Usually when I’m almost-there-but-d’oh-just-yet – things worked out almost alright but I need to adjust the results and it’s easier to do that in place (e.g. because I have _that_ file open elsewhere already and want it to auto-refresh).

I know, I know, nothing new here. But after all these years I still love this logic to bits. 😍

This is a good thread, and I’m super happy that Cloudflare offers all this on their free plan:

I never understood why quote posts of bad takes are better than screenshots – quoting gives them reach, potential new follows, etc., while screenshot is yours to control (and you can still link the post if you really feel like it).

it’s been over twenty years since I had a desktop, but this one was too cute to pass up – plus 24 cores at 65 W, 96 GB RAM, nice semi-galvanic separation of 2 TB Windows & 4 TB Arch Linux NVMes, two 2½ Gb/s Ethernet ports & others I had to catch up on (OCuLink!) 😊

given all the other context about the author I can totally believe it was accidental, but then we go back to the whole artist vs art conundrum and ‘if you can’t paint like this you’re literally worse than Hitler’

not to sound tone-deaf to the seriousness of the discussion, but I find it deeply fascinating how the one thing the LLM totally missed is that there are human figures in the original

if my science is right then it’s only six more rounds and the 83yo Trzaskowski will finally win with a ‘PiS-supported independent candidate’ in 2055

cast my first valid vote in a Polish presidential elections runoff in twenty years, here’s hoping I’ll get to regret it 🤞🤞🤞

I went with a Keychron Q11 last November (assuming I’ll just keep it together if I can’t get used to the split) and to my great surprise I actually love it to bits

TIL the project actually has ‘summarised settings’ – not ‘samuraised settings’ – and I’m more disappointed than when I learnt ‘Tora! Tora! Tora!’ is not the cute Hanukkah romcom it sounded like.
