Spent some time yapping with my musician friends about the holy wars programmers have around tabs vs spaces and where to put indentation.
Seems every community has a similar set of very divisive but benign sounding ongoing "debates".

Any folks with experience in hardening windows? Someone wants to automate it. Send me a DM if interested.

Love been in spaces where I'm not the most visibly queer person in the room 🥰

Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard could it be?"

As it turned out, remarkably easy. (Though, it helps that someone already wrote a guide for it: wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Ste )

Pretty sure it's a YMMV situation, but my milage was pretty good.

It's always "School doesn't prepare us for Life well enough, we should be learning to do taxes instead of interpreting poetry" and never "Adult Life should be more poetry and less absurd and complicated tax rules"

How many engineers does it take to support EventEmitter in TypeScript out of the box? Trick question! Over a decade and millions of dollars is not enough to have support for the most common class in Node.js 🫠

It's not sleep deprivation, I'm just a "morning person" now.

Thought terminating phrase? I think you mean a "counterspell". 🌟

i saw this cursed monstrosity and now you get to too

fizzbuzz in 3 lines of code

li:is(:nth-child(3n), :nth-child(5n)) { list-style: none } li:nth-child(3n)::before { content: "Fizz" } li:nth-child(5n)::after { content: "Buzz" }

Evil idea: "Echo Chamber"

Mastodon instance that has a single human user and a bunch of LLMs that pretend to be their friends and form a parasocial social network. Orchestrator thinks of account "gimmicks" and configures posting frequency / response frequency.

Had to do a total rewrite of this MVP service, but it's fun because we no longer need "accounts" and auth is now done through cryptographic secrets.

@thief_of_fire I've had similar thoughts about discord-like interfaces

This Wednesday is the Folk Tech Connection Call:

​> Folk Tech is a movement among people who want to develop apps for their community without depending on big tech companies and a community of developers making decentralized, p2p, open source, open standard-based tech

Featuring an interview with @mauve!

"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?

@ellyxir Yeah I'm not 100% sure but at the very least I'm remembering more of the weird ones. Mine have also been pretty surreal historically. One fun thing is I'm actually playing the role of "myself" in the dreams more often.
