Not a horror, but a classical witchy movie from our Halloween watchlist:
Practical Magic from 1998 ⭐️⭐️⭐️1⁄2
Getting queer to brake the curse was no option in 1998.
We are now 364 Microsoft outages away from countries and companies recognising that running their own email services is the way the system was meant to be. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf

I often think about how the history of character sets has its own archeology. How it encodes political power and cultural shifts, the palimpsest outline of dead empires.
And yet the glyphs themselves when employed in algebra, in code are as clean and spartan as some platonic blueprint of truth.
Nothing is both as political and as apolitical as a variable.
@smallcircles @MarloesdeKoning @ShadowJonathan ik zie de huidige experimentele fase als variatie en selectie. Helemaal nieuwe concepten zijn lastig zomaar te lanceren, als er al ideëen komen
@hanscees @MarloesdeKoning @ShadowJonathan
Ja, dat klopt. Er is niks mis met Mastodon/fediverse. Het is een fantastisch experiment, met een groot succes (miljoenen fedizens gebruiken het). Ik beschouw het als een geslaagd prototype.
Dat gezegd hebbende heeft het ActivityPub protocol een veel grotere potentie, maar zorgt de technologische implementatie ervoor dat deze mogelijk nooit behaald gaat worden. De werkwijze en processen die de evolutie van de fediverse nu bepalen, maken het steeds lastiger om innovatieve richtingen in te gaan. Het risico is groot dat het bij "succesvol decentraal microblogging omgeving" blijft, maar niet "de toekomst van online sociaal netwerken".
Een koerscorrectie is m.i. nodig. In verschillende blog posts ga ik hier nader op in, bijv. https://coding.social/blog/prosocial-web
This is starting to be too easy - new cameras working first try !

6 years ago, a company paid me £17,450 twice, for no reason. I reported the payments to the company & offered to repay. They said they'd investigate. Never heard anything back, even when asking for an update. Oh well, legally mine now since the statute of limitations has passed.
@fesshole I received back payment for a pay rise on a contract I worked as it took them ages to finalise the pay rise. They then accidentally paid the back payments to me twice. Told me boss, they just told me to keep quiet and keep the money for my troubles.

Just a reminder of how Nvidia propped up the crypto world and laid the groundwork for all the toxic data centers spreading all over the west like herpes and created artificial scarcity for GPU and storage back then, so when they deny their role in inflating the AI bubble, as we know they will, keep that all in mind.

This is the kind of development I like. Same features with less code! And I ain't even done yet.
Now, there are some ugly parts too, like:
let mut mop = MeansOfProduction::new(server.script())?;
<MeansOfProduction<dom::Trainee> as SexDungeon<dom::Trainee>>::run_tests(&mut mop)
.map_err(|_| {
miette::miette!("Tests for http-server `{}` failed.", server.name())
})?;
This is a bit bullshit.
Anthropic is planning to go public on Thursday - they don't have a final S-1 yet, do they?? The S-1, S-1a and S-1b are all drafts??
@davidgerard might be a slight problem there.
if they do go through with it, that would not end well.
if they cancel it, that might be even worse.
my only problem with the shenanigans of the last couple days is my face starting to ache, due to all the use of my atrophied grinning muscles.

Fa dos anys que no reviso ni actualitzo el seu codi tot i que funcionava perfectament.
(Almost) ready to turn my beloved MacBook Air 2013 - which is gathering dust on a shelf - into a #Linux laptop.
Only problem: multiple people might have swayed me to pick Arch Linux as the distro. #ArchLinux!!! I know NOTHING but from all the Linux memes I've seen over the years, I've always been intimidated by it.
Debating whether to go with it or #Mint or #Ubuntu. Thoughts?
Edit / update: it's now a toss-up between Mint and Fedora. I may try Arch on my Raspi4
@_elena Mint is easy to start!! Move on Mint!! Arch is for people who wants to know every single of code what is of own Os.. You should to be a skilled person.. ok with tutorial online you can install it easily right now, we can also try to have a help with Chat-gpt or Claude. Hahaha.
I miss the days when all of this was villages and the worst thing you would hear of is an indiscretion with the farmer and you'd settle it with a bushel of orchard fruit
The curse of knowledge is the higher level consequence of The Case Against Reality (Hoffman).
We MUST abstract away otherwise reality is overwhelming.
Good teachers can backtrack through stack then make it apparent to guide newcomers, but only what's needed for THEM, nothing more, nothing less.
@dansup can you please make the top bar fixed in place (not go out of frame when scrolling down), and return the profile page to square images.
At the very least, give us the option to return it to how it was. Pixelfed has gone from an app I use daily to one I use less than weekly.

@zed Yes, that will be a new optional setting in the next mobile app update!
Yay! Got rid of channels.

I'd take the lenovo.
@arsid@app.wafrn.net
I think so too, but resale m1 value is higher (even tho is not on my plan)
BUT ALSO: even if the cpu is worse ish, it shall be able to play fallout new vegas on linux
My other problems: sometimes i get tired of the penguin and macos is a lot better (than windows)
Our Halloween watchlist came to an end. But I still have to share the last 2-3 movies here. Let's start:
Hatching from 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Weird little horror movie from Finland. All the wrong people die, but the girl should get an Oscar for acting.
He’s gone a bit mad has little Marco.
Imelda?
Rubio?
Garvey?
Polo?

@renardboy @futurebird @netopwibby @catsalad except the extra special ones. Lived with one cat that had 12 fingers and 10 toes.
He ate sitting up and picking up food with his paws.
