@wordshaper @ColesStreetPothole Reading the paper right now, and it’s a particularly level-headed look at the technologies and responsibilities involved.

@ElleGray Instantly thought of a half dozen folks who would have use for this.

Including me!

@antijingoist I’m feeling this as well. I gave it two chances — when Dart was new and shiny, then again last year when I realized Flutter was Dart and thus Dart still existed. I even put a bookmark in for later, because I kinda liked the way they do cross-platform.

Google doing their part to remind me they’re Google, and maybe don’t give it a third chance.

@antijingoist look if I’m going to torture myself there are other options. Rust, maybe.

Looking at a job description, following links out to things like the company values.

“Choose Optimism”

now just one minute

it has been a rough year

Anyways I always choose optimism. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.

@WuMargaret I like it. “Proceed with cat”

How would one proceed with a cat? Cautiously.

@rysiek yeah @baldur always makes me an energized kind of sad. Spiced with a little righteous indignation.

Spicy sad.

@Wrewdison sorry I had some of those flaming hot ranch doritos and I think they disagreed with me.

hackers.town: 2024-05-03 Fri 20:32

@Wrewdison how about the accent of ranch seasoning?

hackers.town: 2024-05-03 Fri 20:33

@Wrewdison fair.

@ceejbot @haineux I wondered what her initial reaction to the vocals would be and yep that checks out.

Now for the rest of it.

Because of @ceejbot

Hocus Pocus - Focus The Midnight Special - YouTube

The Midnight Special performance is extra special because, as per a comment:

«…only five minutes of showtime remained, so could they please play another, shorter song … to which the Dutch group replied “No, it is not a problem, we will simply play our intended song much faster!"»

@CoffeeGeek@flipboard.com @coffeegeek-ery-CoffeeGeek @coffeegeek@flipboard.social I’ve been believing and spreading some of those myths myself, so I appreciate the more accurate information!
