@suricrasia They're pretty amazing honestly. Truly an abomination for the modern age. IMO it's be cool if they were living creatures you could bio engineer to producs different compounds like energy drinks or mashed potatoes.
@suricrasia We need to normalize those ketchup teats but for every form of goop.
@jackdaw_ruiz It slowly eats your life and mind. Non zero chance you start thinking in orgmode. It being extendable and covering so many functions may be part of it. A big part of it is where it mixes with the GNU-focused sector of open source / free software folks. At least in my observations.

Has someone made a thing to convert mathematical notation to code, that would be great, because I can read code but when im looking at a big pile of Greek symbols my eyes just sorta glaze over unless my job depends on it
@andrew_chou I wouldn't say I quite *love* html, but my fave part of it compared to xml js that I don't need to bother with namespaces and there's really just one way to write each tag/attribute. XML namespaces instantly add a bunch of confusing bloat that just isn't friendly to look at. One of the main things that's kept me away from RDF so long tbh.

writing a keygen in php is incredibly bizarre behaviour, but there you go http://thps-mods.com/thug2cdkey.php
As much as I like flathub for making it easy to install linux apps, the permissions systems and OS styling is all over the place which is inconvenient. Probs works best if you stick to a default GNOME/KDE setup instead of all the weirdness I've got going on.
See I was hoping for stuff more along these lines from youtube: https://youtu.be/SrltwGJAiCM
Finally got the tiktok STEM tab but sadly most of it seems to be high school level math for folks studying for SATs which is not very interesting to me. Like the third video talking about the quadratic formula was wayy too much. Getting a bunch of geology content though which is an area I don't know much about and is interesting.
Yeah the full moon defs makes me more restless
Screeeech I wanna do something but my friends are morning people and there's a lot of covid cases right now so crowded clubs seem unappealing 😭

@Molondrongo @futurebird @discoursology
if users can't figure out where their files are, they can't switch to an alternative app, can't protect themselves against the app deleting, modifying, or moving their files. Location obfuscation enables companies to have all the benefits of widely used interoperable file formats, but prevents users from using said benefits in ways which might not benefit the company. Whenever you see "intuitive", think about how that concept is used to manipulate people.
@gregeganSF @futurebird @tetron Yes! That's the one. I kinda binged all the books I could get my hands on in a row so it's been a jumble in my head. 😅
@futurebird @tetron @gregeganSF has a great plot point related to it where the main character manipulates probabilities. I forget which story it was but I think it's in The Best of Greg Egan or maybe in Sleep and the Soul.
@mcc I have a feeling that even if you try to delete yourself it won't actually remove your data from training at this point

I've said it before and you guys have ridiculed me for it (with the exception of a notable audience that wholeheartedly agrees)
Scrap the past 20 years of tech everything. All this flat bullshit UI design that's impossible to figure out how to use. Stupid touchscreen phones with no buttons or keyboards, and this nightmarish "mobile first" disaster that makes everything gross and terrible. Internet- and cloud-connected everything that's a safety and privacy nightmare. Hardware that's designed first and foremost with a scheduled obsoletion philosophy and artificially makes perfectly adequate equipment run like dirt.
Let's go back to Palm pilots, phones with actual buttons, Classic Mac OS, plain HTML with very little javascript, tape drives and manual backups, and finally have some sanity again.
@yosh Ah! In this case the learned lesson was more about how rust passes by value by default and we were accidentally cloning state and needed to wrap it in a mutex to be able to actually mutate the one value.
This week's #Rust lesson was to wrap mutable bits of state in `Arc<Mutex<>>` otherwise you may encounter issues with data not persisting even though you think you've got mutable references to it.

I unfortunately am not at all skilled in hardware design or development, but more than anything I just wish someone would put out a digital ring or smartwatch that could act as a personal wearable datastore, that could auto sync with other devices over bluetooth as a disk. I just can't believe we aren't walking around with 512gb local-syncing watches on our wrists. 😢
