@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, this is the tricky bit for sure.

Of course, they say that totally convinced. Until it eventually explodes in their faces and let others clean up after themselves.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha, it’s working fine in mine. But I cannot use spaces in the nickname. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net I have no idea. Probably busy with life ya’know 😅 I’m just as guilty myself.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have no doubts. Within that parsing thought, I wonder, where in the world is @xuu@txt.sour.is?

@bender@twtxt.net If you break it, I will fix it 😅

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com such a déjà vu! Breaking Yarn’s parser used to be a daily routine. Now it doesn’t happen that often mostly because I have learned what it will cause it to break, and hold myself back. But it is finicky! 😅

@arne@uplegger.eu Lol, indeed, now that you mention it … “You can’t do that!” “You really should $foo.”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

LOL! You broke my link parser. 😄

@thecanine@twtxt.net I love these. Pixel art is amazing. It looks so simple, but it’s really, really hard. 😳

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, no. That’s my baby. 😅 It was built in 1989 and I probably had it since the early 1990ies (it came with an IBM PS/2 Model 30 that they handed out to employees, IIRC).

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to phrase the answer without sounding too bitter. 🤣 Let’s just say, nope, it won’t work.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I’ve heard of that option (“Aufhebungsvertrag”). I guess the real challenge will be finding something else that isn’t just as silly.

And on the bright side, you don’t even have to hand over anything.

They actually say that with a straight face. (Did I mention that already?) “The age of maintainership is over. Anyone can now contribute to any project at any time.”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, please post that list.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Couldn’t agree more. I’ll check my list tomorrow that I started a few weeks ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If you really like to, you can try to negotiate with your employer that you can leave earlier. At least some mates were successful in that. I mean, it’s also in the company’s interest to not have to pay someone who has already mentally resigned long ago.

And on the bright side, you don’t even have to hand over anything. Your boss doesn’t have to look for a successor, so they can just let you go even sooner. This AI shit will simply continue whatever you did, no problem!!

It’s so crazy. I should probably also look for something else. :-(

@Little-Eric-{{first_name}}@itsericwoodward.com Hahaha, will do! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, very nice! :-D

@thecanine@twtxt.net such handsome doggo! Much wow! ❤️

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, I see, convoluted pleasures have taken over your time, eh? One day I will grow up to be like you. I hope. Maybe. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I have no time for simple pleasures anymore 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net good day, mate! Your “hyperparticipation” is sorely missed! :-P

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahahaha!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ooooh, yes! I am going to subscribe to that. Well done.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Are you able to set a level of standards and expectations in the repo you are the maintainer of? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net There is nothing I can do – except quit. The company explicitly wants it that way.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What are you going to do about this? 🧐

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found him: https://movq.de/v/66f49383d8/vid-1779857134.mp4

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Just call me Little Eric {first_name}}. 😁

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net Dang it, I missed it, too.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com Confess, you just registered as {{first_name}}!

Nobody checks their e-mail templates. And even if they do, they only look at the HTML part. The plain text part is useless more often than not. Granted, this is the subject.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I only had 3.5” disks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool! Let’s look for 57 61 6C 64 6F.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congratulations! I also was a LAMP dude back in the days. That’s all we had as kids without money. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I just changed the bindsym directly in my i3 config. But I’m looking forward to learn a few new tricks. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you keep the floppies, give me that clickyty keyboard! :-D

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com ahh, I missed this one! I have now added it to my calendar, so come 25 May 2027 I shall not forget. To the hoopy froods!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com LOl 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Great find! Other than a couple of games I bought over the years, my 5.25” disks were always dark grey / black.

And 3.5” disks were another matter entirely… 😄

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Just a phone? These things have become shockingly good …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats, that’s no small feat!

The blogosphere will never die!! 🤘

@prologic@twtxt.net Wow, thanks everyone for the kind words! 😊

In answer to @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @bender@twtxt.net: I’m sorry, it’s just the default camera app on my Samsung Galaxy S23 phone with the “Portrait” mode turned on. It’s a trick I learned from my wife, who used to work for a dog daycare and took pics of doggos for their FB page. It works well for humans, too. 😁

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com tack sharp pics, dude! Just like @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I want to know details on the rig. I am assuming a DSLR (Canon/Nikon), but if it was done with a mobile camera I wouldn’t be surprised.

@tftp@tilde.town Ah, I see. I have a feeling that a lot of stuff is going on under the hood all the time and it’s mostly the userland-visible things that stay the same? 🤔 But yeah, some stuff is really, really old, like the TCP code I’ve recently (tried to) read.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Those are some really nice shots. I mean, the cat and also the shots themselves. Which cam is that? (Don’t tell me it’s an iPhone, that’d be boring. 😂)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Very nice 👍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … this reminds me that I should finally write that tutorial on how to make your own X11/Wayland keymaps. That helps a lot in mitigating stupid design issues like these.

@bender@twtxt.net This shit is back. But with SSHFS instead of SMB now. SMB is still fucked for no reason. Let’s see, when it explodes.

@tftp@tilde.town Please elaborate. 😅

@tftp@tilde.town hey, my pleasure! Have a great weekend! I am going to off for a few days to do a whole lot of nothing. Can’t wait! 😂
