Being a human : if you find yourself saying "sorry" too much. Start saying "thank you" instead. E.g. "Thank you for your patience" instead of "sorry I was 1 minute late". Sets the tone for collaboration and positivity.

Feels good to finally get a fix for a CI issue that's been plaguing my inbox with false errors. 😵

"average fedi user has 10 domains" factoid actually statistically accurate. average fedi user has 10 domains

Ant Fact of the Day:

"Ant Garnets" are tiny red gems found by ants. I know this sounds made up ... but it's real.

Harvester ants dig deep nests (up to 6m!) and they bring the soil to the surface grain by grain. Sometimes they find garnets, tiny precious red gemstones.

These are waste to the ants: they end up in the spoil heap around the nest. When it rains, the lighter stone washes away, the garnets from deep in the earth remain.

Those in the know can collect them from the surface.

Android sucks because most apps are not keyboard accessible and won't scoll correctly without touch swiping to scroll 😵 E.g. the discord server / dm tingie doesn't even work with mouse clicks 🫠

Somone send me code they wrote that was fun to write please!

Tech bugs rambling 

Soundcloud's "offline play" feature is garbage. How is it not instant and why does the album art need to load from the net every single time? 👿

Fierce battle of polytopia session at the club 😎🤓

Been warching "Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill" to get my apetite up and get inspo for cooking.

If your website embeds some kind of shitty PDF viewer into it instead of allowing me to download and read it locally, know that I despise your whole operation and will do my best to avoid it.

Web apps in your bookmarks? More like spells in your grimoire

Eternally thankful that I'm not popular enough for my hot takes to matter 🥰

The gall of people submitting low effort "security suggestion" slop with most of it being irrelevant or incorrect. 🫠

When I was little there was a big weeping willow tree on my street & I was terrified of it. I was convinced the branches were gonna scoop me up and swallow me whole.

One day I got brave & went up to it...and it swallowed me, I've been inside the tree ever since, it's pretty nice in here actually

Fuck my chungus life apparently my keyboard has bluetooth 2.0 and my computer only supports 4+ 😭

Yippee I got a new computer. It's like a chonky credit card. Just gotta get a pass through battery for it and figure out mobile internet. My apple trackpad might make a comeback to supplement my one handed keyboard which is gonna be my new primary input device

Windows 12 is due to come out this year.

1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.

Why?

Your PC will need a dedicated NPU — a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.

2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.

That's right — you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you won’t own your computer while Windows is installed.

NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Don’t make excuses. Don’t even complain — we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit you’re Microsoft’s little bitch.

Source? Yes, this is real.
