I updated all my dependencies and typed `npm install` just so I could feel *something*.

mastodon 4.7.3I'm a Vue programmer most recently, but I've gone through many languages over the years.
I maintain the open source project https://abcjs.net which displays sheet music in SVG.
My day job is https://sightreadingfactory.com which teaches people how to read sheet music.
One of my passions is playing Trad Jazz and traditional dance music of various genres - old-time, Cajun, Klezmer, and western swing.
The most active band I'm in is https://zuzushotfive.com
I'm here to learn and laugh.

We were telling a younger bandmate about our old band and he said, "Oh, yeah, I've heard your CD a bunch. It was one of my mom's favorites!"
Is that good? I think that's good?
I think the problem isn't just the number of computers passing the Turing test, it is the growing number of people who CAN'T pass it.
It turns out my therapist is just repeating the same two questions over and over:
"How do you feel?"
"Did you tell her that?"
It kind of feels like "this session could have been a notecard".

@artnacrea@mastodon.ie Thanks! Sorry for the delay. I finally got a free moment to start research after a crazy week.
It looks like it probably works but I need to make sure that it is compatible with my ISP, too. For whatever reason my old router wasn't and I never got a clear answer why not.
For $90 I guess it could be worth a shot, but I do have a fear that it will also be multiple hours of my time, too.
Ugh. My ISP just announced that they were "upgrading" and that would require me to get a new router. And the new router is Amazon's EERO and it requires that I download an app and create an Amazon account to set it up. And if I don't then they turn off the internet next week.
So, what are the alternatives for routers? I otherwise like my ISP and I'm guessing another one would have the same situation.
Their tech support was a little helpful and said "Some other alternatives for routers that are locally managed Asus, TP-Link, or Ubiquiti" but I'm not sure what the pros and cons of those are.
Am I right to be paranoid about getting Amazon involved in all my network traffic?

@cmconseils@mastodon.social I was there. I'm nostalgic for it - Nixon's crimes are only about a week's worth of this year's crimes. And there was only one useless war. And there were intrepid WaPo reporters ON IT. And we only read the news once a day.
Does anyone know anything about the group called Oath.vote? They supposedly use data to figure out the most impactful US political races to contribute to.
When I start a new branch I usually do a `npm outdated` and update dependencies. Now, I'm about to do that but I'm a bit scared. How do I know there isn't a supply chain attack right now?
Computers used to be a great tool
Now they are a big tool
I'm always changing song lyrics to be about my dog when we're on a walk. And coming up with euphemisms. The other day I came home and said the dog did "a full Lawrence Welk"... You know, "a one and a two"?
I got a notice from Instagram that an account I kind of forgot I had was "suspended because it violated the terms of service". I logged in and it said it needed my birthday. It was a great opportunity to delete my account.
