@IamMrsGeek bouncing kitten is right

hackers.town: 2023-10-10 Tue 09:38

We set a gate up to keep the dogs away from @IamMrsGeek when the quilting is spread out, but that also means there’s a spot for the cats to hang out without Bouncy Dog’s overenthusiastic play.

Bouncy Dog does not approve. @IamMrsGeek

Not really into platformers but I’m in the mood for learning stuff, so here we are.

@mjgardner @gizmomathboy I was thinking more for purposed of sharing and discovery.

@mjgardner @gizmomathboy that does look really nice but I think we all keep relearning the fraught nature of external services.

Nah what I was thinking was export browser bookmarks.html, massage it a little bit, and make it a page on one’s personal site.

The Internet was better when it was worse.

I think I’m gonna have to stop using DDG. Too many times I do a search, check the results, click a link, nah, browser back, and — it’s a dramatically different results list.

Or I’ll scroll down the results list, and two or three screens down suddenly the results are now rental properties in my area or something else not even remotely related.

They might use Bing for results but Bing (so far) isn’t doing the same thing.

#SleepingDogs is on sale for $3 on Steam. I got it. I am really really bad at it. But it’s fun. Very Hong Kong Action Movie.

I really am shockingly bad at twitch games. Died three times in the Sleeping Dogs tutorial.

18:34 PowerToys PowerRun was getting confused and interpreting plain old space bar as Alt + Space for Mrs Geek on Windows 10, so we disabled PowerRun and just to be on the safe side told PowerToys not to run on startup.

@martini I had been thinking the same thing, but didn’t want to say it.

Annoyed by a company responding to my application with interest because it interrupted my flow writing a cover letter for another job application, in case you’re wondering what hyperfocus looks like.

While I absolutely approve of the job applications that discourage use of text generated by LLM tools, I think they need better phrasing than “I agree to use only my own words.”

“Hey I’m using the ones everyone else has been using!”

The buzzword soup variety of job description is unpleasant — where they drop every tech they use, have used, might use in the future, and saw once in a vlog — but when they don’t mention any tech at all that’s a little unnerving.

@luciano I keep hoping someday soon I’ll get to ignore them.

Would you mind boosting it or otherwise pointing me towards it?

Started on a basic theme for #TriliumNotes and decided I wasn’t going to do that thing where I work on something for hours and forget to share more than a screenshot.
