Dear North Americans,

Please stop using seasons when referring to release dates etc.

Kind regards,

Hell yeah, it’s Friday night. Time to send a couple texts and immediately fall asleep

Honestly I'm really happy with the simplicity of this tool. With it I can debug large datasets of data without needing to touch the network or maintain a web app.

Just created a new arcane spell "bafkqabanbigqu". It's a "Content ID" for the string `\r\n\r\n`.

OK I admit it. Static types can help catch bugs sometimes. :P Lost a couple hours of work because I was using `.length` instead of `.recordLength`

#Gmail is starting to show even more ads -- and they're appearing in the middle of email lists.

There's a real benefit to using email software that doesn't rely on YOUR data to generate revenue or train AI.

Didn't get a grant after months of radio silence and no real insight as to why. 🙃

Ghost hunting is so cruel. They're already dead. Why do you have to kill them again? Are you even going to use it for ghost meat?

Here's what a CAR with a WebRecorder WACZ file chunked to split the contents looks like: hackmd.io/aQnRiqVDSj2e2TZzsV8c

Each node is identified by part of it's hash and the number of bytes within it. Sadly this WARC doesn't have any deduplication in it, but larger datasets might!

Making this so I can debug some custom chunking errors I'm getting in @webrecorder

I got this little keyboard from my computer so that I can sit cross legged and have my hands on my lap instead of having to reach up for my keyboard and mouse. I'm also using this to augment my speech to text set up. basically, I use my voice for most of my typing and then this thing for keyboard shortcuts and turning my speech recognition on and off.

India first democracy to ban encrypted messaging apps on massive scale.

Only days before Press Freedom Day, India banned apps for secure communication because of "terrorists" use.

HUGE FUCK YOU TO THE MISERABLE ASSHOLE WHO COMPLAINED TO THE CITY ABOUT MY BIODIVERSE FRONT YARD. Got a "Notice to Clean" about "weed abatement" so I guess my meadow has to go to satisfy some spiteful NIMBY. I'm fuming, guys. #FuckALawn #FuckYourLawn

My partner is really enjoying the MP3 player I got them.

It's super liberating to be able to just drag whatever files onto your device from wherever you want without a bunch of extra hassle.

Really disappointed that Apple has so much shit in the way of just using the device. Bonkers how Apple nuts are convinced it's got better UX than alternatives. Maybe it's better if you're wealthy and only use Apple products and services for everything.

Ha, another proof how decentralized internet is a must!

Our Wizard Amigos learner from Pakistan just notified me he can't watch our workshop because there are protests against the government happening and the government of course shut down all the main sites (including youtube).

So... I just started transitioning all the workshop videos to the Peertube. And voila, Pakistan is back in business <3

Lol, just had a bug where I wasn't able to trigger to download a file from due to it being interpreted as a text file (it was a @webrecorder WACZ file).

To work around this I opened up the dev tools and set `document.body.innerHTML = '<a download href="ipfs://whatever/webarchive.wacz">Download</a>' which replaced the page with a link to trigger a download of the file.

Honestly, I wish all apps had a devtools feature so I could mess around with their guts.
