@Bambicakes can't say I am surprised. No different when me and my brothers were protesting for minorities being gunned down by the police. And I thought this was America and we had free speech. Smh what a shame.

If guaranteed minimum income and universal healthcare were a thing, I think so many of my programmer colleagues would immediately take low-income sabbaticals to write high-quality good-ui users-first free and open source software that it would inspire tedious "how was it possible?!?" medium dot com thinkpieces for years and years
Finished FF2 (FF4) on SNES. Have played it before but never finished it.
It made me incredibly sad.
Many things do that now.
There are things I miss which will never be again, and this game basically had that as a theme, except that it is a game and all ends with a happy ending.
Happy endings make me sad.

Poor people don't need you to feel sorry for them.
They don't need to be reminded how people should be paying them and aren't.
They don't need to hear about how unfair anything is.
They don't need to hear how if they lived in your country they wouldn't be poor and would have health care.
They don't need compliments.
They don't need advice.
They don't need you to feel anything for them.
They need money.
Just sittin here, waiting for my morning coffee and wake up orgasm. Who's gonna bring me both?
You know that thing you use and rely on every day? We're deprecating that.
Why can't my entire file system be like a git repo? Need a version of that image file from 6 months ago? Just check it out. VMS had this feature and it was awesome.
i like buildings with personality. pretty much anything built after 1940 is garbage.
Fun fact about Britain: we don't have aircon in our houses because it rarely gets hot to justify it
Another fun fact about Britain: it's a heatwave and aircon would be jolly useful right about now
@Blackknight But of course! No, it just makes me sad that the pace of development is so fast that we can't use equipment for a decade or two.
Guys I got several really good books from the university library. Apparently they're getting old, and no one is interested in them anymore, but they're soviet math and physics textbooks which guide you through every proof etc and are more in depth than any other textbook I've seen. I used these books to study for analysis courses and got 100% thanks to these. So I took like 6 books and I'm really excited about this lol
This is a legit question.
If a major stumbling block for people joining Mastodon-based instances is that their friends aren't here, then why do we not yet have a way for folks to connect their Twitter accounts to fetch statuses from the folks they're following?
There's a lot of API hell, yes. But, we're halfway there with the crossposters (which provide a valuable service), so why not go further?
Past me didn't document a thing that should have been documented, so present me spent an hour re-figuring everything out and documenting it.
Past me is a jackass. Don't be like past me. Document your things.
I abandoned macOS for Linux about 6 months ago, but since then I’ve wondered if any third-party window managers existed.
Turns out, the answer is yes.
Morning folks.
If something isn't working for you, try something else. Don't let the amount of time invested keep you shackled to a poor situation if it is bringing you unhappiness.
It's ok to change course of you discover an idea you had isn't working. You'll be the better for it.
