Now I’m confused whether it’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Advent of Code, or Axiom of Choice.
@jonny One more reason to open papers from the authors’ (static html) website or straight from SciHub, even if we have an institutional subscription.
hi I've spent all try trying to fix a blocked toilet please buy my band's music
writing a script to extract music downloaded on Bandcamp Friday into individual directories 
re: bikeshedding
@aral @harald It still surprises me why the language that starts with a J and ends with avaScript is viewed so widely as beginner friendly. Among numerous eslint rulesets, typescript annotations, and a package manager that strictly enforces dependency declarations, I’m just starting to entertain the hope that some parts of my code might lack silly bugs…
Nevertheless, it’s what people use nowadays, so that’s what we end up using to reach a wide audience, too. 
2021: scammers are copying websites from well-known news outlets and buying Facebook advertising space. Don't say victims are dumb, this is pretty convincing.
Neither me nor the channel endorses the consumption of anything. Don’t. Consume. Nuthin’.
re: Messing with Matrix/Dendrite (long)
@trysdyn Isn’t presence turned on most smaller Synapse instances due to ridiculous memory usage, anyways? So no presence support doesn’t sound like that big of a deal.
I just want you guys to know that the multiple *years* I've had my music on Spotify and iTunes have still made me less money than the first two weeks of the same albums on Bandcamp.
Please support artists directly if you can.
yesterday I had to record and post-process 5 minutes of narration for a demo video. editing took over 2 hours for me, ouch… 
javascript
I might have created something very cursed: https://github.com/siouan/frontend-gradle-plugin/issues/175
javascript build tooling is flabbergasting: am I really supposed to check a 2MiB .cjs file into git?
checking in gradle-wrapper.jar was bad enough, but this is on another level
[…] you would set the front panel switches to a number and run
dsw, which would then read that number of entries from the current directory, print on the terminal the name of the last one it had read, and crash itself, leaving a core dump. You could then, if you wanted, remove the file it had named by reexecuting thecorefile.
This is legitimately terrifying. 
@jookia yeah, and I guess you’d (firmly) send away people running unofficial binaries to ask support from whoever made the unofficial binary
but that’s way different than actively making sure nothing but the official binaries run at all
@spacekookie It might be completely accidental, but my earbuds had a “normal” cable which broke quite quickly. Replacement cable from the manufacturer was a bit pricey, so I got some random ridiculous looking braided cable off ebay instead, and it haven’t broken since. 
Guess the large braids could provide some stress relief?
since when is not packaging a piece of software on a given platform == the software not supporting the platform at all?
the confusion may come from whether
- not supporting == forget it, it’s way too much work to get it start and upstream won’t maintain the patches, or
- not supporting == go and send your bug reports to the packager, upstream doesn’t have time for this
it’s especially uncool if normally 2. would be the case, but the developers deliberately make the software defective by using fingerprinting/drm to make sure that 1. is the case 
Try browsing #art or related #tags to commission an artist instead of wasting time and money on #NFT.

depol, i guess?
defunding avant-garde music in Germany? this seems oddly familiar from the history books 
@robby isn’t that a lot? the (elixir) process is consuming 110M (out of 4G) for me atm. that said, postgres`takes a lot more for all the connections pleroma has opened…
