@emilygorcenski favs this in industrial blow torch at 7 am

Tonight’s German lesson for English speakers:

(to do sth with) belts and suspenders: Doppeltgemoppelt. ✌️

@thomasfuchs love the idea that somehow there is no abuse in comments from people who have been on the internet since before there was the web.

@emilygorcenski ta. Plex has been too much of an annoyance since they started forcing you to sign up with their cloud service even if you just run it locally. Thank glob Infuse can read SMB shares, but that’s a different story!

@emilygorcenski how?

@emilygorcenski 🙈 — can you at least blame a MM/DD vs. DD/MM date format fuckup?

@mattly they are now optimising for showing you something rather than showing you the right thing.

Probably A/B teeter “engagement” and found that people klick less on links if there are no links.

@thomasfuchs regular Intel is their original platform old Intel CPUs shared between tenants, slightly oversubscribed, but fine and cheap: premium amd/Intel: newer CPUs slightly less oversubscribed, but fine. First choice for anything starting to become serious.

@thomasfuchs I’m using em dashes in German, so they exist in German. ✌️

@emilygorcenski …in the US typographic convention. :) I space my em dashes as per local colour.

@mattly it’s not that hard ;D

current conundrum: buy fair trade / organic / sustainable underwear that lasts me ~12 months or buy other random shit that lasts much longer.

What are you choosing and what are your experiences? (Online shops only).

@mattly so angry.

Hate to be agreeing with dh-h, but JS is fun and TS is a chore. Sure you can build more reliable software with TS, but few languages beat JS at that most enjoyable malleable exploratory stage where you mostly just write down what’s in your head, then find patterns of abstraction and reshuffle things until you have a proper software. *Then* you can sprinkle types on top.

@thomasfuchs that’s actually how Marmite is made.

@vaurora “signed copy” really got me

With rising racism in Europe and record inflation in the 2020s, the new (very conservative) Berlin city government wants to bring the Olympic Games here. For 2036. No notes.
