Hey you thinker, here are some thoughts for you to ponder. STOP trying! We are preprogrammed not to trust anything that doesn’t look, feel, or smell like us. The more someone looks like us, and talks like us, the more trustworthy they appear to us. The second we meet someone we judge them. We judge […] ⌘ Read more
When I read this I see a a niche, super premium hardware company that managed to acquire tens of thousands of customers by word of mouth. Not only that, their customers are all in-effect self employed or small businesses with huge average revenue per employee. They manage global supply chains, intense competition, all while taking on and managing huge legal/compliance risk. How is is that supposedly “dumb,” criminals can do this, and yet many of us are stretching our intellectual capacities to learn new technologies and maths, developing our nth stupid app, trying to achieve a fraction of the customer traction and revenue that street thugs manage to do every day. Are these people much smarter than average, or does it mean that if you sell something people actually want, literally nothing else matters about your intelligence, education, character, background, or anything at all. When I read these drug stories, it just reinforces for me that growth solves everything. You can succeed with a crew of violent, drug addicted idiots whose only reliable characteristic is short term thinking, and who spend half their time in prison if you have product market fit. What I’m beginning to think is that the “smarter,” people are in a company, the less anyone will want their product. It’s like the success of a venture is inversely proportional to the number of ostensible geniuses it employs. reply How Police Secretly Took over a Global Phone Network for Organized Crime | Hacker News
I want to like https://amp.rs/, but both its color schemes look horribad on a 256-color terminal (the most Terminal.app supports). The only terminal I have installed that supports lots of colors is…Visual Studio Code.

Surprise of the day: the “you sent an e-mail” sound in Outlook for iOS really benefits from a decent amount of stereo separation. Kind of a pity that its separatedness will kind of be like an easter egg.
One reason why the world is in a mess is because, for a long time, the ratio between ‘explore’ and ‘exploit’ has been badly out of whack. Entities like procurement have been allowed to claim full credit for money-grabbing cost-savings without commensurate responsibility for delayed or hidden costs.

Well, it was not a proper fix, more like a duck-tape mend, the right thing to do is to add a BSD branch and fix the calls to BSD’s awk and fmt so they produce the data in the way the rest of the code expects it. #txtnish #gnu #bsd

I like the clean and simple design choice. Easy to read and not distracting. Good!
Why is programming fun? What delights may its practitioner expect as his reward? First is the sheer joy of making things. As the child delights in his mud pie, so the adult enjoys building things, especially things of his own design. I think this delight must be an image of God’s delight in making things, a delight shown in the distinctness and newness of each leaf and each snowflake. Second is the pleasure of making things that are useful to other people. Deep within, we want others to use our work and to find it helpful. In this respect the programming system is not essentially different from the child’s first clay pencil holder “for Daddy’s office.” Third is the fascination of fashioning complex puzzle-like objects of interlocking moving parts and watching them work in subtle cycles, playing out the consequences of principles built in from the beginning. The programmed computer has all the fascination of the pinball machine or the jukebox mechanism, carried to the ultimate. Fourth is the joy of always learning, which springs from the nonrepeating nature of the task. In one way or another the problem is ever new, and its solver learns something: sometimes practical, sometimes theoretical, and sometimes both. Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly re- moved from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. (As we shall see later, this very tractability has its own problems.)

