@GrantMeStrength@hachyderm.io I wish that weren't the case, but extroverts do seem to be in the vast majority. That said, the migration to "open office plans" heralded my migration to working from home. ;)

@guffo It's never a good thing when the actual inventor of the tech publicly proclaims "Don't use it! That's not what I was trying to do.". https://www.anildash.com/2021/11/14/i-didnt-invent-nfts-but-we-dont-really-have-any-other-way-to-talk-about-tech/

@molly0xfff The peanut lobby is...peanuts compared to the almond lobby. It's just...nuts!
No, '222' I'm not going to sit through a movie the first time I launch your app. B'bye.

@thomasfuchs Yes. This. If you can't support it, you must open it! I've been using the same super-light (166g) model (on 2nd one now bought used) of pre-paperwhite 6th-gen with actual physical buttons forever.

@GeofCox I honestly don't know if that's the best policy. At least in the U.S. and Finland, token-fare-transit has had the best track record for sustainability and "public good returns"--not so much in Germany. I lived in Dusseldorf for 2 years. Perhaps the economics of French transit rail are different enough that it makes sense.

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca @EricFielding@mastodon.social Or maybe even Zsh to Fish? I've never fully migrated off of Zsh. I still use it for scripting, but now use Fish for all interactive sessions.
I'll add also the notion of "Environment Variables" and environmental inheritance are "very Unix" things. They are an anti-pattern for production, but great for personal UX config.

There should be a tautological shame list for these sorts of social media videos.
I get the new vernacular is to replace "workflow" with "flow" 'cuz all flows do work, but it still feels too truncated.
Not related to recent events, even back in the O.G. days of Bitcoin, I never understood Coinbase's business model. So you want to be a "centralized clearing house" for, by-design, a set of de-centralized currencies??!
Don’t get me wrong, “discount” airlines (much like many such businesses) are a BAD idea. I’ve flown Frontier once—never again. That said, the lack of accounting data in all the “hot takes” says more about the opinion writer than the failure of the business.
Selling a floor lamp with an irreplaceable bulb should be unlawful.
Why are so few tortilla recipes expressed as baking percentages? It's seems like an obvious win.
TIL Radiolab is shilling for BetterHelp?! I know times are tough in public-radio/podcast-land, but I thought you were better than this. Have you not done ANY research on this company?!
From the bat-shit crazy nuclear start-up Fermi to the pet rat named Fermi who just wants all the pets. This hour on Mastodon.
Normalize mailing your friends physical books. Something, something Teh Best social media.
When you show the networked version of a thing, though you have it local, just for the psychic income from confirming the networked version still exists.

Anything remotely like a headset is never going to have consumer adoption due to social (fashion, communication) issues though headsets are just fine for industrial augmented/virtual reality. It's eyeglasses or bust.
It's Seattle/Portland/Düsseldorf weather in Boulder today. Moar coffee. Must. Resist. Nap.
I was this many days old before I learned the sine function has one formal definition expressed by 3 differential equations.
Related to the recent Anthropic "HERMES.md" brouhaha, it's Business 101 to refuse to pay any bill by any vendor whose own public admission is "in error".
FWIW, Chatgpt is definitely "the leader" in legal records research atm. One of those low-duty-cycle tasks that you really want to "get right" whenever you do it.

@MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Um, yeah that's normal due to this thing called hindsight wherein those people (perhaps) know the significance of key events/choices that were made in (their) past. Not related, see Back To the Future.

@JadedBlueEyes@tech.lgbt From repeated personal experience, I'd also add "New Team" as an alternative name to "Default version" and "New CTO" as an alternative name for "Proud version".

@raktheundead@vmst.io @GrantMeStrength@hachyderm.io I have NO IDEA what you could possibly be talking about. ;)
