Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Friends. These are lots of my all-time favorite images. I'm letting them go, frankly out of desperation. You can download them all and make prints or use as backgrounds on your devices. Pay whatever you think they're worth ❤️ buymeacoffee.com/angrytheinch drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Our star is a tiny little dot, just like one of these, in a tiny little galaxy in a vast universe. We're sitting on a tiny spinning pebble circulating around said tiny star, acting like idiots.

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

One of the joys of having been around for a while is to suffer the pains of ones previous self. Today was spent in its entirety with undoing mischief I did in 2009. I'm *almost* done. Hopefully tomorrow.

Have a large chunk of my 8-bit cassette tape games that I'm selling up now on eBay. ZX Spectrum, BBC/Electron, Oric, and MSX for now. Tonnes more to go up over next couple of years. Software, hardware, you name it. Give me a follow if you want to see the journey! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/lord_arse

I finished the Pieterpad over a month ago, but I can still talk about #ALS awareness! Please consider giving to research for this under funded area!

Everything is awful but guide dogs are being trained using toy squirrels stuck to remote control cars. And you need to see it

I played with this before, but now I think it's about where I want it to be. Very neat! 😁 godbolt.org/z/TbsT9MbE8 However... MSVC doesn't compile it, unless I change line 38 s/r/s.r/ and s/f/s.f/, but then neither gcc nor clang compiles it. Which is right? Why the poor code generation for clang?

I'm officially available for consulting! Need C++ expertise for games or software? Could use some profiling and optimization? Want training your employees? Feel free to reach out! And remember, if it's not made in the Champagne region of France, it's only ✨Sparkling Code AB✨!

The meadow sweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is blossoming, time to make mead. Contrary to its English name, it adds bitterness, not sweetness. The smell reminds a bit of marsipan. This is a very old flavouring for mead.

I've been playing a bit, and I think this is quite neat. godbolt.org/z/91c9aK9T1

The little things that count big time in making Ukraine a solid part of Europe: Swedish grocery stores are making it easier for Ukrainian suppliers to sell to Sweden and will highlight Ukrainian products so that consumers can easily find them and support Ukraine by buying Ukrainian 🇸🇪🤝🇺🇦

Action!

I love this talk so much. Nothing advanced, but loaded with simple good advice.

Hope to see you in Kongsberg! I will talk about the ominous topic of "when to give you, and how".

AI;DC is the new TL;DR… *Artificial Intelligence; Didn’t Check

Seriously, what's the secret to posting images to this place? Once in a while the intended picture is actually posted, but most of the time, the image is replaced by a nondescript monocolour lattice. Lately beige seems to be popular, but earlier teal was the choice.

I was walking along a ditch between two meadows, looking for a place to cross. The ditch had lots of young birch, alder, aspen, etc, so the view across wasn't great. Then I heard wing beats of heavy birds, and seconds later saw two eagles, no more than 50m away.

When I say "testing", in the context of software development, what comes to your mind?

finally watched hundreds of beavers and folks if you only watch one full length black and white film with nearly no dialog that brings together looney tunes logic, early 90s videogame features, and *squinting with intense concentration* some other silly stuff this should be it

I heard a zoomer say that millennials love tech because they experienced it before it was monetized. Before it became a worse and worse version of itself.

1/ I have coached a bunch of people before doing their first public talk, and a lot of people feel «there are lots of people much more knowledgeable than me on this topic» and I felt that way too. So here’s why that doesn’t matter.
