@shadowhand I’ve got a USB switcher, but the delay is just enough that I lose my flow. Lower setup is for whichever’s primary focus (work or personal), while top is always connected to personal system for notes, chat, and music.
And thanks!

@flyingsaceur of course not. They banned them after the incident in 1996.
Ask me how I am and there are one of two possible answers:
“fine”

Bouncy Dog suddenly very alert at the garage door, when everybody here I know of is home.
Looking at hardware profiles as described by 1,600 pages of cross-referenced tables really bringing forth the TTRPG memories. For a bit I was thinking maybe Rolemaster? But no it’s GURPS Space and designing some Imperial fleet or somesuch.
Lots of fun!
For me, i mean.

I recall putting the thing somewhere that seemed obvious at the time.
@rgegriff you’re right on all counts of course, and also: my brain still files most podcasts as “talk radio.” If I like it it’s one of “my shows.”
Which reinforces the requirement that podcasts be a platform-independent audio file syndicated with RSS since that is literally the only persistent hook that the word “podcast” has in my brain.

@jendefer yah! It’s no longer just a bright thing in the night sky, it’s the bright thing in the night sky.
@masukomi they’re shutting down because they couldn’t figure out how to generate sufficient revenue for their expenses, some people are sad because it is a nice site with a pleasant interface, some folks are making fediverse their primary instead of cohost, and I have no idea if new people are coming here from there but the welcomes are going out just in case.
I find the dark sky ordinance genuinely awesome, though it was a little disorienting after living in urban areas that routinely had enough street light to read by. You could only see two stars and maybe Venus, but you could read.
@toolsontech yes but also no. With books and whitepapers, the PDF works better as I intend to read, highlight, and extract on my own.
With specs and RFCs, they’re usually so dry I’m not going to retain it if I just read. A PDF would be dead weight.
The main serendipitous insights I want to extract is where they may intersect notes I already have. Mentions and the Graph Analysis plugin are a big part of my processing phase.
@paninid It’s okay tarantulas are very shy. It’s the javalinas you gotta look out for.
But yah we moved to Tucson recently, and there are all sorts of interesting critters and plants here. The plants are way more aggressive then the critters.

@grmpyprogrammer I’m pretty sure it’ll be a slow swirl around that drain given the established nature of Laravel — which I’ve generally interpreted as “well-organized projects are good, and also taking money is good.”
