Slipped getting out of the bath when I was about 12. My foot hit one of the metal poles supporting the sink, with my little toe going one side and the rest of my foot the other. My foot tore on impact, leaving my little toe hanging off.

I bandaged it up, and kept changing the bandage when it was soaked through with blood and it eventually stopped bleeding. I have a scar on my foot, but other than that no lasting damage.

At least Scale AI isn’t 700 Indians in a trenchcoat like that company Microsoft poured money into.

I don’t want to set your expectations too high, because it’s far from perfect, but I thought Picard S3 was basically the good TNG movie that we never received. It was great to see so many of the TNG crew back on screen, and probably for the last time together since they’re all in their 70s. The story was mostly good and there were some real high points.

The argument that it is faster is the biggest lie ever

Vscode is written in JavaScript and running in a web browser. Vim is written in C and runs at a console. Of course Vim is faster. Vscode is a hobbled cripple by comparison.

The rest of your comment suggests you are ignorant of vim with plugins and command line tools. I’ve tried vscode and while it looks nice, I am far faster when developing with vim and a couple of open terminals.

It really is perfect, and how on earth was that domain not taken?

Me too. I’ve used vim to make my living for at least the last 20 years.

Yes, he was quite popular at one time. It was clearly a well-groomed bit of PR that he was this eccentric billionaire who was using his wealth to forward science and technology for all mankind.

Then it turned out that he’s a narcissistic man-child. The mask slipped for me personally when he called that diver rescuing the Thai kids a pedo. His outrageous manipulation of crypto markets came next (exploiting the lack of regulation). Since then, his purchase of Twitter and treatment of Twitter employees has been a staggering shitshow from start to finish. It has absolutely shattered any illusion that he is a good businessman and he’s certainly not a good person.

Picard season 3 was pretty great too. I skipped season 2 as I hated season 1. Apparently season 3 just ignores the events of 2 completely because it was that bad.

I get the feeling that he was forced to include Family Guy style jokes in the first series and was allowed to ease up after it was clear that they weren’t working.

Me too, I have no idea where the complaints about Jerboa are coming from. I mean, it shows posts and comments, how radically different are these alternate apps? They all look the same to me!

Hang on, have I being saying this wrong for years? I thought it was OBDII or OBD2 ?

It’s the Methodists that were big in Wales, not the Catholics.

I don’t believe Trump’s behavior on Jan 6th meets the level of an attempted coup on the government

Then you are a fool.

isn’t this happening right now with Judge Cannon? She was a Trump appointee, has already made an outrageous decision relating to Trump, and now she’s presiding over his classified documents case, Trumpers are sending her death threats because they think she has the power to toss the case out at this point. It’s like they don’t even know when they are winning!

You can block users and there’s a big red “Block Community” button at the top right.

in part because the fediverse is “too hard.”

I think this is probably a good thing, it might keep dumb people away.

As an aside, it’s starting to irritate me how often I see people complain the fediverse/threadiverse is too complex or too difficult to understand. I mean, you managed to understand that email accounts live on different servers, but you can’t apply that same mental logic to forums living on different servers?

I work in IT too. I was with my first employer for 5 years.

The longest I think I stayed with an employer was 8 years and it was because I really enjoyed it - it was difficult consultancy work that took me all over the country and even to some other countries, but it felt like getting a whole new job every 6 months. I gave it up for stability and no travel after I got married. I was with another employer for 6 very boring/stable years after that and I’ve run my own business and worked for myself for the last 11 years.

I think we have different definitions of the word “easily” :D

I think the performance bottleneck isn’t the web application, it’s the PostgreSQL database of comments and posts that won’t scale horizontally (easily).

Really thinking about investing in one of those ~£300 air conditioning units for home next year, as summers seem to keep getting worse, anyone tried those?

I bought one earlier this year. It’s life-changing, would recommend.
