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.

@adiabatic Do you use your iPad in a water cooker? 😲
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

All infra teams eventually become platforms. All product teams eventually become experiences. When viewed negatively this is called scope creep.

I believe trauma instills scientific-type knowledge that is factually false but locally adaptive. False beliefs need more protection to be maintained than true beliefs, so the belief both calcifies, making it unresponsive to new information, and lays a bunch of emotional landmines around itself to punish you for getting too close to it. This cascades into punishing you for learning at all, because you might learn something that corrects your false-but-useful model. Emotional Blocks as Obstacles to Learning | Hacker News

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.)

While not disagreeing with your point, it is also worth noting that in some contexts developers are regarded as unemployable if they don’t have experience with whatever the latest technology is so it is hardly surprising that people use every opportunity they can to get exposure to the latest tools.

@von@tilde.town What is session? For chatting I use #XMPP since ~2003 😃
@sarmonsiill@twtxt.ti-l.de I have an xmpp bot running on my vps and the bot updates my twtxt.txt using txtnish. So I use twtxt via xmpp.

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
building a http server into weewiki has been more useful than I initially expected
@kas@enotty.dk @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I doubt many want to browser-sniff. Unfortunately, I see browser sniffing used to work around a particular browser’s bugs, so browser sniffing isn’t going away anytime soon.

I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?
@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.
bujo : I’m getting used to it, it’s nice and clear and I love how everything I do is archived :) It helps moving forward and having a clearer mind ^^
@kas@enotty.dk [re: gopher client] If you happen to be on Windows, then Gopher Browser for Windows by Matt Owen is pretty nice, otherwise I use Lynx indeed for gopher.
@lucidiot@tilde.town Also it won’t be necessarily shared, it’s more about managing my tasks. For now I use Taskwarrior
@lucidiot@tilde.town Thanks ! Also I have a question, should I make a separate bujo for work ? Or will I be overwhelmed ? I can’t decide whether it would be useful
Anyone still using Skype actually? Seems like the service completely lost to WhatsApp.
@kas@enotty.dk Good stuff kas++ What command or script did you use to split by year?
@johanbove@johanbove.info : re other twtxt : I’ll consider it then, but it\’d be on another server, meaning I\’ll use a client on the other server
@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 The IndieWeb.org twtxt article is only a stub - me copy-pasting content from other sites - could use some more sections - @t himself found it an interesting concept
@mdosch@mdosch.de Yeah, I might try that, but for the moment I just made my gf use Signal, small step. Thanks for the link :)
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net : [XMPP] I have an account for a long time, but only talk with one person, not that often :/ I’m sad not a lot uses it
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 :)
even though I have these nice hs7 studio monitors on my desk right now, most of my monitoring has been done using my minirig mini. There is just something so irresistable about writing music for something so cute and tiny.

This won’t get me a “Dear Mr. Cook” mention in an Apple event, but I thought it was pretty cool to be able to use my iPad in the kitchen without touching it. Voice Control is pretty good.
Maybe it’s just me getting older, but there is something very satisfying about seeing big chunky text on screen. Currently using an Atari font on my computer. Once your eyes get used to it, it’s actually quite lovely.
@kas@enotty.dk yes, gosrc.io/xmpp is using a lot of fprintf and seems to not do escaping for % 😒
@kas@enotty.dk It looks like the message is f***ed up by the #xmpp library I am using and not by my code. :-/
I could see me using this. Just need to figure out the best workflow for making ‘tweets’.
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I think my pulse would be high a lot of times if using iOS. I hear of so many problems from #xmpp devs fighting iOS and push. Not having a reliable chat app due to apples design constraints would really piss me off.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net use “$@”?
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.

@mox@tilde.town I can show you my setup for volume, brightness and screenshots when I am back home. I only use the suspend key in gdm3 where it works out of the box. I have a shortcut for calling ‘gdmflexiserver’ when I’m leaving the computer as my wife can’t log in to her account otherwise.
@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 just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back

@nonlinear@nonlinear.radiofreqs.space I always wonder why people still use #IRC nowadays. A chat system which can not be used mobile is weird today.
@nonlinear@nonlinear.radiofreqs.space there is an #xmpp muc: xmpp:twtxt@chat.mdosch.de?join but unfortunately not much used.
@ Thanks! Sure, it could be useful, it won’t be obvious for everyone to look at their browser console to understand the issue.
