gcc is short for the “Glasgow C Compiler”

Note to self: the lvcc is the Las Vegas convention center not the Las Vegas C Compiler

@lzg omg

@skinnylatte public safety is an interesting aspect, anecdata means very little, and a lot more factors are a part of it, but I’ve never felt as unsafe anywhere and any time in India as I did 9pm last night, walking home in Berkeley. It was a guy yelling slurs and following me.

@skinnylatte wow that’s some vitriol in comments from people who probably have no plans to travel. Did the article go viral somewhere bad.

@skinnylatte oh that’s a great looking camera!

@skinnylatte your recommendation of K1000 was perfect for me (as someone who had done lots of mirrorless photography but not film). Yeah, I would have struggled if I was new to cameras. Recently found and ordered a Pentax ME super, my main issue with the K1000 is that it is heavy to lug around, especially on hikes,

People can talk about #H1B all they want, but I’m skeptical that anything will change.
No side has any incentive to change the dysfunctional system, the government doesn’t want more immigrants from India, tech loves their control over labor, and many desis who are naturalized are often opposed to any more immigrants.

The only people directly impacted have no say and cannot vote, and in turn are locked in a short-sighted cutthroat hustle culture.

He’s so roumd! #plushtodon

@lzg roumd and cheerful

@lzg hey its the güiro

@lzg kettle sharing time? Mine is retro-futuristic and very festive

@skinnylatte nice! Are there any local scanning resources or coops? Scanning seems to be the most expensive part of film development. I think SFPL has a lab, but with limited hours that are inconvenient

🤘

@lzg omg love the rug

@lzg you can tell I’m currently wearing my “I need another rug” brain

I love software from the good old days so much. Of course the ebook manager has a webserver logic for a niche use case. Why would it not.

I love Calibre. It is from a simpler time in software.
There’s no sign in, no pop up, no subscription. Ugly icons and features everywhere.
Plugins are a zip file that you import.
Cracked the drm with a click and converted them to kindle format with another.
