For any app/website/whatever that offers light and dark themes.. why would the default ever _not_ be "match OS". Like, I've already clearly indicated my preference at a highlevel, and this is a pretty ergonomic choice (not just "style").. so seriously, please respect that choice??

Oh fuck this bill is so abysmal! Please please PLEASE write your MPs and tell them to vote against this garbage power grab! We do not need "executive vigor", we need representation and rule of law. UGGGHHH 😬😬😬

So many reminders lately that the "efficiency of capitalism" is really just about externalizing costs and then pretending they don't exist.

Hell yessss this is so refreshing!

Reviving this fun format from a couple of years ago with updated data.

Offered to drive the teen somewhere on my way out: “nah, i like the bus”

This jet trail was leaving a shadow on a nearby cloud, I've never seem this before! The whole sky became 3D for a moment as I watched it from the train.

I love Assam tea. I just drank a mouthful at perfect tempersture and out loud went, "Aaahhh yum-yum–yum-yum-yum," involuntarily.

I care about voting reform so much!! I'm so hopeful that this time BC can make it stick (and as I understand it, Citizen's Assembly is a great path forward)! I also want this to happen as a signal to the federal government... 🤞😣🤞

When I become king of the world, I will banish anyone who was ever responsible for me having to click a "Maybe Later" button when I actually mean "No." 🤬

PSA, this incredible slice of my childhood is available on Prime, in Canada at least. (Of course, I own it from it's original DVD release still... 😇)

Whoever is in charge of the display for the stadium always makes the text scroll the wrong direction and it cracks me up.

I spent almost 2 hours today hunting down a bug caused by two numbers: 63.999998 and 64.000002. The problem is, when I round them down, they're an entire unit apart. Ugh. Programming is for suckers 🤣

Huh, longstanding bug in VSCode is that the cursor position behaves poorly if there are tabs in the line (it moves to the same character count, not same screen position). Apparently screen-line motions in the Vim extension work correctly though, so yay, remaping j/k to gj/gk! 💪🤓 #vim #vscode

I have just witnessed a true christmas miracle: Two separate orders from amazon, due the same day, arrived _in one box! _

Thinking about all the funiculars I saw in Europe, as I was driving up a steep hill near my home in Vancouver: A funicular is an admission that there are lots of people on foot, and that hills are tough for pedestrians, and that we should spend resources solving that. Damn. 🤔

Sneezing is so much more satisfying if you actually shout "Ah-CHOO!" when you do it.

This looks so up my alley. Excited for it!

Yesss Winter Burrow is out, just in time for winter! I've been following this one for a while and am extremely excited to give it a try. My partner saw it over my shoulder and insisted I buy her a copy too, "It's time I played a game again I think." 😂 store.steampowered.com/app/3008740/...

1-based index pingpong. Thank desmos! #gameDev

There's this bit in the Ghostbusters song where the singer says, "There's an invisible man, sleeping in your bed," and the background singers go "Oh no" in this weirdly sarcastic way, and it cracks me up for some reason.

Autumn in #Vancouver appreciation post 🍂🍂

"There are no right answers, only mutually satisfsctory solutions." This is burning in my brain right now. Totally changes the question from morality or virtues, into something pragmatic and achievable. Verrrrry interesting. (Quote from Ross W. Greene, somewhat out of context.)

Ugh, I keep coming across this "DeepWiki" site, which is an AI-generated programming documentation site which is extremely elaborate and extremely useless. But wow is their SEO good 🙄

I have many strengths, but strength isn't one of them.

man look at this beautiful thing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snub_tr...

"Make the useful things easy and the distracting things difficult." I forget where I heard this advice.. but it got me thinking: What if, tomorrow morning when you sat down, instead of spending some effort making your life a little better, you spent effort making it worse?

I'm always looking out for independent news to subscribe to... Came across the Tyee today, are they good? Worth giving my Canadian dollars to? Pros and cons?

When we moved into this house 5 years ago, utensils just ended up in random drawers during unpacking. My partner has decided it's time to put them where it makes sense but I keep putting them back in the old places. I feel like we need a Ceremony Of The Spatula where they get officially moved. 🤔

i've been lurking the fft reddit because i really like seeing folks discussing the story. there are new players playing who feel a lot of discomfort at the ending, and desired for more justice or happier outcomes for the characters, and i like seeing folks debate the merits of that

Oh dang, I didn't realize Firefox had added back PWA support! Yay! Small victories! 🎉

This book is incredible. It's truly unique, but I think if you like fantasy worlds that feel real and like they've been around a long time, and mystery and characters who are heartbroken charming fuck ups you will love this.

Check out these cool little seed pods I found on a picnic table!

My Saturday morning: Slept in, read some webcomics, and now I'm updating my expired credit card everywhere and reviewing a year's worth of Strata Council notes that I've been ignoring. What are you up to this fine weekend?

By now we all have an idea of what a virus looks like. You know those little bits that stick out? Those are wrenches. Tiny, molecule sized wrenches. Billions and billions of tiny wrenches, that they throw into all your plans...

I think about this page from Hilda when I think about cozy games. Can't warm yourself under a blanket unless it's cold out; can't enjoy the light of a fire unless the room is dark. I love a pastel, huggy wholesome game as much as the next person (really!) but cozy games need darkness too! #indieDev

Which is the bigger crime? Putting a bagel in the toaster but forgetting to hit the bagel button, or putting bread in the toaster but accidentally hitting the bagel button?

Noooooo I'm out of dubbelzout!!! 😱

Finished @arechanga.bsky.social 's webcomic Señorita Cometa, dang I loved it so much! The cast is super lovable, the mystery is fun, the action and the art is so stylish, this one has been so worth the weekly wait for new episodes, I'm going to miss reading it 😭 www.webtoons.com/en/mystery/s...

Some unsolicited wisdom from my 8yo this afternoon: "If you explode someone's house, you have to rebuild it. It's just the way it is."

I don't really enjoy ghost stories... I never read spooky books as a kid, I'm not into horror... But dang if it isn't delightful to stay up past your bedtime in a quiet house and devour the final chapters of a ghost story!

When I was a kid I learned that Canada has about 30 million people living here. I've held onto that number basically since then. I just noticed we are over 40 million now, I need to recalibrate everything!

The Archimedean Spiral is a very cool shape. I use this one in procedural generation a lot because a) the math is quite simple 😅 and b) the particular property that the distance between "passes" is always the same makes it great for distribution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archime... #gameDev

The fruits on kousa dogwood always thrill me with their huge variety of colours. I want to pick them all and line them up in order hahaha... 😈

English teachers: Is "we" a possessive pronoun? (Sorry for the noob question, it's my first time being possessed.)

I am addicted to fig bars. The office snack shelf stocks them and it's daaaaannnngerousssss....

Working on worldgen stuff in the day job. It is truly my happy place 🥰
