@neil There is exactly one person who gets to decide what happens in my computer. Me.

If you want to run things in my world, you play by my rules and only my rules.

Wait Shit. Am I'm turning in to a conservative, I want things to remain how they were twenty years ago... Is this is what they meant about getting more conservative when you get older?

@aadeacon But I do currently control my computer, and I want to retain that control... I do not want someone else to take away the control I already have over my things

Fun view up an electricity pilon yesterday with the clouds in the background. Feels a bit like a quilt pattern.

Well this morning is going well. Come out of my sons guitar lesson to find my car with a completely flat tire.

At least the lesson is in a place that serves coffee

Minor fun that the tire pressure sensor didn't go off, just an odd sound as I tried to pull away.

AA guy patched the tire, almost an optimisation problem. The smallest possible screw that still just made it through the wall. A thousand miles less on this tire and it would have been fine.

@DebErupts looks at next door neighbours ring doorbell and then at the CIA... Yeah... Don't even need the government to build it if you can persuade people to spend their own money on them.

@soatok "security issue with calendar element: If user clicks wrong thing while scheduling a disclosure other security issues are released early"

@killyourfm 40 years later I'm not going to hold my breath. I dearly hope they live to see the day their music is not relevant.

As stupid shit posts of a repo goes this might be the best I've made in a long time.

Presenting the Self Deleting Repo.

When opened in vs code or zed it immediately deletes its self. (at least if you have the rust plug in installed)

I've also added agent instructions that might make the agent delete it but I don't have any of the ai tools installed to see if that part actually works.

@0xabad1dea wonder how much validation they put on that... if that tasks.json includes a command to delete the current directory?

@0xabad1dea oh no...

@mcc @cwebber did you work at apple back then? Are you the reason for thr different scrolling?

😂

Fuck abolishing dst. Lets choose chaos. 12 dst changed in a year. Every month moves forward or back by an hour, but not consistently, some months we are UTC+2 some we are UTC-2

Why stop at 12, lets have 52, one a week really fuck with our stupid biological body clocks.

bonus points if its the direction of the hourly shift is chosen by coin flip the evening before the change.

Lets give the people running the timezone database a work out.

@saraislet the ticking of an old geiger counter

The thing about this "ID cards will prevent people working who aren't allowed to" thing is every job i've ever had one of the first orders of business when I started was to show my passport to prove I was allowed to work in this country.

We already have this rule.

People who aren't enforcing it aren't going to start just because everyone has a new shiny ID app on their phone.

I wonder what the corruption index is going to look like this year.

@hellomiakoda The Italians built a special espresso maker for the ISS, unfortunately it was removed in 2017 :(

Any of you wonderful folk happen to be looking for a head of engineering role?

Work is looking at the moment. You'll need to be in the office in London (UK) 5 minutes from Farringdon tube station, 3 days a week. Wonderfully diverse team of excellent engineers (if I do say so myself) and a company mission that can make a difference.

You'd get to work with me, which I'll leave up to you if it's a pro or con 😂
