In-reply-to » @lyse Not a fan of MittelaltermƤrkte, but that sounds like an interesting idea. I wonder if they end up shooting each other on accident. šŸ˜…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Classic song! :-)

The targets are well spread across the forest, it’s impossible that they end up hitting others on accident. The only dangerous station is the one with the white swan. Since they shoot from the other side of the tad pole pond, they might actually hit people on the forest path (where I took the photo) when they miss the target and provided the shot is powerful enough. We were on our way before the archers started their loop trial.

In-reply-to » @lyse Two emails. šŸ˜… One person asking for the source code, and the author of wcwidth (the library I’m using) contacted me to provide some input. šŸ‘Œ

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, no, he was the one providing the feedback. šŸ˜…

mgk appears to be everywhere. His Unicode box drawing demo has been part of my unicode-test script for a long time: https://movq.de/git/bin-pub/file/unicode-test.html#l23

For this week’s (slightly late) #caturday, I’d like to introduce our 4th and final feline resident, the old boy we call Bugsy. He’s been with us for 8 years, and we think he’s 13-14 years old (but he’s not saying).

He used to sound a bit like a cartoon gangster (hence the name), but as the years have passed, he started to sound more like late-stage William Hickey (Uncle Lewis from Christmas Vacation).

He’s our sweet little old man, and he is loved.

@prologic@twtxt.net Fair point, and I don’t plan on doing it myself.

But I also understand raging against the broken social contract(s). It’s like using Iocaine or zip-bombs against the scrapers. I don’t do it, but I understand why someone would feel justified in doing so.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Yes, but is how we want to be behaving. We don’t like something so we go out of our way to be malicious and poison things? I get it though, the hypocrisy is very real here, with burning trees, eating up water supplies, and the massive amounts of energy going into this, but still, this is petulant behaviour and I don’t think it services any useful purpose other than rage and anger.

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to that point of view either. But we are a diverse bunch, there is bread for everyone.
