I've been getting a lot of those "your parcel couldn't be delivered" phishing attacks lately and if you're a human with a phone, you probably have been too. Just as a brief reminder, they look like this: These get through all the technical controls that exist at my telco and

Prompted by having read the prequel novel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I recently decided to re-read the Hunger Games novels. First of all, I was curious about the prequel - how can a prequel about the villain of the series tie in? The prequel tells the (love) story of a teenage Coriolanus Snow, who later becomes president (dictator would be the more appropriate term) of Panem. What an odd book to read, because how can you make a novel about an entitled narcissist, who treats people like possessions, possibly compelling? While his rise to patriotism is sometimes interesting, [...]

I am so fucking sick of “Oops!” And “Oh No!” In error messages. “omg bestie I’m like, sooooooo sorry, there was an error but I’m afraid that’s my little secret ;) try again dickhead” Please just tell me there was an authentication error. So I can Google it. And provide useful information to your exhausted support team.

Go first came onto my radar about 9 years ago when I came across MuMax during my PhD studies. While I’ve touched it briefly, I wouldn’t consider myself to have used it in anger until recently, when I started a job that uses it as one of it’s primary languages for API development. I’ve had experience in writing C and C++ code, but more recently I’ve done a lot of Python, so going back to Go has felt oddly like a throwback to those compiled languages I’ve used before, with a bit of modern sparkle.

Attached: 1 image 🎉 Random indieweb inspiration for the day: My daughter's college Advertising PR class is hand editing HTML+CSS for a project "about me" assignment in VSCode -- and that is so cool -- and it was one of the best "hey dad, guess what we are doing today" text messages of all time #indieweb #prouddad

OK, I got on the styling-my-#RSS-feeds & creating a /feeds page train 🚂 https://shellsharks.com/notes/2024/02/21/web-feed-makeover Shouout to @abf@mas.to, @cory@social.lol, @jimniels@mastodon.social & @robb@social.lol for the inspiration.

It may seem silly, but go run is my favorite part about go. Want to run your code? go run main.go. It is so stupidly simple that I could tell my mom about this command, and she would immediately understand. Like with most things in go, the real power in this command is in the effortless understanding of how to build and run everyone’s code. But I can run node main.

Ah, another day on the Fediverse. What should be sup on today? **spins the wheel** The pointer spins round and around, past “everyone sends you pictures of their pets”, “you live post about this weeks mental breakdown”, “death threats” and “a nice simple conversation with a new mutual” It slows; moving gently past “spam wave”, “blocking is abuse” and “John Mastodon” Inching closer to its destination you hold your breath, it seems like it’s landing on “meta conversations about meta conversations” but you hope it will be “you will spend the day local-only posting to the people on your instance, checking in with them and asking how they’ve been” Alas, the pointer has picked its target. “admins can read your DMs btw”

Attached: 1 image I dunno how new this is but The Guardian seems to have stripped all social media cruft from their byline header stuff and replaced it with a “Copy Link” button. Rather than change the Twitter buttons to Xs they just got rid of the whole farce. Nice to see.

a heist movie but it's about a bunch of transfemmes hypnotizing a billionare so that his new fetish is being a paypig for UBI

@suricrasia@lethargic.talkative.fish It's like Inception mixed with 50 Shades

@jwz@mastodon.social My key memory of it is watching a friend watch in horror as it sent a group text to his furry contact list and non-furry contact list, revealing their numbers to each other. At least it respected the division of contact groups.

I don’t think I appreciated how incredibly loud airplanes are until we had good noise cancelling headphone technology. Soooo loud! (And I don’t mean crying babies, they are allowed to cry, being a baby is hard work)

looking forward to listening to some talks from #techfast #nottingham this morning over breakfast

Also I wish there were laws against using tracker URLs on unsubscribe links. I'm unsubscribing, you can already record that in your stuff, don't make me have to disable my DNS-based ad-blocker just to tell you that I don't want to receive your shitty emails.

Waiting for the Bell Riots when Bell Riots were already happening everywhere else in the world.

Thought: I'd bet a lot of projects would have fewer dependencies if pip was 100x slower. Maybe we should try to do that.

This was to a @changelog News submitter, but worth sharing publicly: “The post looked interesting, but I hadn't scrolled an inch before I was interrupted by your email newsletter signup overlay. This is a bad reading experience, which we consider when linking to content. A better place for something like this is at the bottom of the post, because it a) lets the reader actually _read_ your post, and b) assures they made it to the end, so might be interested in more of your content.”
