@Thayer @Documentally (this is maybe less true now I’m doing it with a 12 year old in tow, who regrettably hasn’t yet learned the joy of sleeping in)
@Thayer @Documentally if the suns not coming up yet it’s not bedtime.
@Thayer @Documentally family camping is very much “here is a place as far from the noise as possible so you can maybe get the kids to sleep” rather than a ghetto for anyone under 18.
@Thayer @Documentally nobody could care less. Camp wherever you like, everyone will be fine (assuming he’s not going to get up at 5am and start bawling but that seems… unlikely at his age)
@gsuberland from what I’ve been reading there’s been an air leak for some time and the Russians have finally decided to take a proper pass at fixing it. They’re sheltering just in case someone cocks it up and vents the entire station into space I think.
@farah I played it in a single weekend, totally took me by surprise with how good it was on both the puzzle/game level and the story level. Particularly the story which is delivered beautifully.
@an0key I keep remembering this happened since hearing about it and every time I’m astonished at the fact you survived at all, never mind being relatively ok!
@jackeric well they’ve already said we can use their game which is wildly exciting to me in itself! Not holding out much hope on “how about a custom build of it” but thought it was worth a punt.
Today in ridiculous things I’ve done: emailed the developer of my current favourite game to ask if there’s any chance of exposing game state so I can feed it into stage lighting.
Every now and again I remember why I do this whole festival nonsense and a massive smile appears on my face.
People who are disabled, poor or on fixed incomes should be allowed nice things.
Society acts as though anyone receiving assistance should be forced to make do with the bare minimum ALL the time.
It’s suffering as a policy choice.
It’s cruel and unnecessary.
One of the EMF team leads just dialled into a meeting from a hospital bed after falling off a five story building trying to install a mesh network antenna. Unbelievable dedication to the cause.
EMF people, do you consider lightning talks to be too slow and not focused enough on playing a game? Well, I’ve got good news for you because the arcade is hosting a speed running evening, sign up to show off your ability to play games quickly at https://grist.orga.emfcamp.org/forms/icprbr1ZJmhzqXC49u3rhR/57.
If you’re freakishly good at either Sektori or Tetris Effect I’d also like to hear from you because we’ve got something special lined up there as well.
@mdione can’t vouch for it because I haven’t got to doing anything with it yet but I was looking at https://github.com/smallstep/certificates the other day.
@tdp_org I swear I get at least two of these a day and no amount of telling GMail I don’t use Sendgrid and this phishing seems to stip them.
@mhoye @pikesley this has to be at least partially a question of proper regulation. You don’t see harnesses sold under those terms because it’s straight up illegal to. A harness is either sold on the basis of “this has been engineered so that if it fails during a fall your spine will have failed before that” or it has to be very clearly labelled “this is for cosplay only, it will kill you if used in anger”.
@mdione yes, which as I say is fine, but the features they’re not interested in adding are really table stakes for me wanting to use a library these days. Untyped code for something like this feels like going back to the stone ages now as I try to guess what parameters a function wants from nothing but the name.
@mdione it looks pretty legit to me. Requests is basically a static target now which I’d usually consider fine for an HTTP client library but it really sucks not to have asyncio and types in what is the defacto HTTP client for Python so I’m glad to see options springing up.
@0xabad1dea congrats, I find it really hard to describe to people just how transformative medication has been for me. You’re doctor may have already told you this but just in case, acidic drinks can help flush the meds more quickly so if you’re having trouble sleeping it may be worth downing a few glasses of orange juice or similar a few hours before bed.
If you told 18 year old Jon that his idea of a good Friday night would be sweating to death flinging himself up walls you’d have got a very strange look indeed, and yet here I am, having just returned from said activity.
@pikesley if only Kier Starmer were in some sort of position that would allow him to do more than ask nicely.
