@ptribble@mastodon.social I found out this week that Snowflake don't support Firefox. Pretty shit.

@nikitonsky It's rather pathetic isn't it? You can see how little idea they have of how software works in the wider world.

@arnowi@social.themoto.network "speed is believed to be a contributing factor"... You don't say?

@nixCraft@mastodon.social always had respect for Patrick. I used to always run Slackware (late 90s/early 00s) but it's been a long time. But over systemd though so might be time to give it another whirl

@scy@chaos.social Once worked on a game where Nintendo rejected a release candidate for too much profanity in the source code.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk the vintage port is an inspired choice!
Opened X by mistake, forgot I recently signed in to check for DMs, but was quite astonished to see my feed was almost entirely
a) people I don't follow
b) all posts about how amazing claude is
The first post from someone I actually follow was a link to the article about claude blazing a prod database and all it's backups.
Actually amazed at how bad they made that platform.

@Gammitin@mastodon.social Oh Plop is excellent! I use it to dual boot DOS and Win95 on the same machine.

@RonsCompVids@bitbang.social I said something to my dog about a sausage this morning, and then found myself repeating the whole start of this intro. Was not expecting it to enter my life a second time today.

@ThreeOhFour Remember starting a meeting once and a huntsman ran out from behind my book case right by my head. Buggers always know how to make you jump
Replying to
@ThreeOhFour I was thinking "Doesn't count if it's on a screen"... and then I realised the Huntsman is ON on the screen, not just on the screen.
I know they work totally differently today than they did 25 years ago, but the speed of virtual machines still astounds me.

@cloudhop@equestria.social The number of times in 30+ years my development speed has been constrained by the speed of my fingers: 0.

@mahryekuh Ooh, I'm sorry to hear that! I always say comments are for the "why". My biggest troubles are from a junior who doggedly follows clean code principles even when it makes no sense. I don't refactor or change his code for the sake of it if it works, but often it's far harder to grok and work with.
@scruss One of my favourite things to watch being generated.
For those who've not heard it, the new Bluetones album, Atlas, is great. Been a long time coming but totally worth it.
Kacey Musgraves' Dry Spell gets me every time. "Ain't nobody but the chickens getting laid"
Any recommendations for B1/B2 level French books? Ideally sci-fi or similar. Found a bunch of "Victor Ironcrusher" ones on Amazon before and enjoyed them, though unsure as to whether they're AI generated or not (seems that way). They are enjoyable though and accessible.
Lots of advice is to always read comics and the like, and I love Asterix, but I find them harder to read.
Replying to on mastodon.sprawl.club
@ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club mate of mine was interviewing someone who'd inadvertently shared the wrong screen. He watched him type into it right at the start and said "you know I can see that right? I think we're done here"
Replying to
@hurt138@mastodon.social @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social it sounds like they just have a good level of respect for the original, which is obvious from the love they pour into OpenTTD. They're both excellent games and both worth playing separately

@i0null@infosec.exchange I love how the second duck is all like "shit, gotta get my feet out and stop" and then switches to "ah whatever, I'll just go with it" and has zero fucks to give when it realises it's about to hit another one.
Mate of mine released this demo on the weekend. I've always liked TD games, but this one is really quite different, and somehow I sunk over 5 hours into it over the weekend! Keen to play more tonight too :)

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online Nice work! I'm complained many times about how so many colour schemes use the lowest constrast they can get away with for comments.

@morrick@appdot.net A friend has had access to the new super threatening Anthropic model. He said it still can't count :)
