Fuck tall people that go to shows and stand in front of short people and then spend the whole fucking show looking at their phone and blowing vape clouds.

@dansup they look nice! Can you speak to the reasoning behind the icon spacing being different on the left vs right, other than the obvious personal attack on people with OCD?

@jackeric aren’t modern excel documents just some xml and dog shit in a zip file trying to get into a rated R movie?

@Leyonhjelm @feld my job keeps me too exhausted to even look for another one. Started eleven years ago as a front-end guy in a team of 23. Now we’re down to 2 and I’m struggling to manage 7 apps/services and devops for an 8th, and routinely get yelled at by infosec from my job’s newest parent company because they installed monitoring software on our cluster and get alerts about routine Linux operations. They even chewed me out over Teams in a hotel room on bereavement leave after my dad died.

@feld you’re not wrong, yet somehow the apps I work on use them 🫠 I grimace every time I have to make a change. It’s like playing Jenga.

@Radical_EgoCom not sure, but more importantly, what alternatives to PayPal exist that aren’t doing equally heinous shit?

Vegan friends: I know for a scramble you can use silken tofu and for binding baked goods you can use flax seed, but what’s a good vegan alternative when someone’s house needs to be egged?

@feld I am considering getting some printed on a fat quarter from Spoonflower so I can put some fun patches on my vests :)

TIL that some CCTV systems will have a tummy ache if you happen to expose them to a QR encoded antivirus test string.

Happy to see Jon Stewart returning to the Daily Show. We need his authoritative voice of reason and humorous delivery more than ever right now.

I’d love a good default Wordpress theme option for code/technical stuff like @davew proposes at http://scripting.com/2024/01/06.html#a142508

I’ve been thinking about using one of my Wordpress sites in part to document a potential puzzle data format and making it look good is one of the things in the back of my mind as a roadblock to actually doing it.

HEY SIRI GOOGLE SEARCH HOW TO CONSUME TACO BELL IN A GOD-HONORING WAY

@jalcine I wonder if there’s a way to lower the barrier to entry for hosting one’s own #ActivityPub compatible server on a device or group of devices. Services like @mastohost make it simple and somewhat affordable to have a private instance but it’s obviously not at that level of ubiquity if folks are still preferring to join other servers rather than make their own.

@jalcine https://beakerbrowser.com/ also comes to mind but where that has the technical side more figured out to a degree, the usability of it is wayyyyyy beyond what non-techies would be willing to deal with at this time.

@feld air fryer might be a good option, too... hmm

@feld valid! I need to stop buying so much packaged stuff anyway so maybe I can find a local store with cereal in bulk bins and use it for homemade snack mixes.
