The GNU folks: Hehehe, we called it GIMP. And the main branch is called master. Because GIMP, get it?! We couldn’t possibly change it because *fart noises* Also GNU folks: Why does everyone think we’re three misogynistic 12-year-old boys in a neckbeard suit? There are so many low hanging fruits for you folks to embrace inclusivity and make a dedicated effort to clean up your act but you seem too bloody busy pissing all over the tree to mark your territory. #foss #fsf #inclusivity #gnu #gimp

It’s funny how the RTO crowd all think getting into the office makes you more productive. Meanwhile I’m sitting at home waiting all day for a response from people because they’re in the office socialising instead of working…

Writing code for a retail org and hey guess what the day after Thanksgiving is not a day off here. Ah well.

We do the writing. We do the editing. We do the reviewing. We do the formatting (we typeset everything in LaTeX). We do the proofreading. We correct the mistakes introduced by proofreaders. What do publishers do? They make us sign silly copyright forms, stamp their logo on our papers, and then proceed to charge *us* (either as authors or readers) ridiculous amounts. People think academics/scientists are clever. We might be. But we are also stupid. And vain. #openaccess

I finally finished Loki s2. No spoilers but I wasn’t feeling the first few episodes and almost gave up. The end was pretty great though and I’m glad I hung in.

Little bit of work news. The charity I work for has just landed a significant amount of funding. https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/news/government-announces-51-million-for-our-future-health/

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a fun much-needed refresh of the 2D Mario series, with new sprites and animations to replace ones from the aging New Super Mario Bros line. The visual refresh is excellent, …

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate the act of invading foreign regions and exterminating the local population: an extremely contemporary topic too, I reckon.

You can now ask Bard about youtube videos. A cocktail recipe gets turned into >10 minute video, sprinkled with ads, protected by adblocker-blockers, to be digested by AI, analyzed via state of the art cpu arrays, to extract the original cocktail recipe for further marketing. Collectively, we are an amazingly dumb species. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/22/23972636/bard-youtube-extension-update-search-video-content

Omnivore, the open-source (mostly self-hostable!) read-it-later service and app, is absolutely brilliant. Hands down the best I’ve ever used. Throw out Pocket, say goodbye to Instapaper, say a fond farewell to Wallabag, and go download, support, and use @omnivore@pkm.social.

So I’m doing something insane to save $500 on a new MacBook Pro 14” b/c of Seattle sales tax. I’m taking the train to fucking Portland. Because it’s $70 on the nice train plus maybe $20 in Ubers vs $552 in extra tax. Usually, I let the sales tax thing go but $550 was where I learned the line was for me to instead spend all day on a train.

holy shit lmao I found an issue on github where someone is posting memes every time StaleBot™ decides a very reproducible issue is marked as stale https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/12630#issuecomment-1562454039

I've had to write a User Manual for a leadership workshop tomorrow. I gotta tell you that writing "Hi I have severe ADHD, constant tiredness and fogginess from autoimmune issues, and borderline personality disorder. Which means I'm basically easily distracted, sleepy, and highly emotional" doesn't feel like I'm selling myself.

Was delighted to be interviewed by Jerod on the Changelog for what must be the third time this year. This time, we discuss our approaches to managing dependencies (an evergreen debate), before moving onto discussing the emerging POSSE trend which I seem to have backed myself into with the updates I've made to the design of this website over the past year. Here's an Apple Podcasts link, if that's more your thing.
