New bed has arrived!

Well, mostly. Hopefully a headboard will arrive soon.

Tbh Reddit was bad because of lack of censorship is a take. Reddit is bad now because of censorship. It is a really great example of a time when slippery slope was not a fallacy.

Can my GMail sorting rules be exported from GMail via Google Takeout? Can they be imported into… anything at all?

@porglezomp Very interesting.

Do you believe my push_back implementation will have move semantics, or do you believe I have just created a copy?

Fucked C++ question:

I have a struct B, defined by me. I had the code

auto &b = bees.emplace_back();
b.value = 3;

A change *ELSEWHERE IN THE CODE* caused this to suddenly start failing with

"auto cannot be inferred"
changed the line to
B &b = bees.emplace_back();
The error became ("bees" underlined):
"initial value of reference to non-const must be an lvalue" (??)

I replaced the whole thing with
B b;
b.value = e;
b.push_back(b);

The compiler thought this was fine.

C++17.

wha ??? ?? ?????

One thing I will say about Germans is that, since it’s normal to be lifetime renters there, it’s also normal to take your stuff with you when you move. Furniture, solar panels, kitchen.

Australians, you think I’m joking about the kitchen.

I wonder sometimes about my auditory sensitivities.

My mother has been a piano and general music teacher my whole life. I was raised on piano, French horn (to escape my mother's tutelage), and all kinds of music.

I find that there so very very many songs that evoke memories. Maybe it's more than that.

I can barely create much less hold an image in my mind (I'm told this is often an #actuallyautistic trait), yet these memories, just for a moment, are so vivid!

People have this expression: "That takes me back...". It is just that. For a brief moment, I remember exactly where I was, who was there, what I was looking at, which way I was facing. Hell, often I could even tell you which cardinal direction I was facing. Yet I can't recall the date, the weather, though usually the approximate time of day.

After working through most of the PTSD (because you "work through it", not "get over it"), I'm come around to seeing these as moments of reverie: a gift to be savored, a rare moment of calm in an atypically difficult life.

I wonder how this is for othesr? I suspect mine may be more detailed than most.

#actuallyaudhd @autistics

i have just stumbled upon something absolutely mad.

so i want to embed a sha256 hash of a file into my #rust crate at compile time, rather than either loading and hashing the file at runtime (slow, missing files are only reported at runtime) or embedding the whole file (kilobytes of wastage). i found a crate that claims to do that and added it without reading much further.

i was mildly floored to see two hundred and twenty eight dependencies added to my project.

it turns out, this crate allows you to, at build time, submit these hashes to something called nostr, which i think is a fediverse-type thing but On the Blockchain™. this means that, if you use the fuckass "NIP 34" macros, every single time you run cargo build, the file's hashes are published... somewhere. to some sort of blockchain, i think. i didn't investigate much.

of course, someone has opened an issue about this frankly ludicrous behaviour.

now, i sent this to a couple of friends to laugh at the absurdity of it, and when doing so, i read the issue a little more closely. i'd like to correct a mistake i made in my earlier description. the crate does not, in fact, upload the hash every time you run cargo build.

it uploads the hash and the file contents every time you run cargo build. seemingly, they're uploaded to every instance listed in this CSV file, which also contains the instance's GPS coordinates (?????).

Yep, my @librewolf install must have updated recently. I cannot figure out why, when my Librewolf browser updates, the clear history setting reverts back to enabled. Honestly, it's starting to drive me nuts.
