I code. I write. I may be a goldfish.

I am also @[email protected] on ActivityPub/Mastodon.
Got to say, the @stechlab-labels.bsky.social tagger adds some useful context when browsing the replies.

/r/programming is getting dystopian on us. Also, I feel that for practical reasons, an execution can only hope for "at-most-once".

I absolutely can not overstate how much I can absolutely not be fucked jumping through whatever “hand over some arbitrary amount of PII to some random company that assures you it will not have a massive data breach in six months” hoops are necessary to enable DMs on Bluesky.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I have learned from experience, to my great disappointment, that these stories never involve a scientist being shrunk down so they can pilot a small submarine through the person’s body chasing a serial killer.

Reasons for raising your standing desk in the morning:

❌ it’s healthy to stand up sometimes
❌ you just feel like standing up

Also, went to Google to refresh my memory on what’s exactly happening in that scene, and laughed out loud.

I thought it would be a funny story when I lost.

I don’t think I’ve interacted with distributed.net since the 1990s. Later in the email, they include a plain-text password.

This is the same year in Australia. To me, the US chart seems like American radio was really locked in on a narrow set of genres that year.

Did "Like a Prayer" just not get released in America or something? (For comparison, the Australian year-end chart of the same year)

I did a quick search to make sure I was using “huff its own farts” correctly, as it’s not my native idiom, and I did not expect Google’s AI to go all-in on it like this.

It's a particular achievement that in the last six months I've managed to both massively cut down my drinking, AND still not remember impulse-ordering a March 7th (Evil) commemorative X-Box controller until it showed up at my door.
