If you bought a pair of jeans from Self Edge in those early years, I hemmed them on our 100 year old Union Special. I loved the work, but moved on to a new career as a lead game designer, which is a whole other story. Photo by Andrew Ng.
@docpop I love learning new lore
@mattblaze @carstenfranke I suspect Mr Blaze has me blocked on here because one time when I was expressing incredulity when he showed me a ridiculously long ballot it came across as me attacking him somehow although that was never my intention; nonetheless I apologise for it again.
I’m not suggesting that was the case this new time, nor am I blaming Mr Blaze for blocking whoever he needs to in order to stay sane - even if that’s me.
(Without suggesting it’s Matt’s fault, I still say it is objectively ridiculous to be voting for some of the things in there; I don’t recall the exact details but I think, for example, who was to be employed as the local dog catcher was on it.)
@whybird @carstenfranke It *is* objectively nuts. But it's the way it is for deeply entrenched reasons that are difficult to unravel without opening the door to making things even worse.
@WeirdWriter That's a really bad idea. It enables an end-run around any URL-based restrictions a site may have on particular posts. It provides three new paths to any given post; more if the post is in multiple categories, has multiple tags or is a custom post type. That's quite a widening of the DoS attack surface. And turning it on by default is arrogant.
@kauer @WeirdWriter as an available feature available to you to turn on is fine I guess, but enabling it by default and suggesting people who might want to preserve original behaviour hates fun is something else.
It sure tells us a lot about the people in charge over there. There is an assumption that they own the ecosystem and the site owners are just users.
I was at a brewery with @KevBot and they had this beer called "Bruceki" and I kept reading it as some variation of bukkake but then I realized it was supposed to be pronounced like "Brewski" so I was like "Oh! Kev! BREWSKI!" and then he went to order and forgot all of my advice and proceeded to order a pint of the "Brew-kkake."

@startrekgifs Lucky guess. I think that's it. Found all those clips in TrekCore.
Domicile lets you build your desktop in React and CSS, with Manganese being included as the ready-made tiling option.
@itsfoss to be fair, chromium only sends shivers because of Google. If it was degoogled, i think people would relax a bit.

@moira @ai6yr I had a stuck seatpost, aluminum in steel, and someone recommended cider vinegar over WD-40 and the like to cut through the aluminum corrosion. Applied repeatedly over several days, both at the top of the frame and internally, from the BB shell. In the end, got the seatpost out by inverting the bike and clamping the seat post in a vise, then using the frame for leverage to twist it. At the very least, the vinegar served as lubrication once things started moving.
Give a man a fish. Sure, why not? Throw a fish at some guy. It’s weird but legal
So far I’ve been yelled at by strangers this evening for:
- the existence of provisional ballots, and trying to explain ballot curing
- the fact that US ballots are longer and more complex than they are in other countries (I didn’t design this, I swear!)
- making a silly joke about DC’s national mall not being a shopping center.
@mattblaze I love staying up late and checking to see all the things you got yelled at for 😂 I'm always shocked when people have absolutely no sense of humor, just none.
I used to hold a very very high national security clearance. High enough that my family was investigated. Most of what I learned was boring but I'm often asked about aliens. Never learned anything about aliens but always say, I cannot talk about what I know. Preserve the mystery.
@carstenfranke I appreciate you understanding the difference between my explaining something and defending it.

On the Fediverse you can observe people circling each other, getting closer and more familiar without being disturbed by trolls and "get a room" guys. This warms my heart.
@jwildeboer
I must say, a lot of you guys I've met in the Google+ era, or in 2010 Twitter, and I did met a lot of great folks in the fediverse. And for that I'm really grateful to all of you.
Sin Voluntary Lack or Involuntary Slack, the choice is yours.
So some people think that even if you write all the actual program code and the tests for it by hand, it's fine to use #slop machine to create some missing tests for old code. You know, the stuff that's been on the backburner since forever, nice-to-haves that nobody has time to work on.
Let's say you don't care about ethics. Let's say you don't care about society. Let's say that you're making sure that the slop machine only adds new tests and doesn't touch existing code, that you double check that it didn't incidentally introduce any exploits in the process. What could possibly go wrong?
For a start, the added tests could be meaningless. They could be increasing test coverage without actually testing anything. They could be giving you false confidence without actually checking for regressions. Of course, many software developers can do that manually as well, but now you've streamlined the process. Not to mention you're wasting time and energy on not doing anything meaningful.
Worse, the tests could be actually slightly wrong. Yes, they aren't causing any breakage right now. But when the tested code changes, they may suddenly start failing, and give you or your contributors the wrong idea of what the problem is. Did you never get a misleading test result, and fix the wrong thing? And now it isn't even your test, it's just slop.

The dream we all have, to be forgotten by machines.
