this is a good datasheet

becoming a youtuber solely so companies will send me expensive tools for free

I have completed the Large Shelf Array and my partner has populated it with cat drawings

@enoch_exe_inc @lanodan quicksandsort (for each element, if element < previous element, remove element and toss it into the nearest quicksand)

cursed things I have typed on autopilot: #!DOCTYPE HTML

@lain there once was a shape called AT
but it's now quite old, you'll agree
so it was extended,
embiggened, amended,
and prefixed with EEEE.

@engarneering @billyjoebowers even the expansion of that one ("GNU's not Unix") is ridiculous

the defining feature of our thing is that it isn't quite the thing you wanted. we tried our best though

the reason I was looking at motherboard form factors is because I'm sending off a motherboard I'm not using to a friend and he'll need to find his own case for it

it's not even EATX, it turns out, it's EE-ATX

Enhanced Extended Advanced Technology Extended

there was once a motherboard form factor called AT, "Advanced Technology"

then it got replaced with ATX, "Advanced Technology Extended"

then that wasn't big enough for some motherboards and so there's also EATX, "Extended Advanced Technology Extended"

computer people are so good at naming things

@lanodan I mean, yes, I assumed that just meant I was Not The Target Audience

I categorically do not understand perfume ads on TV

You physically cannot show the thing you're trying to sell, you're just showing various attractive people and then a brand name, that's lazy even for the marketing industry

adhd is when you post a cat picture then immediately forget having done so then scroll up and go "hey that cat and also its surroundings look oddly similar to this one I have near me irl" and then suddenly cat to the face

that last part isn't an adhd thing, just a Deacon thing

okay, I am now using https://code.guido-berhoerster.org/addons/firefox-addons/feed-preview/, adding a ninth extension to my set of things I only have installed because the modern web is trash

there are several others like it out there, many of which I tried and thought were broken before I realized why they couldn't find any feeds

okay what the fuck

since I posted this the <link> tag has outright disappeared from the html github serves

am I being A/B tested

@lanodan but yes that's what I mean. the technology is mostly still there! but the thing that tells you it's there is gone and that's weird and annoying

@lanodan I mean, "grumpily run firefox 2" is also an option, but that seems even harder

TIL github has atom feeds for releases of things, e.g. https://github.com/haileys/tangara-companion/releases.atom

I have no idea how you're supposed to find feeds without thinking "I wonder if there's a feed for this" and doing view source and searching for "rss" or "atom" in the raw html

@jacqueline @malcircuit one of those companies where the most effective way to get you to do something is to call you out on social media, I see

annual reminder that Elf is not a Christmas movie, it's a really bad Christmas-themed horror movie

"creepy guy with no sense of boundaries keeps following you around while you're trying to live your life, and gets so excited that Satan's coming that he mispronounces it as Santa" is absolutely a generic horror movie plot
