@AkaSci@fosstodon.org Would being hit by a big wave have the same impact on Titan?
Im thinking different gravity and liquid , but have no mental model for inertia. if waves form easily that implies less inertia per wave. That would be a function of the ""gravity well"?

My focus is on the use of the features,
If you think you are "scaling the FE" all the time, the changes just focused on the code and mostly ignoring people.
Smol voice: what is "Authenticity" in english prose?
I've been following what some authority said my entire life.
My grammar and readability is less bad than at 18, but I think I am authenticity not great at english.

"#cyber", "#cybersecurity" to web people, is there a valid use-case for any of:
GET /@fs/ . . .
GET /var/www/ . . .
GET /aws/ . . . .
GET /.aws-credentials/ . . . .
URLs?
I think some JS test tools use /@fs/ (storybook?), but looking at the URLS some bot attempted, that is not for production.
Regression-test: I find it weird that "webdev people" suddenly started talking about #featureFlags in 2015. (or so). Or maybe talking about them were I could hear.
I know there are annual "add this topic as new" lectures/ training events, for people with less experience.
But on this detail, how did I not notice them in 2012-2014 if the feature-flag topic was annual?
Older Linux/ unix tools have been using feature-flags since 1960 or some thing. Vim is a clear example.
#TIL about the" cite" field on some github repos.
This is useful for making attribution lists.

[In the UK] Why are supermarket vendors printing "not in EU" labels on goods in EN? Surely it should be printed in FR or DE (etc).
Maybe an 'EU' in a slashed circle, and avoid the prose...
So the EU Burgers know they can buy or not (I have no umlaut).
UK, London, #leSigh The lizabet line is, what, 4 or 5 YO now? The first time i rode it, there was no wobble. Today it wobbles/ sways in some patches (like DLR).
This is quite fast ageing, compared to build time or build cost.
It might not wobble in winter.
Does anyone know why consumer medical gadgets count paces rather than km?
Healthy and active people should be moving quite a few km/d with no drama or stress.
Quite a few people average at 5k PACES, that is just a few km, nothing much.

Yes there is a historic no-tables-edict, but that was for layout not tabular data.

I'm always confused how the US confuses "stats" and "insight".
Classic WWII example (when stats was still a hand-work activity):
stats: returning planes with damage tend to have holes in these areas, X, Y, Z
insight: ....the planes that came back...you overlooked he 20% missing planes

@AkaSci@fosstodon.org I apologise if I am now spamming,
[on earth] I think a tonne of tar expresses more inertia as more viscus, than a tonne of water, so a wave in tar would hurt more if it hits you.

I, ... am very curious to know the process by which VScode translates "Std" into "stupid".
Note lower case 'S'. This codebase only uses the token "stupid" in one comment, not related to current typing.
if [MSFT owned] VScode is reading my *chat* service logs, they are breaking a lot of expectations.
MSword has much better guess algorithms, and I think is owned by MSFT.
Its a shame the European Alternatives account seems unfunded / closed / they fired that intern.
#random could someone explain to me why marketing people think that a video of some guy holding a piece of clothing is better than a static image? I don't find random middle aged people with beards that exciting.
For a 10s clip, 40% of the time wasn't focused on the clothing for sale. It was a static cam, maybe a phone.
This "solution" feels like #WAP.
Modern linux: I installed a text editor
(via snap)
It complains it can't do stuff in the firmware and doesn't finish loading.
...
sorry what?
This isn't ms-DOS. Why would a user-land text editor need to do anything to the firmware?
Replying to
@vicash@fosstodon.org The errors are after snap has finished.
I am running ubuntu 24 LTS.
Why do text editors try to read or adjust firmware?

EDIT: TIL, I think that using shutdown -r now doesn't count for rebooting in modern ubuntu. #leSigh.
It thought i hadn't rebooted in over a year, as i didn't use a GUI button, or an actual power button to reboot.
