Hairs cut. @IamMrsGeek made me pretty for today’s interview.

@jacobydave I just think of them as brutalist outsider art for music

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 07:27

@genehack well that is simply unacceptable

#Capacities is moving towards query support, which definitely bumps it up a couple notches for the journaling / #PKM flow. Cloud-based does not delight me, but it’s maybe the most approachable of the newer structured note systems.

@jacobydave Lemme stop snarking for a minute and actually listen to the more popular tracks.

eh, core is catchy beats without much more on top of that. Mostly a distillation of genre essentials. Simplified lyrics easier to track in these times of crisis and universal brouhaha. Not my style — I like my music a little busier — but I get why some might like it.

@masukomi Ohh that bit me once a long time ago trying to reuse a single Pygments renderer for my home-grown static site generator. I fixed it and forgot all about it.

Useful info to share!

@masukomi “fixed” for my specific situation by using a new instance for each highlighting occasion, not “fixed” by resolving the underlying issue.

@Johannab Happy effin’ birthday. That sucks. Here is an older picture of our boys.

I’m glad that some people are excited for the WWDC announcements.

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 11:05

@maddiefuzz @lmorchard that too

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 11:15

@rhosyn I have worked with good teams that encourage this sort of schedule communication.

@lmorchard skip the distress call and get straight to the station, you got a thargoid coming right at you!

@thegibson but the goggles, they do nothing

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 11:20

@thegibson the secret of comedy is timing

I’m terrible with secrets

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 11:35

everybody wondering where the cable goes but I’ve seen enough unusual instagram accounts to know not to ask a question like that

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 11:41

me: i have no patience to sit and watch the #WWDC stream

also me: let’s sit and watch people post about what they see on the WWDC stream

Remembering when folks would get earbuds with black cables so other folks would think they had a cheapo MP3 player or just a discman instead of the distinctive white cable of an iPod. You know, so they wouldn’t be mugged for their expensive iPod.

I don’t think that’s gonna work with a headset. Can it cloak itself as Google Glass?

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 12:09

If I was a developer for Apple platforms and I had an extra $3500 + taxes lying around sure I’d get the goggles. I could imagine that being a handy head start to the vision thing’s future iterations.

But I’m not and I don’t so I won’t.

Forgetting I could call tech support thanks to a childhood of stolen cable and found tech.

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 16:08

Does he mean his petty criminal past leads to forgetting that tech support is an option now? Or that his petty criminal past led him to a financial situation where he pays for services and can utilize official resources?

Yes.

@IamMrsGeek I don’t know who’s exactly looking but I know we know someone who knows someone who’d be interested.

Took me three tries to type that and I’m still confused. Anyways @thegibson you know anyone who might be a) a fit; and b) interested? It is definitely not startup life, which would be a selling point for some of us.

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 17:44

@thegibson @IamMrsGeek you are awesome and contribute to awesomeness

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 19:23

I genuinely hope there are accessibility features for Apple’s vision thing. That could help so many people.

but i also hear a tiny voice in my head whispering its suspicions

with vision os any space within reach of a network connection is part of an open office floor plan

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 19:27

@particles @IamMrsGeek I am not 100% sure but I think that list has extended since the initial posting! I don’t recall seeing AZ the first time I looked.

hackers.town: 2023-06-05 Mon 19:31

@thegibson not sure why but now I need some Eisenfunk

@pdcawley I’m tempted to go with ![](let-them-fight.gif) but I recognize the danger.
