@pdcawley rubber-ducking the universe. Yes, I’m familiar.

No I don’t want to go to your Discord to find out why your Electron app that I downloaded last year doesn’t start today. I know why. From network traffic, you specified external dependencies that are no longer available.

I’m not going to your dang chat oubliette. Write a real application.

Ah, modern life. Where the best way to enjoy the thrills of home ownership is in a computer game.

When writing Java code I totally get the appeal of an LLM coding buddy.

An ideal solution would be to use better programming languages but that is not an option, as fights would break out over which better programming language. Alas.

@perigrin Wellness check! Haven’t seen anything from you recently in the usual channels. Everything okay?

Making it easier to read #Logseq page references by zeroing out the default open blocks level in config.edn.

oh thank goodness Procreate’s next big thing is an animation studio not an art harvesting generative monster.

I mean #Procreate is a fantastic drawing app and I’m real happy that they’re doing well — though it’s been a few years since they added a feature that excited me — but I see any kind of “change the industry” hype and my immediate battle-scarred reaction is “oh no not again”

what are they gonna ruin now

An Android release would change the industry (shh let me pretend) but it’s not going to be that is it? Is there a betting pool?

Connect to Google property in new browser. Told to confirm in YouTube.

Before confirmation dialog, YouTube shows me an ad for something to watch football.

Two decades of data hoovering, getting every little detail about my browsing, viewing, and email habits, and they’re trying to sell me on football.

This solves a mystery for me. Why did those expensive West Seattle apartments we lived in have such terrible sound insulation? Why did they feel so solid when you stepped into the building, but so rickety when you actually settled into your new space? Five-over-one construction.

September is when a lot of my annual subscriptions come due, and now I get to do some serious prioritization.

@IamMrsGeek I’m not trying to win at this point. Just making you work for the mortal blow.

which is maybe less dramatic in scrabble but anyways

Bouncy Dog just bolted upright at the opening notes of ABBA “Super Trouper” and he staying riveted through the whole thing.

Might be giving some insight into his life before the shelter he was rescued from.

@voltur I’m thinking about using it to store my blog post sources as well!

quote of the day for me from a YouTube video on open source note applications

My system is chaos but shut up your system is too you don’t even have a system you’re watching a YouTube video on notes apps

He ended up with Neovim + Neorg but the video’s a pretty entertaining journey.

The chorus is part of why masking became a fun game instead of a chore for this neurospicy dude as a tot. It was like a little mnemonic for social interaction.

All right. Today is a day I screw around with Veilid.

@freakazoidaccidental misread that may amuse you

“this person posts way too frequently; I should unfollow them” and then realize you’re on your profile and not your home timeline.

@Rob_T_Firefly @thegibson @ocodia Was still getting weird clippiness in VLC so seeing if H.265 → H.264 via Handbrake does the trick for me.
