Bored kitties and a computer workstation with lots of dangling cables create an adorable hazard.

[reads about “remote workers should be paid less”]

Less than what?

[looks at market rate averages for developers in tech hubs]

Everybody should make less than that.

(especially owners but that’s a different conversation)

@Ventronik when I left our victimsbcwheroes last, Thighs was dead from infection, his father Phillips had gone catatonic from the loss, and McFly had a mood boost because his rival was dead.

So for McFly yeah things are great! Got an extra bedroom!

@Ventronik made myself put it down and play with some code after that. I’ll be picking it back up later.

I’m on TweetDeck ‘cause that’s how I look at the birb site, right, and I click a link into Twitter proper and was their dark mode always so dark. There was something about a redesign? It’s not like shouting but like a person talking too loud even though you’re right there.

@gannet My guess is these sites are going for a 100 Lighthouse score. It has a test for insufficient contrast https://web.dev/color-contrast/, but the test and guidelines say nothing about excessive contrast, and you get no points for the subtleties. So that’s what they shoot for.

Loading up Chrome on the creaky MBP because Safari just isn’t working on too many pages.

Of course I blame the Web devs, focusing on Chrome. OTOH I don’t blame them, since that engine is behind like 90% of the browsers out there.

Sweet. I have a functioning useless python3 neovim remote plugin.

Trying different things with color instead of going wild with details that I never seem to finish.

@Ventronik maybe. Not sure. Either turn around now or spend the next 12 light years wondering.

Learning how addictive Rimworld is once you get the hang of it.

Currently playing at the mildest level, which works out as equivalent to a variation of The Sims. I’ll bump it up as I figure out the basic mechanics, but not by much. I’m not here to traumatize pixels. Yet.

I’m torn on a caption for this one. Possibilities include “I thought I told you to take care of that before we left” and “fine I’ll ask someone for directions” #EliteDangerous

Bouncing in and out of the #rakulang conf livestream thanks to work, but already getting ideas for half a dozen blog posts.

I’ll just set those over here by the other three dozen or so ideas and get back to work.

Good demo. Smoothed some feathers. Only had to growl a tiny bit.

My first new ship in Elite. Very sensible, spacious, “minivans of 1987” aesthetic.
