@Rasp i’ll check it out. Thanks. I hadn’t heard of it before.

Was chatting with wifey this morning about how I loved the idea of "Saturday Morning Cartoons" but by the time I was watching them Bugs Bunny was pretty "long in the ear" (pun intended) and being replaced with more monetizable things like Transformers and Thundercats & He-Man (boys beating things up). The girls offerings weren't so violent but weren't great either Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears were too saccharine sweet for me.

1/2

Wise wifey suggested that I could start my own tradition of Saturday Morning Cartoons but with #Anime instead.

She is, of course, brilliant. I'm just not sure which ones to watch.

Obviously #Yuri stuff would be good, but I'm thinking Frieren, Delicious in Dungeon, and…

What else? I need quality #anime suggestions. Character focused stuff. Nothing too dark. Ex. Serial Experiments Lain was amazing BUT i don't need that kind of stuff now.

@mattly gotcha. Sorry i missed that

@mattly and because toxic masculinity doesn't let us dress young boys in dresses with easy access to clean the lower half anymore.

@gregdosh @inthehands @hrefna I am SO tired of arguing with "expert" programmers that think that because when _they_ read code everything is "obvious", that they spout the stupid "code should be self documenting" line. They never seem to "get" the things you said.

@dachary's a programmer/tech writer and her super-power is being able to put herself in the shoes of a reader who doesn't know anything and giving them the tools they need to succeed.

@inthehands @hrefna agreed, but i think there is an important aspect it’s missing. It should be obvious to juniors and new hires with no institutional knowledge.

To often we write code that is obvious to people who’ve been there for years but may as well be a paragraph of random jargon terms to an experienced new hire without the context

THIS. So Much this.

This is what I am constantly trying to teach younger devs.

The best code is the most stupid-simple solution to the problem that runs in acceptable time.

The new intern fresh out of boot camp, with no understanding of the context should be able understand what it's doing.

@mcc For other folks like me who don't know what the Stern-Gerlach experiment was / is.

Older geeks:
What happened to shareware? I feel like it died _before_ app stores but i don’t know _why_.

Anyone know what happened?

Am i wrong about the timing? Did app stores kill shareware?

Dear trans 🏳️⚧️ ladies:
You are more beautiful than you realize.

Dear trans 🏳️⚧️ guys:
You are handsome as fuck.

Dear enby folks:
You are the beautifully handsome chaos this world needs right now.

All of you:
Thank you for sharing yourselves and reminding the rest of us that we’re not alone.

Buster is a browser extension that solves captchas for you.

It leverages the fact that blind people should be allowed to use the web too.

https://github.com/dessant/buster

I love this for 2 reasons:

1. Fuck Captchas
2. Fuck Captcha Companies getting free labor from people to train AI.

I hate this because i fear if it catches on this will negatively impact blind people's ability to use the web.

See also points 1 & 2 re EVERYONE.

@aral yeah. Like everything else AI it LOOKS like it could be useful, but it's ultimately just making everything worse.

Ok, maybe that's giving too much credit to AI people. The INITIAL stuff looked useful, now so much of it is "but why would anyone want that?!"

just cancelled my GitHub copilot subscription.

The straw that broke the camel's back was creating yet another variable named that looked right, but was subtly wrong and broke things.

If i have to fucking proofreed and double check the name of every variable and environment key you generate... just ARGH no. fuck this. Too much time wasted cleaning up for copilot's stupidity.

@babe I've never undertood the FOSSbro thinking that you're some sort of hypocrite if you complain about something but don't pitch in to fix it.

A carpenter can reasonably complain about a badly constructed stone wall, but that doesn't mean they have the knowledge, skills, or materials (time in the OSS case) to fix it.

So many FOSSbros don't get that.

Tell me you're a self-centered fuck who doesn't give two shits about other people's struggles without telling me...

#accessibility

@ruin it sounds like you’re using sarcasm to try and defend their decision. Having limited human resources is NEVER an acceptable reason to explicitly remove accessibility accommodations or to explicitly avoid including them.

It is ONLY an excuse for why you haven’t gotten around to it.
