    I was out and about and noticed my phone connected to a WiFi network called “Open Roaming.” I’ve never seen this before, and it freaked me out. It turns out, it’s a thing, and my device supports it automatically. https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/solutions/networking/wi-fi-6-6e/openroaming/index.html

    In Vancouver, and I just saw a little kid, maybe 4 or 5, wearing a Ninja Turtles t-shirt using the turtles design from the 1987 cartoon, and it was in French, and I felt like I was taken out of time and placed in an alternate universe, for a moment.

    The person next to me on the flight watched Fox News for the entire 3 hour, 45 minute flight. Fox News is freaking out over El-Sayed winning the Democratic primary in Michigan. Apparently (according to Fox News), he’s a far-left communist who wants to destroy the country, and the Democratic Party is fracturing and falling apart over all the communists who are infiltrating the party. Ooookaaaay.

    @kf@666.glitchwit.ch There are all the truck-driving sims, too. My son bought a gear shift, steering wheel, etc.

    I was disappointed to learn Vancity doesn’t sell Vans (shoes).

    Well, that was the smoothest passport control I’ve ever been through. I never once interacted with a person. I walked through customs, did my declaration at a kiosk (I did an advanced declaration), grabbed my bag, and walked right into the country.

    @josh@joshbutts.social @Crell@phpc.social I used to refuse, but then they stopped asking me to walk through them. Now, I’m never asked to use them. 🤷‍♂️

    I went through security in Nashville today without ever showing my boarding pass or ID. Everything was handled with facial recognition. Boarding the plane from Salt Lake City to Vancouver, they did the same thing. No boarding pass or passport check, just facial recognition.

    I just saw that South Korea’s stock market crashed last week. Will that have any ripple effects on other stock markets this week?

    I was looking at the website of a local business, and I noticed their pages end with `.php`. So, I thought, I&#39;ll bet they still have the X-Powered-By header. Sure enough, yes they do: X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.45

    So, wait. “Swipe right” means you start from the right side of the screen and move it towards the left side? That can’t be. This doesn’t seem intuitive, but that’s what Discord’s iOS UI just instructed me to do to get to DMs faster.

    I don’t know whether this is a hot take, but Kimetsu no Yaiba is just okay. The animation and voice acting are good, but the stories are so-so. I got bored with it during the Entertainment District Arc and stopped watching. #Anime #DemonSlayer

    @ocramius@mastodon.social @evert@indieweb.social And who knows what RedShift is under the hood, but it should not be queried by production websites. (It uses the postgres API to query it).

    I was running Claude at work last week when it reported it couldn’t make commits, so I asked what happened, and it explained that it needed a Git repository to make commits. “You’ve been working in a Git repository. What happened?” I asked. It argued back that the directory was not a Git repository; it was missing the `.git/` directory. Sure enough, it was. So, I asked what happened. “I deleted the .git/ directory, and now that I think about it, that was the wrong thing to do. I’m sorry.”

    When you’re Cesar Romero, you can just smear that clown white into your mustache, and no one bats an eye.

    RE: https://phpc.social/@ramsey/116909536653309589 I’m open to feedback on my working groups proposal for the PHP project. As I wrote on my blog, if you read the policy and find a wrinkle that could be mistaken as a barrier, let me know so we can iron it out. #PHP

    Season 4 of “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?” had no business being as good as it was. Wow! Amazing! #Anime
