@nikitonsky I pray I never encounter this lol. I visualize accepting I need to make a global variable as having the same energy as, like, an idealistic politician realizing they need to jettison their values once acquiring power or something

Why does Hugo have such bad commitment to backwards compatibility? Every six months I have to replace some random set of deprecated parameters. Today:

- .Site.Author -> .Site.Params.Author
- .Site.IsMultiLingual -> .hugo.IsMultilingual
- .Site.LastChange -> .Site.Lastmod (really?)

Like what feature or development was being held back by the existence of these old parameters? What a waste of time. Static site generators should not be causing this much grievance.

Remember in Childhood’s End when the benevolent alien overlords’ only intercession in human affairs was to protect the white farmers in South Africa. Joining the war on apartheid on the side of apartheid lmfaoo thank you 1950s British sci fi author Arthur C. Clarke for taking us with you to the soaring heights of your humanistic imagination

@paninid not much IQ can do about having zero traction, this is why cities salt & sand so roads don’t do the melt/freeze thing

Spent Saturday afternoon helping paint bike lane barriers slated to be placed in midtown! They're also doing volunteer days tomorrow and the next two weekends, so check it out if you're in the area.

Update on this: the bike barriers were installed and we used them to safely bike to a restaurant this weekend! There were four barrier art variants that were envisioned to be installed in a 1-2-3-4 order so their designs would flow into each other. Sadly that absolutely was not done by the installation crew lmao but oh well, they still look nice.

@jpaskaruk @report_press ??? did you mean to reply to somebody else

Most of Atlanta has been without water for 24 hours now, quote "no timeline for fix" - if this happened during a heat wave people would die! Thankfully we're in a period of cooler weather. Got a couple gallons of water + hand sanitizer from the store early yesterday so I'm doing all right.
