OMG my The Bear opinion isn't fringe 🥲
I LOVE S1. I've made SO many ppl watch it.
I also liked S2.
I absolutely HATED S3. It felt like the writers got too much artistic freedom after their (well-deserved!) success & I had to watch them artistically jerking-off on TV.

The Bear Is Not a Good Show
When the series premiered on FX, it was smart and thoughtful television. Not anymore.

Have you been considering donating, but worried that we might be running out of space? Worry not! A new challenger appears! @Yhg1s has committed ANOTHER $5000 match, raising our total matching funds to $17,000, which (modulo a few additional receipts I need to process) means we are down to 43%.

Affinity going to shit as expected would've been so much easier to stomach if Apple wouldn't be neglect-killing Pixelmator at the same time. :( We went from two alternatives to zero.

Since Bartender's fancy features got super janky (if your Apple menu suddenly opens without doing anything: that's Bartender's triggers), I finally made the jump to Ice which is open source and lets somewhat sleep better at night. Better late than never. icemenubar.app/
Ice - Menu Bar Manager
Ice is a powerful menu bar management tool. While its primary function is hiding and showing menu bar items, it aims to cover a wide variety of additional features to make it one of the most versatile menu bar tools available. - Ice - Menu Bar Manager

lol so in order to add any kind of 2FA to a Twitch account, I have to give them my phone number and agree to "Twitch may use your phone number to call or send text messages for informational purposes."
How much 2FA goodwill have thirsty companies like this destroyed?

It's been two days, but I'm still excited to announce structlog 25.5.0!
It contains A LOT, but the main BLOCK of features is that the active ConsoleRenderer is now a) mutable and b) easily obtainable which allows for interactive adjustments w/o reconfiguring everything.

the other day I tried to explain astigmatism to someone (my eye condition that got worse over the years; reading glasses don't help me shit) and someone else was like "ah yes, real-life lens flare"!
I couldn't explain my issue to anyone in 45 years and there it was, in four words.

I'm SO afraid of Bloodlines 2. The first part was one of my favorites games of all times (I played it late and fan-patched). Given 2's dev history heartbreak is inevitable, huh? 😞

I think I have a whole blog post/talk/video in me on this topic, but I feel like most ppl lack imagination when thinking about the DB repository pattern. It doesn't have to be just add/list/get—it's probably even wasteful!

hot take: a big reason for the collective anxiety around free-threading is the result of decades of copium where we assured each other that it's good, actually, that #Python has a bad threading story, because threads are dAnGeRoUs and our feeble minds need protection
