Playing the fun game of `Match the Result type`. Today's participants: `anyhow::Result`, `std::io::Result` and whatever the heck usize::try_from returns

Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important.
It needs 1 million signatures (currently 300K) and seven countries over their threshold (currently three: Denmark, France, Germany).
Having a rough one NGL. Gonna attribute it to the phase of the moon.
Cool, an effort to get Oracle to drop the #JavaScript trademark https://javascript.tm/
Emajil software has been the bane of my existence since I moved off of the built in client in Windows 7. The new frustration is Betterbird crashing on boot constantly after having crashed intermittently for months now. 🙃
Cool I guess I can run Android apps on my computer now 🤷
Kinda want to record some small rants for tiktok / youtube shorts

ahem.
Capturing the browser's back button/gesture to "wait before you go" a visitor is absolutely hostile and will never result in any volume of positive "conversions" you absolute fuckwads so knock it the hell off.
thank.
I feel like more businesses should be using VR for demoing stuff and for meetings. It's cheaper to buy and ship a headset than it is to fly somebody over or to pay for office / showroom space.

The question is: what do governments and law enforcements do when they realize every single person has a little agent on their phone that can answer literally *any* question about their activities, in simple human language? The “crypto wars” are going to look quaint.
The temptation to legislate government access to this agent will be enormous. It’ll start with heinous crimes like child sexual abuse or terrorism, and it will appear tightly targeted. But it will be applied at massive scale, to millions of people.
I miss when browsers would cache pages for offline use by default. It's so annoying that I need to wait for site devs to do a bunch of custom behavior with service workers instead of having control of it at the user agent. Sadly Electron doesn't make the caching super easy so it'd be a lot of time investment to add to Aggregore

also, libraries aren't a charity, they're a public service
the anti-IA people say the IA allows anybody to borrow while "real" libraries exist for the poor but that's not the purpose of a library & RL libraries don't just exist as charity for the poor
we as a society have lost the concept of what a public service is, we only see things in terms of profit and charity
public libraries exist b/c our societies decided that access to culture, to information, to knowledge, and to a public space that preserves those things is a public good, it's something everybody should have
public libraries are not and should not be a charity that we only minimally fund b/c some people are too poor to partake in capitalism and therefore need a little handout so they can get smarter to partake in capitalism
Thankful for the cool bsky folks that have enabled bridgy federation so I can see their stuff from this side of the fediverse 🥳
Screech 😵

re-upped my fancy instant noodle supply 😈 The one I had today had like 6 mysterious packets of goop in it.
I think social media platforms should have a block button that's like "fuck you, and fuck all your friends". Less so on the fedi but I think a lot of other platforms for "creators" could stand to benefit it as a more efficient way to cull trolls
Riddle me this Batman: WHen I run some code in one project it seems to work fine, but pretty much the exact same code in another project causes unexplainable stack overflows. How is that possible when the dependencies are the same version?
