Looking at a thread in teams I see a the "Followed threads" light up so I click it... it takes me to the thread I was already looking at. TEEEEAMS!

For some reason, people seem to think that when you take a dependency via vendoring/copying then you are signing on to more work than if you take it via package manager (go module, gems, crates, etc). This is so completely false.

Not sure who may need to hear this, but it just for whatever reason came to mind. I didn't understand this until embarrassingly late. Doctors do not think about you. If they ordered a test (MRI, CT, bloodwork, etc) *YOU* need to ask them about it. They will forget. Silence is not a positive result.

I just want to live in my city. I just want my neighbors to prosper and thrive and come together and love each other and that makes these people so upset that they will kill us. We cannot let them win.

I'm grateful for Go's "io/fs" package... I just wish it wasn't called "fs" because literally every time I want to use it the name conflicts with the var I have that actually is the fs.

I find KDE and Gnome to be opposite ends of the jank AF spectrum. I'm loathe to say what I am using, but it's minimal and lets me create the experience I want (or am willing to spend time on) at least.

Dense fog, can't even see the space needle. We'll see if we can see the display tonight, lol.

Boy the last episode of Strange New Worlds seems like it was written by the Discovery writers...

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Dog toy lasted maybe 10mins.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

What is it that flow of time seems to approach 0 to when waiting on someone trying on clothes?

Don't worry about your home, it's in good hands.

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

I am of the opinion that Apple needs to be broken up. It would be better if they would open up the platform, but I don't believe they ever would. When I say "platform" here I'm referring to all the artificial boundaries that create vendor lock-in, not so much app store policy.

Love it, a browser extension whose sole purpose is to open links in a different browser. It requires a native host component (or binary on your machine it can exexute), and they chose to do this in node.js. It's a great time to be alive.

Dear @mozilla.org, re: www.phoronix.com/news/Mozilla... I asked ChatGPT to help me communicate my disdain for this announcement: “An inspiring commitment to missing the point.” “Another bold misstep from Mozilla.” “Mozilla has discovered a new way to disappoint.” All of the above.

That 128GB of ram I got last December is looking like a great investment (even if I did get XMP instead of EXPO... because I didn't know about that shit).

Family sharing iCloud storage is great.., until one one of family members is using 1.7TB (out of 2TB total) all on their own.

What coding with an LLM feels like sometimes.

Why can't I apply searchable labels to apps on my phone... Relying on app names or other metdata defined by the app author is terrible.

Been doing a bunch of work on a buildkit frontend (github.com/project-dale...). One thing I've found working with the buildkit go LLB client, it is best for readability, modularity, all the good-ity's. Lean heavily on llb.StateOption in your implementations and things tend fit together more easily.

"there's a new serif in town"

500ms to respond to a UI action is like nails on a chalkboard. Seconds? Get out. Yet most of the big-tech web is this bad.

My keyboard clacking sounds exactly like the sounds that you make when building things in Lego video games.

Property management companies are some shady shady businesses.

Migraine sufferer here. All my life. I recently decided to try a Cefaly. It has 2 modes, daily preventative and acute. I used acute today for the first time. I can't say that fixes the migraine, but I feel like it offered enough of a sensorial distraction to be of benefit, even got sleep.

Do people actually like these fake personas that presenters do at keynotes? I just want to see a human giving me information. Like a real human not have someone feigning excitement. That doesn't mean don't do demos or things, just do it like a fucking human. Nobody talks/works this way.

So I set out to be able to control my monitors over DDC with a keyboard shortcut. My monitors support DDC, but *not* over DP, only HDMI. Also, tools like brightnessctl only support displays in /sys/class/backlight (ie., laptop panels).

I hate feigned personality.

This may need to be a blog post, but users tend to think ingress-nginx is simple because they can go to town with annotations. In reality, the features that they want are actually really complex to expose safely. This is why the project struggled with CVEs. “Simple for whom” is the question

Today should be Friday, right?

I joyfully gave up my last micro USB (I spit on your grave micro USB) about a year go. I thought I was done forever. Good riddance to the most awful of connector. Until today, I got a medical device that uses micro USB. 😠

"A line as far as they eye can see for the Ballard Food Bank"

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Give me ranked choice voting,

Comment that code like someone is going to come to you in like 3 years to ask you something and this is the first and last time you are going to touch it.

How much cloud compute is used just waiting on cloud python cli's to init?

@github.com's "new experience" for PR reviews hides diffs... like super helpful.

They should bring back Robot Wars, but instead of humans controlling them directly, they have to do it through LLM's.

When you fix typos you are taking away an LLM's ability to prove its worth in the future.

My #1 use of AI:

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

I love it when a Go iter implementation comes together.
