  that old phrase, "not for all the tea in China" clearly came from someone who has never tried even vaguely decent tea I'd cut off your fucking toe for 50 grams of Longjing, don't think I wouldn't

  You know, my coworker/boss is very good about my epilepsy. My word recall is affected and they're very patient and good about how sometimes I'll write out function names or variables that look like a Japanese light novel name because I am able to eventually describe what a function is doing... but I might not remember the precise term that goes along with it. So during review they'll suggest, you know, the "normal" English word for that. And even going back through some...

  "AI" companies: not just doing the digital equivalent of burning the library, but also buying any physical book they can get their grubby hands on to scan and burn. fucking great RE: https://www.404media.co/.ghost/activitypub/article/413cbe16-10a5-49be-a9a5-874ec1b01123

  I love when you randomly see a game on steam that looks like exactly what you'd expect from a game developer playing madlibs and just rolling with it "uhhhhh Hades vampire survivors card battler but with Dante's Inferno waifus" (It's called Hell Maiden, to be clear) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3372060/Hell_Maiden/

  Especially when it comes to free software, it’s weird when the main characters totally ignore the political and social context of technological objects...I wonder what the stance is on using decompilers to generate code from proprietary drivers or operating systems and just paste them into the Linux Kernel? It is basically the same. Code of dubious legal standing being thrown into a codebase built around a free license. But just decompiling and copy pasting is so fucking useful. RE: https://tld...

  The hollowing out and weaponization of civic institutions against the populace they're meant to serve is being mirrored far too neatly in tech and software, both proprietary and open.

  My cat that was born in a Brooklyn parking lot does not give a flying fuck about fireworks. He is sound asleep. Even the other cat, who was born in Seattle but lived in Brooklyn for a time, is only mildly perturbed by the really loud ones. Yay for above ground trains and nightly, mysterious exploding sounds, I suppose.

  how long until that language is expanded? I wonder; how long until your sexuality isn't an "immutable characteristic"? Or, hell, what's to stop them from saying some religious beliefs aren't "immutable characteristics"? How long until they make that claim for Muslim people, I wonder. It's not like they used a single iota of facts from scientific studies, or reality, to support their ass opinion. And in Texas, the RNC is apparently deep in its belief that...

  "The community recommends this game today!" The game's name is literally "Certified Mother Fucker" and it only has 8 reviews lmao I have barely played any VNs on Steam, and not any hentai ones. This is proving to be a source of daily delight and I love it.

  oh hoooo so apparently if you do something fancy when writing a tarball to tape, like, say, piping the tarball into some command like mbuffer or pv before it goes to tape, you may have to use that program during extraction as it might do things with the buffer size? Anyway, well, can't test that on my photographs since I've already started backing it up to tape without using pv over ssh, but I am using zstd compression (instead of gzip) and it's now a local-to-the-machine backup....
