@pikesley but would you recommend waiting for a while and then being stabbed with a needle so your blood can be taken away to friends and family? We must know.
@NanoRaptor I kind of love that anyone would walk up to a Windows XP machine in 2026 and decide all that’s needed is updating to SP3 for it to be fine.
@w I find it very funny seeing DHH, the man who made a generation of developers buy MacBooks (yes, me included), discover that Linux is quite good these days. And then of course write some confguration files and shell scripts before declaring he’s invented something.
@solderandchaos you should give new paper a chance to settle into its home before asking it to do anything.
Apparently the owner follows me here because it turned off as soon as I posted some mild snark about it.
Another law I would pass if someone put me in charge: Car alarms can only sound for a maximum of five minutes, after which they have to enter a cooldown period of at least 30 minutes before sounding again.
@dee @thechaoszone wait, WHAT? That’s an amazing trick, so convincing I didn’t initially twig it wasn’t a joke about how we just love mash and gravy.
@fesshole “I used to play Halo on the Playstation” is blatant bait. Not falling for that one.
@farah don’t attempt to work out every day, especially at first when getting back into it. Recovery is just as important as the exercise itself, that’s when the body rebuilds muscle that’s been broken down by exercise.
@farah it is, of course, a grift. That airport is paying licensing fees to use the Trump name on things now. (Source: A half remembered podcast segment so you might want to verify that)
@joenash or even better, if one of your accounts has access to the file and none of the other ones do just use the one it’s clearly for. Madness I know.
I don’t think I’ll ever get used to having mobile data deep in the London Underground tunnels, truly living in the future here.
Gotta be out the house about 7am tomorrow so of course I’m still up and haven’t gone to bed yet.
@CatherineFlick I’m using Obsidian for journaling along with scheduled reminders elsewhere to do so.
@joenash they’ve got a very difficult job of [checks notes] forwarding emails between tenant and landlord while making edits that completely change the meaning of the email.
@benc I’m not sure what to think about that. I think it’s probably correct if somehow the API remained entirely stable, I’d definitely be shipping some release candidates first though!
@jonty I just read on the Wikipedia page that due to development being in the depths of Australia’s lockdowns they did in fact run the team meetings for Big Walk in Big Walk, which is a thing I hope they have screen recordings of.
@whitequark my guess would be that it’s because you can fit more economy passengers on the same plane, and while each passenger is going to take fuel either way you’ve still got to account for getting the plane itself in the air.
@an0key genuinely, where do I sign up? That sounds terrifying and fantastic at the same time.
@gsuberland ok, yeah, that is cursed. I was about to ask where you got it because I genuinely could use some sort of USB-A to Ethernet cable.
@rachel I have once again been reminded that I need to write a subscriptions only YouTube client for tvOS sometime, because almost all my YouTube time is on the TV where extensions don’t work.
@JustinDerrick @WuMargaret @hacks4pancakes ownership records for valuable things are a place you actually want some slack in the system. NFT based ownership of a house means if somehow the seller typos an address some random person in Bolivia now owns the house I paid for, which isn’t an ideal outcome. Meanwhile with the current system there’s still a record but mistakes can be rectified.
@DanHatesNumbers it really is amazing how much better I feel after a good session, I think it’s the perfect combination of mental and physical engagement to make my brain shut up and just get on with things.
