photodiodes should be called LADs (light absorbing diodes) instead

it's absolutely ridiculous the amount of boilerplate and redownloading that happens as a result of docker. the fact that the apt cache directories aren't cached between builds, or that there isn't a default caching http proxy to save redownloads is insane. there is so much waste.

i wish everyone who works on docker had to develop for one day a week without internet access.

if your GUI tool doesn't have a link to the source or git repo in the header of your website, i bounce.

if that git repo doesn't have an f/oss license in the /LICENSE, i bounce.

like 99% of the gui clients for postgres (free software) are proprietary crap. imagine using free software tools, building tools atop them, and being so selfish as to try to panhandle for $5. it's the tackiest bullshit.

beauty too rich for use; for earth too dear

So: Twitter, am I surprised? No, not at all.

I'm actually glad they're ripping the mask off of the bias at Twitter, which - as a site with its role in social media - is a terrible thing.

And I'd far rather have a site that allows terrible things to be said than one that keeps me thinking the world is a kind, safe place for me and mine, when it's not.

Someone asked, "Who gets to decide what gets moderated on the Fediverse? And who decides what's seen or unseen?"

You do!

If you don't like someone, block them!

If you don't like an instance, block it!

If you don't like your instance, leave it!

If no instance is to your liking, start your own!

If you don't like other instances, de-federate them!

If you don't like federation itself, turn it off!

Ultimately, the Fediverse gives you the freedom of association—exercise it as you see fit.

The #NixOS experience is fucking up your dev VM on accident, reimaging it from scratch in 5 minutes and then being able to do productivity again in. Fucking hell I love this OS.

imagine single-handedly making EVs popular and cool, bringing internet access to every corner of the inhabited globe, trying to fix LA traffic, and trying to keep the only non-shitty social media site alive and nonbankrupt... and everyone hating you anyway
