Talking with a friend about very familiar-sounding frustrations with their partner.

Me: “so does he have his ADHD diagnosis yet, or is he still on his journey of discovery?”

They: “He doesn’t have ADHD, he just has trouble following up on things unless — it’s something that really interests him” (trailing off slightly)

Me: “I repeat my question.”

They: “point taken”

Honestly whatever version of this line was the original, it has kept me out of one hell of a lot of trouble over the course of my life.

@Greg I get it. There aren’t enough keyword mutes some days.

We’re well into the political poopscape, with folks getting understandably worked up and boosting everything that pokes their buttons.

While we’re all collectively figuring out the best workarounds (maybe quote-boosting with a CW wrapper via phanpy or other frontend?), here’s a suggestion for the receiving end of the firehose.

@benbrown Maybe someday insurance will cover it, because $4K, hoo boy.

And then a few years after that maybe my insurance will cover it. F’ing Kaiser.

I’m just saying. Your #PKM approach can be whatever you need it to be.

The useful bit for me here is tracking when I was awake enough to register my notes, and to kill the initial blank page problem.

There was a brief stretch where I looked forward to Win 10/11 updates, mainly for better WSL features and integration. Looks like that stretch has ended.

Anyways, there are suggestions for fixing the new Microsoft Sponsored Malware Loader. Including “use Linux / macOS” obvs. But if neither of those paths are relevant to you, there’s Stardock and I think a few other options.

I made it a notable way into the Google interview pipeline, back when most of us still associated them with “don’t be evil.”

Some kind of cognitive dissonance hit my neurospicy brain hard and I dropped out of the process. No I didn’t know what or why — brain rarely explains these things to me. It just refuses to let me continue, and it usually turns out to be right.

@sushee ~2008, but I bounced pretty quick to Pyblosxom and ran that instead for a year.

Kind of a fun morning / evening routine of playing through five or ten days as context shift between the day’s modes.

Anyways, I guess it’s officially a leatherworker polycule now. I swear to god the rope lead is unrelated. Haven’t looked for that mod, but I’m sure it exists.

@IamMrsGeek “go play in traffic” is just proactive parenting

Reinstalling Taskwarrior 2.6 so I can manually export my task history so I can reupgrade to Taskwarrior 3 and manually import my task history.

The path could be smoother.

One of the deadest giveaways in text-to-image imagery is how so many prompt authors share the same terrible aesthetic.

It was a pretty nice ride.

@genehack thanks! It’s gonna take a few minutes to decompress.

hackers.town: 2024-04-20 Sat 06:46

@tedder yeah neither of us would be a good choice for driving.

Glad that there’s forward motion on quote boosting as an official Mastodon / ActivityPub thing, and my only hope now is it’s somewhat compatible with the half-dozen ad hoc implementations that have come out while folks were waiting.

Initial busy stage of homeward bound: fleeing the hotel.

They’re gonna mess up her hair I just know it.

Never letting @IamMrsGeek use the “kitty salon” Groupon again I tell you what

@bitprophet “pre-2010 experience available on request” is a cop-out but a useful one.

Sufficient vacation fatigue that I am looking forward to a few hours in the airport.

Woke up an hour late for me, at least three hours early for reasonable people on vacation.

Tried too hard to sit still and quiet. Failed. Got leg cramp anyways.

Fingers remain crossed for the non-profit data / process job. Won’t hear about it until tomorrow at best.

But I’d love to have that career focus shift. Frankly, the bulk of listed developer positions just look boring.
