Rust. Should I learn Rust? It seems to be a thing. There seems to be some money in it. How does one even "get started" in Rust? I can't imagine that there's even such a thing as "entry level."

Every time I make any effort to be more attentive to, and active in, any semblance of "tech community," I am swiftly reminded of just how offputting they are and have always been.

Why are tech groups moving from Slack to Discord?

Every cow-orker: "We really need a wiki for all these snippets and tips."

Me: "Here are a bunch of options that cover multiple use cases."

Crickets: "chirp."

Just saw a note on code deprecation, reported as "code desecration," and this is now the Correct Format for me.

This damn monitor sits on a raised platform which I cannot remove, and also has a stalk which cannot go lower, so unless I sit very upright I wind up always looking slightly upward, which gets painful quickly if I’m slouching.

So it forces a “better” posture.

Why not just electrify my chair, you say…

@brunoph User note: the Mastonaut app doesn’t respect custom character limits set for different instances, as far as I can tell.

The ebay/paypal hyper nexus of suck has become utterly and irretrievably useless.

@brunoph Do you have any plans to implement the “local only” posting option? Or is it there and I’ve missed it?

So far I’m liking Mastonaut a lot for managing multiple accounts, but it lacks the “reply only locally” option that is important in some instances.

Sales guy asked me for “stream of consciousness” comments on a new pitch.

Poor guy.

I don’t think he’ll be asking that again.

Is there an instance that’s particularly emusician friendly?

Hush, you. We all know it’s down.

In lieu of music, I have taken to playing TV and movies while I work.

This week, my collection of “Harbor Command”, perhaps the squarest show ever aired.
