Wow, i’ve never seen a queue at the early voting venue.

Anyway, I voted :)

Need to search for text in several PDF's at once (like you can in macOS' Finder/Spotlight, but without needing macOS)?

pdfgrep has you covered

This is a blessing for finding stuff in lecture slides.

I have four Pico 2 microcontrollers that I bought accidentally (I needed Pico 1 instead) and no project to use them for.

I’m open to suggestions.

Off to the gym so that when I eventually have to punch a fascist, i’ll do more damage.

I also do cardio so I can avoid that situation as long as possible. But let’s be honest, it really is “when” and not “if”.

My three-month fitness retrospective became a piece of over 6000 words about everything I learned in the process, from theory to actually building a personalized workout program that’s sustainable, safe, and fun.

I hope this can motivate other people too and help clear a path through the often confusing and daunting amount of information out there.

Here's a longer clip of Musk doing the Hitler salute TWICE at Trump's inauguration.

A sustainable future will probably not have next-day delivery for most things.

Get used to that idea, so you're not going to stand in the way of getting there.

This is my main gripe with the "individual change doesn't matter against systemic issues" crowd:

People who build their lives on the conveniences of hyper-capitalism will not support policies that require those conveniences to be diminished.

But those policies are going to be necessary.

“the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music”

These tech bros really are the dullest, most boring people imaginable.

Most embarrassing "AI" use I've seen in person:

Guy doing a presentation in a seminar, his slides are clearly LLM generated and he has no idea what's actually on them.

Stop using Telegram for organizing!

(and for anything else too)

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume?

Me: See, there’s this thing called the Planck Length, which is hypothesized to be a lower boundary of the distances that can be physically resolved at all.

Another achievement today:

5K under 30min, no intervals, just running through the whole thing.

I started on 400m/400m work/recovery intervals about 10 weeks ago and gradually shifted the balance towards longer work intervals until I could run all the way through.

A lot of people on here still seem to operate on the assumption that others, especially women, are utterly incompetent at everything.

That's the way of thinking that leads to posting the most basic suggestions and advice at people who clearly don't need (or want) to be lectured on basics.

It's insufferable. Do y'all do that offline too? If yes, how do you manage not to get punched on a regular basis?

This is the main reason I spend more time on BlueSky btw, despite all the problems over there

So, Bluesky just announced that targeted harassment is fine as long as you do the organizing for it on a Discord or somewhere else that’s not Bluesky, which most organized harassers are already doing.

@skinnylatte i’m still looking for a good one that not just vinegar water but also not the “2-3 drops per large pot of soup” nuclear option that I already have, and also not sriracha because something specifically in that makes my body very unhappy

Done some studio work today!
