@Sbectol @CatherineFlick they have a choice if forking the software from the last version with a suitable license and maintaining it at their own cost or paying the original author. Seems fine to me, no one is entitled to software their business depends upon free of charge.

they call it printf even though it prints all of the other letters too

@rrustema “they” as in the non-gender specific pronoun, not “they” as in a group of people.

@hughrawlinson no, that’s basically it. Also there’s nothing stopping China deciding to flood the market with cut price bonds to force the price down.

Does anyone have advice on regaining control of their personal email? It’s become an unusable pile of marketing emails, endless floods of them drowning out any signal that might be in there.

@Edent if you did that you’d be threatening the time honoured British pastime of complaining about pot holes.

@anon_opin that truck is rolling anyway though, while presumably you plan to drive an entire car containing nobody but yourself to the shops.

@robinsyl @jackeric but it’s zero bytes, what could go wrong?

Finally got round to watching Tenet this evening, my head hurts now, and I may have to watch it another twelve times to try and straighten out the timeline.

@oddly @Edent I believe if you’re doing Google Drive sync to a computer there are a bunch of .gdoc files in there but they’re effectively just shortcuts which open Google Docs on the selected document.

This is what the iOS contact permission prompt should be

Speed runners commentating their attempts to play Mario Maker while gifs bounce around obstructing them as if they’re single handedly delivering world peace.

@misty @marioguzman I miss when user interfaces had character, Aqua was the peak by not only being beautiful but also really well thought through.

@jhwgh1968 @gsuberland I’ve heard the standard in industry now is to spend the same amount development cost on marketing.

Once again I let a bunch of boring life admin stack up because it was going to take forever. Sat down to tackle it this morning and was done in an hour.

@gsuberland Amazon: We very quietly knocked the door then left your parcel on the step in pouring rain.

I have found the thing which makes an M1 Pro MacBook warm up. That thing is Unreal editor.

@LilahTovMoon I really want to see these dialogs challenged in court, GDPR requires informed consent and so many of them do their very best to ensure you either have no idea what’s happening or way too much information to process.

@iris @IanDSmith @gsuberland my old job was solely Hermetian tasks, with the added fun that no one wanted the messages I had to bring.

@anon_opin classic driver opinion there. “Anything that isn’t a car should be killed if it gets in the way of my car.”

Disappointingly this Saturday is followed by Thursday.
