I still don’t know how Wine works and I’m a Linux advocate.

I will never buy another Samsung phone or tablet. I was done the moment I started getting notification ads from the Samsung store that I cannot disable.

I can’t even install Rust…

I hate that it came to this, after so many Rust devs left, but all I can say is “Good.”

It happened to a friend who wasn’t passing in the proper types into their stored procedures, all strings, and “null” (not case sensitive) conflicted with actual null values. Everything in the web interface were strings, and so was null.

For some people it takes this mistake before they learn to always care about the data types you’re passing in.

I’ve had mine on vibrate for years. Texting doesn’t trigger it, only calls. It’s been great. I look at my phone only when I’m ready to look at it.

When I see it in a movie I’m watching, I’ll just talk to the TV “So, you’re not going to get on the radio and call for help? You just saw a guy get pulled away into the darkness. No? Wait, you’re going to slowly walk into the darkness? You are the main character after all, so I guess you just want me to see what’s in there. Thanks, I guess.”

I love riffing on bad movies. When the character is finally around other people I’ll say “Oooh, guys… she has a secret! It’s pretty important. Probably something that will kill everyone in the station. I would tell you guys, but I think she wouldn’t want me to share it.”

The aliens haven’t yet consumed our planet in this timeline. Consider yourself lucky.

The Majority Report. It’s awesome. https://m.youtube.com/@TheMajorityReport

What did he whisper in her ear?

The runoff voting downside is incorrect, the “drag the voters up to yellow and watch how it makes red win” example. This is not “see how making yellow more popular makes yellow lose”. It’s actually “see how making red more popular than yellow makes red win”. The movement of the voters is not for yellow, but for red and yellow in a way that gives more voters to red.

There is no way for yellow to be the only candidate to get a boost of voters in the demo. If there were, it would only demonstrate further that yellow would still continue to win.

Runoff voting is the way.

They say it just tastes better. idk. I’m going to try it soon.

Someone just suggested to me that I should be putting my chocolate bars in the freezer first. I’ve never heard of this, but apparently it’s a thing that I’ve been missing out on for a while.

So I guess I’m the one who can’t believe that I don’t do it.

I loved both of these games as a kid.

There are some people who both start and end every gun debate with the “good guy with a gun” argument. Nothing gets through the impenetrable logic of “it makes sense to me”.

If she says “You didn’t ‘lock her up’ like you promised” he’ll just turn it around on her and claim that she should be locked up. Chats of “lock her up!” will begin as they completely ignore anything negative said about him.

Oh, yeah, vim motions are wonderful. I started using them when I installed Linux on my Chromebook due to the lack of a good keyboard setup (I still don’t know where the Delete key is on that thing).

vim (or better yet vim bindings) is great. I’ll never go back.

Neovim. I tried to use it a year ago, but I felt like I was fighting it every time I just wanted to make progress on my project. VSCode doesn’t get in my way. I’m going to give it another shot in a few years.
