult math stuff. When you don't need it: fascinating, breathtaking, truly the wonders of math. When you need it: this thing is fking awful man...

If 2 is "dos", why isn't 1 "do"?

Every now and then I tend to forget that Frankenstein was actually the scientist, not the monster.

I might move back to Mastodon due to the recent Bluesky drama.

Yesterday night I dreamed of a mutual here (I still remember who) posting a video about the city I live in and I was super happy like "no way, [city] mentioned!!". When I woke up, after checking if the video was real, I realized that my reply would have been self-doxxing.

I'll never get over this seahorse emoji Mandela effect.

There is no ultimate best social media.

The IBM Plex Mono font is cool af

"disappointment" should be the opposite of "appointment"

MINECRAFT 1.21.9 WAS RELEASED TODAY AND NOBODY TOLD ME ANYTHING???

@haskell.org you're awesome

Lazy evaluation means that you won't get raptured until the very moment where Anubis needs to weigh your soul on the scale

Having one's own comfort zone in a mid/low level language like C is kind of weird. You see other people coming from higher level languages like Python struggling while trying to grasp how hardware and C work, but then in the opposite scenario you wonder how to get pointers to variables in Python.

"We sat down with Phil Wadler, one of the most influential folks in the Haskell community, functional programming, and programming languages, responsible for type classes, monads, and much more. We take a stroll down memory lane, starting from Haskell’s inception." haskell.foundation/podcast/70/

technology used to be cool, but now it’s owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet. but there are transsexual furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight

Programming languages should have more extra-ASCII Unicode code points in keywords. For example λ to define unnamed functions.

Adding the Greek keyboard to my phone just so I can write math stuff flawlessly.

Google actually making a good job with their new Material 3 Expressive aesthetics in the Pixel launcher??? I must be dreaming.

It's those quotes going hard that keep me going.

Our dog is doing physical therapy, and the photos they’re sending us make him look like a Far Side character.

Ah, I love scientific studies on beer.

Unpopular opinion: TNR is a nice-looking font but it's hated just because it's overused.

I like to think that mistyping is a strong censorship countermeasure, because those who censor usually don't bother searching for all possible ways of typing a word wrong.

If HP was the same as today, then its driver probably came with a bundled support app that you can't remove, just wasting your space.

Haskell docs put go, rust, python's to shame. Just by visiting the package on hackage you can browse this way. And you can do type directed search to get there. Criminally underrated I like manpages lol

Is Google finally putting some effort into its Pixel system apps?
