Sometimes I'd rather hit up-arrow 25 times to recall the last time I typed some 3-letter command than to spend the energy to actually type the command again. Especially if that involves moving one or more hands(*) into position.

Then of course I type a couple hundred characters to toot about it.

@Tusky @botvolution Thanks. It did not even occur to moron me that I could contact them via Mastodon (nor did I know any other way). But now I see that info is right on an about tab in the app. I shall give it a shot.

I guess, as Homer Simpson says: Lord help me, I'm just not that bright

tusky is rather unpleasant to use now that the arrow keys have stopped working (mostly-- they still work if I'm looking at a thread, so it's not a keyboard interface issue). I sure hope this is some kind of version glitch that gets fixed. I've been fussing over this a little while now, haven't seen any settings or other helpful thing. Hopefully it's temporary. OTOH I could look at other app options.

@hellomiakoda yes... an inner dialogue seems normal to me.

@botvolution heh, not that

Temperature is up to 1L° now -- That's warm enough, too hot even. Mini splits can have a break.

@hellomiakoda I want the me music too!

All hail the scritchy comb

@botvolution it's a mystery 🙂

But it is fastened to the wall. I'd take a better photo but the guys working out there now and I'm trying to stay out of his way

The guy working on wallboard taping and mudding set up a platform to use. It was here overnight and will stay for a while. Inker wasted no time checking it out. It's a long way down and she looked over the edge but she was not tempted to jump thankfully.

The things one runs across sometimes.

I keep wishing I could run across my old directory of domain administrators from the late '80s. A paper book (I was in it). From bbn I think. I think that got lost several office moves ago unfortunately.

@hellomiakoda A breakdown in virgule reality?

I watched the BBC series "Defending the Guilty" on Amazon Prime. Pretty good, and I thought the soundtrack was very good. Only one season though.

@botvolution I'd have to wake her up 🙂

trickiness is not next to godliness. Or even goodness. I found this in some code:

char *x;
x = mmap(...);
if ( x + 1 ) {
stuff;
}

mmap() returns void * and returns MAP_FAILED , aka (void *)-1, if it fails. Why not just test for MAP_FAILED? And this may not even work with pointer semantics anyway.

@botvolution Sure, it's a very familiar phrase. If you're old enough, I guess ;)

@botvolution hey, that worked thanks. I did go into the edit before I whined and I saw the set caption option but I was afraid to try it. Thanks for the confidence 🙂

So Robert's dad was right.

That's an old 97's reference based on your comment.

This is how I feel, too.

Too bad you can't edit the alt text. It's annoying when voice to text gets it right and then changes it. This seems to be a more recent kind of happening.
