@Unixbigot@aus.social If you're interested – developing film at home is less hard than many folks seem to think. I don't think it saves me much money, but it's nice to be involved in the process.

@csilverman@mastodon.social It wasn't the guy from Macintosh Basics was it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ScS4OYDfHE
Gosh this takes me back to 1994, on our family's LCII, potentially before I could read.

I'm really enjoying folks getting onboard with Angine de Poitrine. It feels like for some reason (maybe it's the costumes, maybe it's just everyone was ready for some microtonality and shifting meters) folks have got on board with this magically weird music.
Some people are describing it as the anti-AI music. I think it's fair that AI probably wouldn't have created something like this on its own. I love the creativity and pushing of limits. If the response to the grey homogeneity of AI produced slop is this kind of off-the wall creativity, then I'm all for it.
There is something very special about receiving a phishing campaign trying to steal ActiveCampaign credentials which is sent using SendGrid.
Not me adding something to my to-do list just so I can cross it off.

@carnage4life@mas.to Todd's take is wrong because it ignores the accretion of features and strategic choices. You know the old Jeff Goldblum – the question is no longer *could* you build that feature, but *should* you build that feature.

@film_girl Ooft. By the end of it I felt like I was operating on vibes like macro data refinement. 0.0037 though on my Philips monitor with decent P3 gamut.
Somehow my word doc with 959 words and a table has exploded to be 3MB. I am not sure why.
In the name of team cohesion, I set my team homework of watching the “Marge vs the Monorail" Simpsons episode.
Basically I communicate most effectively in Simpsons references and these Gen Z types don't get them.
Just finished 5500 words of position paper. It’s going to need some editing.
Side note: I'm having too much fun thinking about organisational design and software architecture.
Somehow I’ve managed to come this far with out reading Rittel & Webber's "Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning”[1] (ie. "wicked problems”) or Conway's “How do committees invent?” (ie. Conway's Law).
I've had the pleasure of needing to this week, and they're both bangers.

It seems like Constant Contact are aggressively bad at managing phishing on their platform.
Is anyone else seeing an increase in phishing campaigns sent from compromised ActiveCampaign / Mailgun / Constant Contact accounts?
I've seen a bunch of ActiveCampaign phishes attempting to phish for more ActiveCampaign credentials – seems like these are valuable these days.
I guess you get through some spam detection based on all the work these platforms have done on deliverability. One would have thought they'd invest on stopping the spam so they can maintain that deliverability.
That thing when a great song comes on but you have to join a meeting.

@Ryanbigg@ruby.social The auto-loader doesn't even complain? Or is it that just that app/models/* and app/controllers/* just get automagically loaded irrespective of what they include?
