"i like kettle cooked potato chip--" don't pmo

am i well aware that pressing the pedestrian crosswalk announce button does nothing to change the light timing? yes will i continue to press it? ...yes

they should make it extremely difficult to open vim too

through a random series of website hops i just learned about dynamicland, whose idea of communal commuting (which they've implemented with pieces of physical paper & cameras & projectors) is the closest thing i've ever seen to the social aspect of protoflux in resonite

comparison shopping for bucket storage and boy do these platforms absolutely love to say "predictable pricing" or "affordable pricing" without saying exactly what that pricing is in any easy-to-find place lmao

most of the google product announcements have me rolling my eyes but the prospect of them paying a smidge of attention to google earth vr (even if it's just the experience & not the steam app) is extremely exciting, since google's small foray into vr was incredible & a masterclass in vr ui design

i have spent the last three hours looking for any possible alternative and there's literally nothing. you can use obsidian sync (which would require my friends paying $5 a month) or affine (which still has AI garbage and a sketchy license) or ... notion (which has a 1000 block cap for teams) wtf wtf

is there any platform like notion that's actually fucking usable? i used to love it & i kind of need something like it for a project that involves multiple people but the INCESSANT ai garbage being thrown in my face makes it genuinely unusable. i guess google docs exists but that's not multi-page

I think it’s kind of interesting that so many cultural and political elites decided “learning loss” from remote schooling during a pandemic was so severe it was worth ignoring medical safety, while actual learning loss from AI is pervasive and growing and they all want to impose more of it on us.

"vibe coding" needs a direct competitor. I propose "woe coding", which involves locking a fresh CS student in a room with a ThinkPad older than me until they write a web application in ANSI C89 using ed(1)

WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THAT TYPESCRIPT WAS THIS NICE

they need to work in the lab to create a biological entity that likes the exact same songs as me

what the hell. surely there are multiple people at the offices of bluesky who are able to see how awful this looks

i'll do it at 11:30. just kidding i'll do it at 11:45. just kidding i'll do it at 12:00 just kidding i'll do it at 12:15. just kidding i'll do it at 12:30. just kidding i'll do it at 12:45. just kidding i'll do it at 1:00. just kidding i'll do it at 1:30. just kidding i'll do it at 1:35. just ki

i don't know why i find it so amusing knowing that the professor for the course for the final i'm currently studying for is on bluesky. i could just tag them right now and say 'why are you doing this to me .......' and they would SEE IT

@itmg.bsky.social

i have been increasingly pulling up python repls to explain things to people and i just realized (in shock & horror) that it's basically just the equivalent of gpt using its little interpreter

there's nothing like waking up from a nap to confront the crushing reality of One Final Project and One Final Essay and Four Final Exams all within the timespan of like 3 days 😊

elevators can sense fear. that's how they know when to stop on every floor when you're in a rush

every day i remain grateful i stopped running 1.16.1 rsg. i'm free

i can't help but realize that there is a nearly direct correlation between a) the time since i've last programmed using python & b) whether i choose to quote things using single or double quotes

woke and DEI get removed, economy instantly crashes.

do you think that the song "fly me to the moon" would be a lot less romantic if we had easily accessible space flight

is there a meaningful performance benefit having a client just query your server every ~10s or so versus just opening a websocket connection and broadcasting when data changes

> makes post asking for reasons why people dislike their touch bars > no replies hmm

this verification shit is fine and dandy but can you please bump up the padding-left @bluesky

people who reply 'lgtm' on prs with TWO COMMITS need to GET REAL

can people with touch bar macbooks convince me why you hate yours & they suck? the touch bar has always seemed super fun and i'm upset i never had a laptop with one

whenever i feel dissociative i play radiohead's "how to disappear completely" in reverse
