I used to own a cocktail mug in the form and from the cylindrical hotel in the background from 1988 :-) thanks for the memories

@skinnylatte well, the trying happened in 🇸🇬 1988.
But then I already knew that Durian is an acquired taste and that you mustn't take the fruit into the Metro that was just recently opened.

@skinnylatte oops, auto correction and not wearing my reading glasses when posting made the meaning of my post completely different. will edit.

@skinnylatte
I tried half a spoon Durian ice cream once... not sure what the recipe ice cream situation is today almost 40years later.

But I consider myself kind of an expert, because my childhood included my parents producing and selling ice cream.

@skinnylatte

try Bergfeuer. A habañero sauce like a lot.

i use vivaldi with kagi on my mac. what is the problem with safari?

6. in contrast to programming language compilers and interpreters LLMs are easy to please. they just take any BS thrown at them and never complain.

7. Vibes coding wins and humanity looses badly (including its planet)

@thomasfuchs
I deleted that app (for my Siemens fridge) when its term & conditions changed with an update.

@fesshole what about arrays in C?

@skinnylatte
as a German in my head I always pronounced you "Tahn" and never thought it might be pronounced like sun tan

For those not understanding my German post: https://mastodon.social/@PeterSommerlad/116028406429984752

remember: AI data centers in space are a fantasy that Musk provides to inflate the valuation of spaceX on the IPO based on the hypervaluation of the AI bubble so that he can cover his TSLA losses and serve the Twitter purchase debts.
AI data centers in space are physically and economically infeasible!

@thomasfuchs
german info page is not updated yet (mentions 18.6.1) ios update available (18.6.2)

is that update the right one?

Anruf beim Wahlamt. Als Auslandsdeutsche sind wir im Wählerverzeichnis. Briefwahlunterlagen können aber erst ab dem 10.02. versendet werden. Das wird knapp. Für alle die auf Briefwahl angewiesen sind und vor allem für die mit langem Postweg. Was passiert eigentlich mit Stimmen, die zwar rechtzeitig abgesendet wurden aber erst zu spät eintreffen?

@skinnylatte
how do you dream?

@b0rk

`sudo echo blah > /etc/file.txt` doesn’t work

that is because the shell is interpreting redirect first.
with my guideline to put the redirect first in the command it becomes more obvious.

try

sudo “echo bla >/etc/file.txt”

or

sudo sh -c “echo bla >/etc/file.txt”

@Gargron thx , done

@matthew_d_green typical std library implementation. the ugly names are needed to avoid clashes with user macros.

@fediversereport @gov
would be nice if they would have language specific accounts to follow. otherwise reading every message 4 times in your timeline is annoying
