dog who wonders why he never gets to go inside the friet stand with daddy #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon #bleptember

procedural detective game Shadows of Doubt has put out the best April Fools update to ever grace September 😂 "You are immortal… However, somewhere, a snail is always slowly moving towards you. If it touches you, you die instantly." (This is only one of several absurd challenges they added.)

good morning to dog who wants something just out-of-frame #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

🆕 blog! “Targetting specific characters with CSS rules” You can't. There is no way to use CSS to apply a style to every letter "E". It simply can't be done. At least, that's what they want you to think… What if I told you there was a secret and forbidden way to target specific characters in […]

Took me a few minutes to realize the landlord of the leaky unit above my store was saying “ok i come tomorrow to check it out” with his voice to text language set to serbian #justchicagothings

the theology thread on my discord

Our grocery store is very close to a high school, and at lunch hour it gets slammed by 50 kids who wanna buy snackies. But it’s not a big store, so 50 kids is a big logistical issue even if they’re all behaving — and of course a non-zero number of them will use the chaos to get away with […]

If you mash the audio example buttons on the wikipedia page for the IPA vowel sounds you can create a choir of mildly disgusted men

train signs in NL are going DARK MODE https://nos.nl/artikel/2583640-ns-schermen-op-stations-vanaf-oktober-in-donkere-modus I sincerely prefer light mode but it’s not like I’m unable to read dark mode, so I’m sure I’ll cope

Just realized I forgot to post my annual advice to college students before the school year started – but well, it's never too late to start: - GOING THE FUCK TO CLASS - GOING THE FUCK TO BED - DOING YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK THIS IS THE MAGICAL TRINITY OF NOT HATING YOURSELF OR FEELING YOU'VE […]

Literally Classical Older School JRPG Soundtrack has now hit 50(!) tracks. The final release will include wavs and probably oggs (and be properly hosted, not just on gdrive), but please enjoy these preview mp3s. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aZRlmMErVSWbqQH98c9Ag_wYnfXAYj3_?usp=sharing […]

I feel guilty because I found a hacked-up hairball full of spiky burrs on the balcony, so it became clear that the cause of Odin’s illness is that I missed some burrs deep in his fur and he pulled them out himself and swallowed them. However, it’s over […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Hades 1 is 75% off on steam, the switch eshop, and presumably anywhere else, ahead of Hades 2 launching in a few days. I'm not very good at these kinds of games but the game itself is very, very good, both mechanically and in world and writing. Zagreus has rights if you know what I mean […]

well, 2019 me would be glad to know I got that sorted, at least. all it took was moving to another continent, to a country that's famous for having vastly less space than the US and yet somehow there are washer and dryer hookups in the apartments

Go Go Beckham (GBA, 2002) must be the most weirdly competent celebrity license game ever. It looks like a 2025 indie hit. The screenshot montage is direct from the publisher, because they’re still showing it off in their portfolio to this day […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

good morning to dog with a case of the sniffles I had to give him another shower (he just had one yesterday) and need to scrub all the floors too. Just so we’re all clear on the logistics of Odins. (yes, he immediately went and jumped back on my bed after […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I’d like to interview people who’d attend an anti-immigration demonstration hosted in Den Haag of all places (one of the most international spots on earth) and ask them where they were planning to eat after the protest

This is beautiful; pure poetry: https://obsidian.md/blog/less-is-safer/ (Obsidian’s dependency-management philosophy.) I have a suggestion: If you have a project or repo that's getting popular, stop writing features for a few months and implement this instead. #softwaredevelopment […]

ingeburgerd lore: the Dutch emergency number is 112, but they ended up making 911 forward to it because even aside from tourists, it is apparently not all that rare for a hurt, panicked person under pressure to remember the number from a movie they saw recently … and in the Carribean part of […]

Good morning to dog #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

News you didn’t know you needed: there is a single specific seal who seems to have dedicated their life to swimming through the Netherlands’ freshwater canals to tour cities. They’ve been at least as far inland as Utrecht and were last spotted in Amsterdam […]

Giant company begs tiny Open Source project to graciously spend more of our copious spare time to help them - for free. Apparently the latest #curl release has a build problem on HarmonyOS. What a pity.

Shoutout to Mario Kart user MySQL, character Baby Peach. I deem thee valid

we happened to take Odin outside right as three tour busses pulled up to the corner and unleashed over a hundred 6yos hyped up from a field trip. there was a lot of yelling and screaming (no children were hurt in the telling of this tale)

computers were a mistake [remembers that I met my husband online] all computers not directly serving the purpose of socially interconnecting the world's weirdest 1% of people were a mistake

haha so heads up: since quotes are a newly acknowledged official category of post, they have their own notifications settings in the mastodon web app. and they default to playing a sound.

just realized it be talk like a pirate day... alas and woe, 'twas more fun twenny years ago. #talklikeapirateday

the Netherlands: where you can live in a high-rise apartment in a world-major city, across the street from a stable with horses you can see from your window, and John Deere tractors rumble by on the avenue safely separated from the busy bike path.

Repost of an old project: The Emerald Source Code Commentary. It's not finished (it's one of my many open todos), but unless you're already a world-class expert in GBA hardware and Pokemon engine internals, you'll definitely learn something! https://0xabad1dea.github.io/emeraldscc/

Here Comes The Boy I went into the grocery store without Odin, he was patient about approaching me when I came back out until he got within leaping distance. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

just found this photo of my old laptop. please bring the spirit of Come Back With A Warrant Toad into your heart.

I want to scream, we’re having an all-tech-hands meeting about how everyone is having trouble getting their work done because the big central Remote Desktop server we have to use for certain things is overloaded, but we’re being roadblocked by the Corporate Overlord on provisioning more ram […]

I am both very irritated and concerned because this is the first time in a long time, I think the first time since I switched to mastodon three years ago, that I feel like something I posted got *widely* distorted in bad faith and *widely* straw-man-argued. I don’t like it. Not a good sign. It […]

The Song Dynasty of China: can you believe that those Khitan to the north also call their chieftan "emperor"? Ridiculous. Rural hicks. There can only be one emperor in the world, and it's definitionally here in China. The Liao Dynasty of Khitan: We love China! Our southern brothers, you are so […]