I could do, but I don’t like email signatures on my private emails.
@kas@enotty.dk Hmm, I don’t really like that they also recommend Threema for messaging as this is also a closed source silo. 🤔
Tonight’s burps taste like raspberries.
Massive piles of implementation bugs notwithstanding, See (on Apple TV+) is pretty neat if you’re into worldbuilding like I am.
I really like my bujo. I still using it since the moment I said it here, and it’s just really good for what I needed :) Thanks again @lucidiot@tilde.town
One week after I set up my first mail server I’m done with the polishing and it looks like it’s pretty state-of-the-art: https://mecsa.jrc.ec.europa.eu/en/finderRequest/0ff350307d4c4170d17be9118ad7c2e8 😃
I sniffed my hand after washing it and it smelled like crème brûlée.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Sounds like yet another reason to never buy a smart TV, or at least to never depend on any functionality that requires it to be connected to the Internet.
My text editor failed to autocomplete like it usually does and now I’m left wondering if I introduced a syntax error or something that it can’t cope with.
@kas@enotty.dk Will try some other time. I realized the new neomutt doesn’t like my config and I am not in the mood to debug this I’m back to the one in debian/testing.
@kas@enotty.dk I like your gopher server’s formatting, nice and clean and how did you implement the TLS certificate?
twtxt feels a little like launching simple digital bottle notes into the vast oceans of the Internet
Anyone still using Skype actually? Seems like the service completely lost to WhatsApp.
@frogor@www.frogorbits.com compared to the Iphone 7. XR might be more powerful but it’s clumsy to hold as big and heavy. Does not feel like a phone at all.
I feel like I only scratched the surface of what Vim really is capable off.
@johanbove@johanbove.info a random question from someone who’s used Gopher clients a little bit recently but doesn’t quite understand all the memes: Why are numbered directories like “/0/” common on Gopher holes (but not websites)?
@kas@enotty.dk doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I suppose I should do that one day too eventually, but I haven’t livetweeted enough Apple events to bloat my file to where I’d want to bother.
finally hacked ijanet up to behave like the scheme REPL. very excited about this!

Woohoo, sent Färjestad Karlstad home with a 2-1 so München is already qualified for the knockouts. 😃 It’s always like winning a trophy when a german team beats a Swedish team. #CHL

gameboy color speaker replaced using ds lite speaker. sounds quieter than I expected. but better than no sound at all. this, combined with the new case I got for it, makes it almost feel like a brand new device :)
rx pixel editor looks seen on HN today looks interesting to me (and the sort of thing I’ve wanted to build), but the vulkan support seems like overkill. Also, my graphics cards drivers are broken on Alpine, so the program probably won’t run. trying anyways.
@kas@enotty.dk It looks like the message is f***ed up by the #xmpp library I am using and not by my code. :-/
@kas@enotty.dk Indeed, it looks like my bot is doing something wrong. I just wonder why as I didn’t have problems with special characters or even emoji before…
@kas@enotty.dk I don’t know. I will check what txtnish output in the terminal looks like. Right now I only access #twtxt via my #xmpp bot.

WebP is kind of disappointing. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, but because I tend to not really need it, even though I’d like to use it.
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com Looks nice. But it supports strange things like telegram, hipchat and so on but not the standard #xmpp 😡
@ckipp@chronica.xyz @neauoire@wiki.xxiivv.com Glad you like my little experiment! I’m tweaking it daily, I’ll try to release the code properly once it’s clean enough.
@mox@tilde.town I am also using #i3 for some month and really like it. Also I switched to TUI/CLI programs for some tasks: https://blog.mdosch.de/2019/06/06/tui-programme/ (#German). It’s a lot more efficient when you don’t have to change between keyboard and mouse/touchpad so often.

I totally prefer #XMPP over #IRC. I like it being federated and with #Conversations you have a good mobile client, also you don’t need to setup a bouncer.

Hot take: language is like sculpture, in that each word acts as a constraint that cleaves off parts of the infinite space of possible meaning.
OK I can’t fault the DomeKano anime for dropping a younger girl who looks almost exactly like Hina & is tsundere from a scene that would be in the last episode but if she doesn’t become a repeat character I will be shocked
The most unrealistic part of Super Dimension Fortress Macross is the way that the translated ancient pop song could be broadcast on the radio. All the ancient sumerian pop songs are shit like ‘let’s cover each other in honey and lick it off’
People whose dating profile consists entirely of their nationality are incomprehensible to me, but not quite as incomprehensible as the ones that are blank or have some useless placeholder like ‘ask’. The point of a dating site is that you get to see compatibility before starting a convo, y’know
Reading the DomeKano manga, I keep running into stuff where it’s like, I don’t remember them happening in the anime but they must have, but at the same time I would have thought I would have remembered them. Maybe the constant bombshells produced twist fatigue.

“You like horror movies, huh? What are your favorite genres?” “Well, mostly gothic & art deco, but Burnt Offerings was a fantastic greek revival flick”
OK so one thing I don’t like about the DomeKano manga is the way the plaid bottoms in their school uniform are so clearly done with a single sheet of overlay per frame (or maybe even per page). It’s distracting, the way they don’t match the fabric folds.
