@tek Jesus. My new (4 months) job is local market rate, and I’m still reeling. I can’t even wrap my head around 550k.

@djsundog focusing on shell and desktop for my numbers.

Loads of convenience desktop features I never learn about because I love the shell.

Meanwhile I think I’m ready to switch from random interesting online tutorials to a proper book.

Not right now obviously. Maybe in the morning.

Book: The Go Programming Language

Yes there really is a Hot Dog Stand theme for VS Code. @rkoutnik wrote it and it’s painfully awful and I love it.

oh no Amazon’s trying to sell me keyboards.

Young me would never have expected this to be a weakness.

Then again young me had a wall of used sci-fi books and a tub of Star Wars figures so he better not judge.

I have thoughts about the effort to gentrify Belltown (started way before Biscuit Bitch so not 100% relevant here)

But real thought is how many of these complaints could be addressed if Amazon etc paid full taxes rather than making small business shoulder the burden?

Finally decided to set up a Chrome login just for the work account and yeah that does make things easier (he realizes, after several years of everything on the same browser login)

If I were to judge based on my Discovery Queue, Steam now only stocks sports, racing, and military games, and only for Windows.

Which is odd, since I keep buying other genres for other operating systems.

On applying “neurodiverse” to Stallman’s patterns including his email defense of Epstein:

@jgaskins oh man I remember thinking WSDL was gonna be so awesome.

@codesections @davey@fosstodon.org Was on Pop! for a while & Manjaro now, and I find both work well for gaming.

@ceejbot IIRC there was some privacy sort of shark-jumping not long ago, but I was already ignoring keybase (nothing virtuous, I forgot my login again)
