My special interests are:
* Music (piano, clarinet, cello, vocals)
* Programming (Python, Rust)
* Teaching (I like to infodump)
Opinions are my own or are sometimes satirical, and do not represent anyone I work for or with.
Is it still bi if I only like women and men who are likely to transition into women?

Excellent news: I am now on a competitive Splatoon team!
Latest #NixOS infuriating moment: Canonical's Git server is down and that means I cannot update because some random package fetches source from freaking Canonical for some reason, and is listed as unfree (despite Canonical listing it as GPL) so it isn't cached.
You don't need to be an artist to create #art. I threw together this line drawing in literally 10 minutes using entirely free software. My "ferocious" #dog Sally enjoys trying to bite at flies, and so I wanted to turn a photo of her doing so into a drawing, mostly to prove a point to a stranger on the internet who said they needed 🤮AI🤮 to do it for them

Did you know: dingbats are often used to create dinkuses?

AI hasn't just ruined my appreciation of negative parallelism, it has made it so that my stomach churns whenever I am forced to read one.

The fact that my personal website and homelab, running on a crappy old laptop in my living room, is more reliable than GitHub is insane to me.
My battle against Slack's autostart shennanegins is finally won!
The problem:
I set Slack to auto-start on my system, which works once. When Slack starts, it then deletes the autostart file, and tries to simlink it to `/usr/share/applications/slack.desktop`, a file that does not exist on NixOS. If I disable the autostart option in Slack's settings, it will instead remove its entry from the autostart directory on startup. Either way, it autostarts once, then breaks itself.
The solution:
I fixed its autostart script, and then chowned it to be owned by root. It can't overwrite it now. And the only downside is a few extra lines in their error logs!
Waow

My favourite April fool's joke today was how Anthropic has been telling us they wouldn't open-source Claude Code for months, and then they open-sourced it by accident.
Being opinionated is only ok if your opinions are correct (I am the arbiter of correctness of opinions)
I'm an independent thinker. (My thoughts are so independent that they are straight up wrong)
Happy April fool's! I edited the website for the UNSW Linux society: https://windowsunsw.org/
Ok so a bit of a theory here:
Is Splatoon raiders a metaphor for colonialism?
* We're going and invading their homeland to get treasure
* We're doing "research" on the salmonids and their behaviour, as well as the artifacts that we seem to be stealing from them
* But the descriptions of the artifacts are pretty consistently wrong most of the time, and every time we find a new piece, the description changed dramatically.
* Therefore, what if our final descriptions of them are wrong too and we don't actually understand the artifacts at all?
* And by extension, what if our understanding of Salmonid culture is also entirely made up bs?
* Canonically, the salmonids "want to be eaten and take steps to make themselves maximally tasty", but given the inaccuracies or our artifacts analysis, this could also be made-up BS to justify our slaying of them.
1/2
@tripplehelix@tech.lgbt give it a go, you might surprise yourself! Art isn't difficult, and it's very fun to make things like this!
