There’s a game on Steam, part of their Czech & Slovak Games Week.
Escort Manager?
That’s bold.
Oh wait. Esport Manager
That’s less bold.

@farah well hell. Indeed’s getting swamped with fake applicant accounts (to go along with the fake job listings but that’s my own editorializing) so keep your search net wide.

I was looking for a particular Reagan protest poster, found this better one instead. From a 1968 attempt to recall Reagan as governor of California.
Okay yeah the recall failed and he went on to be the Teflon President.
Depressingly familiar tune.
(sigh)
But (many of us) are still here. We always will be.

Kitty Jack: “I want to go outside!”
(gets put in carrier for followup vet appointment)
Jack: “wait no not like this”

We did a smart thing: keeping the carrier out and open so it’s just part of the furniture instead of a trauma-only item.
Had to get Barry out of it so Jack could waltz in.
It wasn’t until we locked it that he worried.

@AlgoCompSynth @vkc agreed, and TBH exactly why I picked Cinnamon from this list!
Though I may try LXQt next time I’m sitting in front of a Linux partition.

@denis now Not even on Windows, but I think this might be my next weekend project.
Now that my site’s stabilized on “Hugo blog” I got a real strong urge to mess about with the “Hugo” aspect. Still got my experimental Nanoc iteration in a repo somewhere.

Normalize saying “release you to the winds” instead of “giving you seven minutes of time back”
They’re both lies, but the only way to make the second one true is to cut off the work network.

“Looks like we’re done with the meeting early. I’m going to give everyone their time back.”
(cut to miles away, next to a suddenly dark GitHub server rack) WTF?

@WuMargaret For now it’s just a dream.

@m it’s the spherical cow of value judgments

Decades later, I still wash dishes like it’s the lunch rush and my backup is whining about a hangover.
Which is to say, as fast and as loud as possible.
hackers.town: 2024-11-12 Tue 21:05
No, I rarely ever tried to be loud washing dishes.
I just never bothered trying to be quiet.
Returned to one job after a few months elsewhere. One of the regulars hears the rhythmic clang from the dish pit.
“Is that Brian? It is!”

Chrome and all the Electron apps froze and had to be individually force quit.
No idea why.
I don’t really know when they froze. I’ve been in a terminal most of the evening.

Maybe a network hiccup with some characteristic that makes Chromium sad?

Back to linework on the bedtime #drawing, with tonight being fiddly details. I do love fiddly details.
