Finding a toilet while non binary is a humiliation ritual where you have to pick a gender. On the other hand you can swap to the other gender if the one you picked is too crowded. 🤔

it took a while, but the bash script i wrote to find the most popular article category on wikipedia by curling every single article has finally finished. no i don't know what a "database dump" is. i can now reveal that the most popular category by far is 429 Too Many Requests

More "boring" service providers who are content with a modest profit margin and slow organic growth, please. I don't even care if the UI looks "dated" and new features take a long time to be built. Traditional boring bare metal, only add new customers when you have capacity to support it, whatever.
A company of 50+ year old tech veterans who have been laid off and left behind from age discrimination just looking to keep the bills paid until retirement.
Run it like a co-op, like a little credit union that isn't looking to expand quickly, just serve their little niche of the community.

@django I'm not sure actually. They're the "goblin" translations after the guy that did it. https://languagehat.com/the-goblin-version/
@brandon It's also the gift I have to remember how to give every time a power outage wipes the settings 🤪
The russian parody translation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is still the best version IMO
I hate to admit it but the Apple UI ecosystem seesm to be the most coherent one even though I despise the new "Liquid Ass" design they've pushed out. At least I don't need to think about three competing standard ui toolkits and a bunch of one off ones that are all a pain in the ass to style the same way. 🤪
@suricrasia It's a pokemon march of futility
I don't think this upcoming generation is going to give a damn about centralized intellectual property and media.

In this day and age, the simple backstitch feels like the ultimate One Weird Trick (Capitalist) Garmentmakers Don't Want You To Know.
Like, what do you mean I can grab literal pennies' worth of thread and a needle that cost maybe ten cents, turn my cycling glove inside out, sit down with it for five minutes, and all of a sudden the hole that had opened up at the thumb joint is better than when I got it??
Repair is so rad!! Tell your friends. If you don't known how to backstitch a seam back together, ask a friend who does, see if there's a repair cafe in your area, heck, look it up on YouTube. Every repair is one less piece of trash!
My greatest gift to this household has been figuring out how to disable the sound on the microwave.
64 gbs of non expandable storage is brutal 😭
@cwebber They should have made a software patent for HTTP.
Updated some software recently and it actually made it better and not drain my system resources as fast. Who knew that was possible?!
@dan613 Yeah defs make sure folks around you are extra vigilent and listen to them if they say you seem to be off. The side effects on the brain for that one are pretty awful (if they happen).
@dan613 Whatcha getting? I found Adderall had the most convenient tradeoffs.
Not letting myself have an energy drink today. 💪 I'll add more protein to my diet and take it slow instead of maxing out caffeine and sugar.
Should I become a tech larper and focus on style over utility? 🤪
Reading "Half Past Human" and all the casual cannibalism in the story is an *interesting* choice.
