Fun setting up basic productivity tools with Syncthing and Todo.txt
I really want !btprnt to be integrated into !weewiki somehow. Both can speak !janet, and I already figured how to embed PNG images inside of an HTML document. In small doses, it could be fun. #halfbakedideas
Who needs games when you can have fun with contributing to open-source!
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.)

In case you were wondering, using a mouse on iPadOS is fun for about five minutes.
Just getting back home, my son Alejandro crashed his ‘91 Mazda Miata, the kid is fine but the car not so much. It was a fun drive.

@frogorbits.com@www.frogorbits.com Haha, have fun with ed ^^ I recently wrote an article about it and I must admit that it’s indeed “fun” to use x)
I’m using Blink SSH on my iPad and I have an entry in known_hosts that I need to get rid of. I do not have vi available. I do have ed available. This will be fun.
I’ve set up a fingerd on my domain. I’ve not had that much fun for quite a while… feel free to finger sex@ dick@ butt@ touch@ root@. The real one is finger@.
@von@tilde.town re: hidden twtxt: I’ve done this. It was fun.
embedded scripting languages are all fun and games until you break their garbage collector
weewiki org parser is getting a little bit better. fun bits are long gone, and now it is just tedious bugfixing.
Today’s fun: pastel random -n 2 | pastel gradient - -
My idea of a fun Saturday night: achieving Camera Roll Zero.
What a match. Ingolstadt was leading 3-1 and 4-2 but Munich fought back and won 4-7! #INGvsRBM Also 5th regular time win in a row, so Munich remains unbeaten in the new season. Seems this season will be a lot of fun again.
Today’s fish fun: set -l color_host $fish_color_host; if command -qs shasum; set color_host (printf (prompt_hostname) | shasum -pa 256 - | cut -c 59-64 | tr -d ‘\n’); end
fun phrase learned today: “de haut en bas”
@mdosch@mdosch.de I’ve tried to play games on my phone and iPad but none of the games I’ve ever played on them seem to stick. I’ve had fun — briefly — with Threes and FTL and Really Bad Chess and so forth, but I don’t seem to stick with any one game on my iOS gizmos like I have with, say, FTL-on-Steam, much less TF2 or Dota 2.
going without was fun and all, but i’m glad to have something to use again
Remember when Google’s april fool’s day pranks were fun, instead of being getting-rid-of-inbox-forever?
randomwiki is fun
current Saturday-night fun: ensuring that everything I have installed on one machine with Homebrew is also on the other machine

Neal Stephenson demonstrated that people will read (and love) infodumps so long as they’re funny or fun to read. In other words: infodumps in fiction are fine so long as the author is also an essayist.
Having a fun day trying to sort out why my code isn’t working. Only to find out the API server I’m calling is borked.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net they always claim to have a video of me having fun but there is a sticker on my cam and the webcam module is blacklisted. 🤨
Making bad puns and then learning hidden truths by taking them too seriously is, basically, the most human form of human intelligence. That’s why we make fun of people for doing it. Dad jokes are the foundation of cognition.
Another fun day of loading data for this software pilot. It’s fun just watching data load.
Another fun day of loading data, so people can test the new system next week.

Nginx rewrites are fun. https://codevoid.de/?this-variable-does-totally-not-matter=cookie
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Thanks! Programming gopher://taz.de was the most fun i had in ages. And it was for work! Kind of. :)
Fun fact: OpenBSDs vi does not support utf8. That’s probably the first time I haven’t just used the default system vi.

The thing that worries me about MovieBob’s ‘man thought’ pilot is that up until the last few minutes poe’s law is in effect way too much and it’s just indistinguishable from the shit he’s making fun of

I’d like to see less tech journalism that’s PR or PR-teardowns for companies, and more tech journalism that’s about strange technically-interesting things people do for fun that could never conceviably be productized.
‘It’s more fun to be a pirate than join the navy’ is accurate, but Jobs failed to mention that any BUSINESS is a navy in this metaphor. A small navy is at a disadvantage. Naval officers who act like pirates are called war criminals.
Sorry, for being quite noisy now but it is really fun using #twtxt over #xmpp, am very proud it somehow works even when I’m no programmer.

Another fun day at work. I’ll be glad when the day is over.
I think this week I’ll look at a bare bone PHP CLI for a twtxt client. Just for fun mind you
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I once had a fun day hunting down the phone number for a scraper. Really nice guy, just some script running havoc.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.
@trqx@0x1A4.1337.cx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)

@mdom@domgoergen.com mostly for fun, but once I have it working more it’ll get integrated into https://gitlab.com/technomancy/bussard.
Yeah, i don’t care much for the store bought substitues, but making them yourself is always fun.

Let’s be honest, it seems to be impossible to use twtxt without adding new stuff to the client. So much fun.

We would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun… Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?
