Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.

As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

the web dev class was rough today, but for reasons mostly out of my control.

Several Chromebooks had build issues with the downloadable Debian VS Code package, so I had to help them add the MS apt repo and install from there.

We had to do some command line work to set git usernames and emails for commits, so that caused friction.

The VS Code git buttons are TINY. I'm sticking with that for now because their editor skills are growing, but it wasn't very clear how to stage files.

in reply to Brian

I also did something STUPID by committing and pushing a change to main (which they all forked) before giving them a chance to open a PR for the first time. Their branches were out of sync, so that added a layer of complexity today.
in reply to Brian

I'm going to work on a muscle-memory protocol for them to develop. Fire up the local copy, fetch any updates, and then get to work.

Commit when a chunk of work is done. Don't push til you're ready to be done for the day. Don't open a PR until you're _totally_ done with the task.

All good things, but it's going to take time.



I just got a message from xfinity suppport. Apparently I'm experiencing a service interruption and they're really really sorry. They're working on it, they say. Sorry to tell them, my service interruption's gonna be a forever thing.

+22C here yesterday along with the wickedest thunderstorm of the year. it's almost November :face_melting:


I've been sick, and thus unable to work on commissions, or general art, or promote myself as much as usual, and weekly bills are now due :(

I had to duck out of an exhibition this week too because of MH (and then getting sick so I'm glad I didn't go).

I had a lot of little prints made for it, so how's this - if you spend £10+ in my Ko-Fi shop on physical items with postage, I'll send you a random small (4x4 or 6x4) print for free. ❤

If an employer ever asks you to resign, tell them "no".

There is no benefit to resigning unless you have another job lined up already.

Make them fire you. Get your unemployment benefits. Make sure you are legally protected in case of malfeasance. Resigning undermines all of that.

This message brought to you by AWS telling workers to return to office 5-days-a-week by commuting or relocating, or they should resign.

Again, the answer is "no, you'll have to fire me."

EDIT: To clarify, in most areas "fired" and "let go" are not legally meaningful terms and can be used interchangeably. The important term is "for cause" or not. So don't commit misconduct to get fired. Poor job performance is typically not a "for cause" reason, nor is failure to accept changes like RTO

I can’t back this up with data *directly* but I have a firm conviction that there are at least 10x as many people like this as there are useful idiots who will vote for Jill Stein or leave the top of the ticket blank because of some esoteric backwards interpretation of Kropotkin. If you want to help in the home stretch then GOTV will be categorically more consequential than yelling at a guy you made up to get mad at (and you probably already know that) historians.social/@philip_card…
in reply to Glyph

You're probably right. But now I can't help but wonder what Kropotkin said that people are misinterpreting.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt If you have actually read Kropotkin and you're trying to reverse engineer what an actual person might think, you're overthinking it :)

There *is* an actual kind of stupid person who watches streamers react to video essays where the essayist might cite Kropotkin; this sort of person is likely to be far left, and to care a lot about e.g. Gaza, and maybe even say stuff about how electoralism is bad and " we need revolution". But that's not who I'm talking about…

There's where airPods pro come in quite nicely. Trust me on that one.
in reply to Carlos Blanco

@cublanco Oh, I'm sure. Those are way out of my budget though. Heck, the standard airpods are out of reach.


I had to use Quicktime and screen-record this, because #SeeingAI doesn't allow you to save videos, or not that I could work out at least. Anyway, here's a test with a video Kirsten sent me this morning, in which Alice is driving a car around a track in Disneyland.
in reply to Andre Louis

Wow! That’s so cool. I wonder how it’s doing all of this? with updates it will get even better.

My matrix dart sdk talk from #matrixconf 2024. All things considered I am pretty satisfied with it, especially considering it's my first completely solo talk.

Working on a prototype in PocketPages. It's a bit rough around the edges but rapidly improving, and I'm having a blast.

Feels like the good parts of old school PHP development, with database and schema management built in, the ability to fall back to Go when you need it, real-time support and a Dart SDK for Flutter, plus other community-supported client APIs of course. About the only thing missing for me is switching SQLite out for something like Postgres if your prototype ever grows large enough, but since 90+% of them won't, I'm just not sweating it.

in reply to Nolan Darilek

Does that stack have any kind of support for real-time updates with WebSockets? That's one thing I still like about Phoenix.
in reply to Matt Campbell

If you specifically mean WebSockets, no, it uses SSE. So polling instead, but it does batch everything over one connection at least. pocketbase.io/docs/api-realtim…

I arrived at my GGSE English "Creative Writing" exam having not prepared whatsoever. I plagiarised the song Little Lady by Ed Sheeran word-for-word, receiving an A* for discussing the topic of sex trafficking & child exploitation which ultimately leads to the protagonists death.


#LibreOffice 24.2.7 is now available – the final planned update to the 24.2 branch, which reaches end-of-life in November. After that, all users are recommended to upgrade to the new stable branch, LibreOffice 24.8: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware

LibreOffice reshared this.

in reply to MCN

@mcn Can you provide the actual version number of LibreOffice? Also, .xlsx is Microsoft's format. If you save the file in LibreOffice's format (the open and standardised ODF, so .ods) then close LibreOffice and open the .ods, is there a difference?
@MCN
in reply to LibreOffice

Version 24.2.7.2 is a little bit better - only 1GB of RAM, even with ods file. It is really sad that in comparision to Excel, overall responsivnes is unacceptable in real business environment ☹️

"People from other parts of the world are genetically pre-disposed to crime" and are "poisoning the blood of Americans" should be career-ending for any public figure.

Anyone who votes in support of such ideas should be ashamed.

This should not be controversial.

Reminder!

URL handling differences between URL parser implementations are to be expected.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

to be expected, sure. But should differences in URL handling behavior from different parsers be accepted as the right behavior going forward?
in reply to Andrew Kaster

@akaster I don't see how it can be avoided for as long as we can't agree on a single *fixed* URL specification. Which for some reason seems to be impossible to achieve.
