@bender@twtxt.net that’s kind of what I was getting it initially yeah

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is brilliant!

@zvava@twtxt.net I figure I will know when it is ready, the day I see you using it. Can’t wait! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de lovely, thanks for sharing! Now you know what I will be using today on a loop.

@zvava@twtxt.net looking sweet!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @zvava@twtxt.net I think people get sick of everything changing all the time and so don’t bother adopting things to change when things are already good enough 🤷

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de h.265 is from 13 years ago and support is still incredibly spotty (though it being proprietary probably has a lot to do with that)

also see: jpegxl’s adoption (three or six years old depending how you quantify it) which afaik is mostly attributed to google deciding not to put it in chrome (though they changed their stance recently iirc (webp, of course, did not have this problem since it was pushed so hard by google (the browser wars never ended)))

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, but isn’t it from 2010? No widespread adoption after 15 years? Is there that much inertia? 🤔 On my box, everything just works – browser, GIMP, ImageMagick, imlib2, … 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think WebP being new just hasn’t seen widespread adoption everywhere (yet) 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net on the way o7  spent enough time away from the codebase

@zvava@twtxt.net come on, bbycll, come! :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no idea why that is. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! 🌇

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org where he was is fog. That’s on the mountains.

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! And foggy as heck, very beautiful! Or is this smog?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

@prologic@twtxt.net That looks super humid. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net who is that handsome man?! Looking good! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net No no we did!!! Just the photos are rubbish 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I like this one. Haven’t been to the Golden Bridge yet? Make sure you do!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh you are a brilliant man 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net Here you go:

(LTT = “Linus Tech Tips”, that’s the host.)

LTT: There was a recent thing from a major tech company, where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote – and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here that was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity, because–

Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset. At that point, that’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh, he was a prominent figure in the, uh, improved efficiency of the US government recently.

Torvalds: Oh. Apparently I was spot on.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de BahahahGG 🤣🤣🤣

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net do you know what I also find equally just as stupid and dumb is having to upgrade the software license on something just to be able to get OIDC or OAuth support ffs 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :‘-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon you’re right. There cannot be any other explanation.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I will check it out! Thanks so much

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My theory is that these people simply don’t do “code archeology”. When something breaks, they don’t reach for git log. They simply don’t experience the pain that comes with bad commits / commit messages.

Or is that different in your company? 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, shit, you might be right. You can even buy these slot plates on Amazon. I didn’t even think to check Amazon, I went straight to eBay and tried to find it there, because I thought “it’s so old, nobody is going to use that anymore, I need to buy second-hand”. 🤦🤦🤦

It really shows that I built my last PC so long ago … I know next to nothing about current hardware. 😢

@bender@twtxt.net i’m just pointing out that it’s one of those fundamental RS 232 standards that will never die 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net why do you think that’s the case?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think even modern PC still come with serial ports they just don’t wire them up anymore right? They’re still there in the board itself, though just unwired.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same. :‘-( I just don’t get how people do code archeology with all their shit messages and huge commits changing a gazillion of different things. I always try to lead by setting good examples, but nofuckingbody is picking up on that. At all. Even when bringing this up every now and then.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can associate your identity to the apex domain with a bit of Webfinger wizardry, but I don’t. Mine are always attached to the sub-domains. I find it easier to migrate between instances that way without risking borking federation.

@prologic@twtxt.net Bwahahaha! I tried to establish some form of “convention” for commit messages at work (not exactly what you linked to, though), but it’s a lost cause. 😂 Nobody is following any of that. Nobody wants to invest time in good commit messages. People just want to get stuff done.

I’m just glad that 80% are at least somewhat useful – instead of “wip” or “shit i screwed up”.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I couldn’t agree more! I think good commit messages are very useful, however, and I’d much prefer the conventional mood style for Commit messages, but rather prefer telling a story rather than this weird syntax all over the shop!

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I don’t like them either.

As for changelogs, I prefer hand-written ones over something automatically cobbled together. Typically, they are just utter rubbish in my experience.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe that is helpful to you: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt2html/issues/12#issuecomment-20792

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwww, I wanna run my hands through this fur so badly! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net No beak, no feathers, … looks suspicious! That’s probably a weird mammal!!1! 😅🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Aren’t yhere onlu 12 puzzles this year? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about a drop bear? 🧐🤣😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Are you using your Gitea username instead of got@ ? Are you forwarding auth?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, to be fair, if you show me any picture of a penguin (or in fact any bird), I’ll go “awwwwwww 😍” for a little while. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net are you able to send me a video recording of how that sounds because I don’t think that that’s what they called it at the breakfast? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net dad told me the name is Tao Tau.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Four people! Exactly my thoughts, bender, but super cute. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de well I’ve got several minutes of at least three people’s attention now didn’t it? 🤣
