Quitting my job to start a company.
Interviewer: Can you explain these gaps in your resume? Me: Those are typographical indicators called spaces and line breaks that separate words and paragraphs.

Look, browser makers. If you REALLY want to innovate then give me a button that consolidates every tab from the 7 browser windows I somehow have open into one fucking window.
I heard a great joke today What's the difference between a hedgehog and a Range Rover? Well with a hedgehog the pricks are on the outside.
I get approached a lot by recruiters. Like most modern algorithm, powered things, it suggests more of the same. This poses a challenge for me as I want to do things differently.
Just discovered https://github.com/gayanvoice/top-github-users/blob/main/markdown/public_contributions/united_kingdom.md According to that I'm #1 in public GitHub contributions in Scotland, #10 in the UK and, if I were in the USA, would be #9. Neat.

Annoyance of the day: take affiliate marketing links, extract JWT tokens from click-through tracking URIs, extract information from token to find landing page destination. I wish this wasn't a necessary skill -.-
if a post gets traction and a wider audience, it should be possible for the community as a whole to suggest alt text, rather than suggesting the original poster get fucked for not including alt text access conflicts are real and we're all just individuals doing the best we can under our own circumstances businesses need to be held accountable and platforms need to be made accessible, but part of that accessibility is providing tools to help people to help people

The problem with working in the UK with most colleagues being in the US is that the first thing you see in Slack on a Monday morning is people celebrating Friday afternoon.

You know what's *actually* the craziest part about being gender non-conforming? When you realize you can just be whoever you want, whenever you want. If I get tired of being a girl in 10 years or whenever, I can just stop being a girl. Yeah, I'll have a vagina and stuff but like, I could just throw on some mens jeans, a men's tee, a baseball cap, and stop shaving. I wouldn't have a beard or anything anymore and maybe people would still gender me as female, but like, 🤷♀️ Gender is personal on an intimate level, but also meaningless on a societal level. I spent 30+ years looking like a guy. I've always been a girl but people thought I was a guy bc of how I dressed mostly. But now I dress like a girl and take some hormones and people think I'm a girl. Gender is dumb. Be trans. Do crime.

I talk about being autistic because it is a normal thing to talk about and if that makes you uncomfortable I recommend you mask up and play nice with someone you struggle to communicate with
I'm only halfway through it, but Chants of Sennaar is an easy #NoCombat #GameRecommendation for me. In this #IndieGame, you observe four different tribes to piece together their languages from environmental clues. Once you can decode the languages, the inscrutable puzzles that block your way become obvious, and it's a very rewarding gameplay loop. Artwork is gorgeous, and the game runs fine on #Linux with proton. https://www.rundisc.io/chants-of-sennaar/
80 character column limits in code are a legacy from 80 column text displays which are a legacy of IBM's 80 column punch cards which are a legacy of Roman chariots which had two side-by-side 40 column horses
coincidentally the Roman Colosseum, completed in year 80 AD, has 80 archways & thus 80 columns around the outer perimeter https://www.thecolosseum.org/facts
ok maybe that last bit is a bit silly but it's no sillier than using a nearly 100 year old punch card standard on today's wide screen monitors

@Edent @tommorris Apparently it's a library which, given a forename and a "country", makes a guess as to the gender of people with that name. So the whole concept is just fundamentally broken from beginning to end, and the "countries" list including "East Frisia", "Swiss", and "Kazakh Uzbek" is just extra bonus lulz.

wait they put a new callback on the right Super key, slap a new logo on it, and for this they want to be congratulated? From all the fuss from my feed I thought Microsoft was talking a *new* key. Shipping 105-key keyboards with every PC, stuff like that.
I see two genders of responses to the Microsoft copilot key announcement: * "Ugh, another useless key taking up room" * "Sickos yes, I'll finally have enough keys for Emacs"

Who on earth is going to click the AI button purposefully on a Windows Keyboard. Also, how the fuck did this get accepted? You’re modifying the experience of long time users of Microsoft devices for a stinking key to open a stinking thing that will be dead in a few years. You are really gonna pay to manufacturer all these keyboards? You’re gonna be the first person to have to sunset a physical device? More money than sense
