    When one of these megacorps (e.g., Oracle) goes belly up, it&#39;s going to be like a horrendous whalefall of relentless scavenging, isn&#39;t it?

    I am looking at tutorials for making dashed lines in Photoshop. The tutorials all say that it is easy and straightforward. I want all the people who have presented these instructions and described them that way to look in a mirror and hear these words: FUCK YOU. NO, SERIOUSLY. FUCK YOU.

    They want you to believe that resistance is futile. They want you to _feel_ that, in your bones. That&#39;s how they win.

    @rachel@tech.lgbt &quot;I’m so lost and confused&quot; - I&#39;m sorry to hear this. I&#39;ve been feeling sort of the same about the industry in general, but to have the feeling instilled so strongly at a conference that is supposed to be about the thing it&#39;s named after, I can only imagine the feelings of sorrow and discomfort that must bring. :(

    I started creating a new hobby project from scratch last night (yes, another one) and I was midway through setting up the web server stack on it (using Caddy) when I realized that everything I&#39;d planned on coding for the code side of things could literally just be a Caddyfile. So that&#39;s interesting.

    Apparently the skunks have rabies now. Don&#39;t get too close.

    Saanich Fair was this weekend. Lots of fun! I took this light-painting style photo of the Midway Amusements rides, inspired by a photo I saw a few days ago. #yyj #photography #flickr #saanich https://flic.kr/p/2szFoq4

    @annika@xoxo.zone eww. Well, at least they are labelled. (It screams to me &quot;we&#39;ve never made these meals before and we don&#39;t care enough about what we&#39;re doing/how they look&quot;, or in other words, it says their food is as much meaningless slop to them as the imagery is.)

    @offby1@wandering.shop @gnuconsulting@hachyderm.io @ehashman@cloudisland.nz yes, but doesn&#39;t NetBSD have such a policy?

    Spotted on the #sailing subreddit: someone named their windvane (mechanical autopilot) &quot;Ziggy&quot;. Such a great name for it.

    Uh, does YouTube not have a Block feature? That&#39;s pretty pathetic, if so. Ah. You can only block them based on interactions - live chat entries &amp; comment mentions. PATHETIC.

    According to a spam I just got, I am a &quot;mastodon influencer&quot;. Do you hear that? That is the sound of inevitability. BOW TO MY INFLUENCE, PEONS!

    I&#39;d post more, rather than replying so much, if i felt i had anything useful to say. But I&#39;m tired. Literally. Should be working, but the past 1-2 hours of writing project specs wiped me out. Currently lying down.

    Is there a `docker obliterate` command, that completely removes every possible stray image/container/network that could be interfering with things? I&#39;d like a total clean slate ... oy.

    Current status: supremely annoyed at WordPress&#39;s half-baked concept of &quot;child themes&quot;; or else maybe the &quot;twentytwentytwo&quot; theme is particularly unhappy to be living in 2026.

    I was wondering where &quot;Fuck Your Fascist Pancakes&quot; came from, and I am proud to learn that it is Canadian in origin.

    @logan Hmm, no. It might have been River (no, not River Cartwright). But I feel it was more of a sean-bean-crossed-with-patrick-dempsey type.

    It&#39;s spelled &quot;interuterine device&quot;, right? (This dumb joke brought to you by my attempt to design a logo this evening, at the same time two of my domains quietly expired - breaking the DNS. I had internet on my mind, and the logo project happened to have the letter &quot;t&quot; in it, and some of the font choices were ... extremely familiar to logo criticisms of the recent past.)

    @mkbhd I have my window open to a downpour and a thunderstorm - it&#39;s very relaxing.
