I just went to put a paintbrush in some paint, one side of the brush hit the edge of the water jar hard, I lost control of it and it flipped up, somersaulted twice, flew over my desk lamp, hit the window, and then landed in a potted plant.
I walk through life knowing there are Olympic gold medals waiting for me, in events that don't yet exist.
I once saw this blogpost (I believe linked by @niko) about how critical it is to design applications to work on low-bandwidth with good UI/UX for that scenario, or preferably offline-first
honestly, I don't remember that blogpost mentioning not just stuff like the update UX or other bandwidth-heavy tasks, but even less heavy tasks like just sending a message
I feel that's overlooked often, and I'm honestly glad that XMPP, Delta.Chat and good ol' IRC help me in these times where my connection fucking stinks
"Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site Tuesday in the Park Avenue neighborhood after being confronted by more than 100 protestors.
The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed."
Just looked at the 1:1 of a low light picture taken by an android phone (not sure of the brand).
A painting of Monet is more realistic.
This is what all the camera manufacturer force people to use by no making a nice compact camera that doesn't cost an arm an a leg.

I set my personal blog up so it approves all followers automagically (Soapbox), because I'm fine with anyone following me what wants to, and I don't want to be bothered with new followers in my alerts. However I'd like to know who my new followers are because there's a chance I might want to reciprocate, so is there a way to check this, maybe friends, group: followers... Sort by date added maybe?
That's how mine's set, anyone can follow me, but I have to manually choose to follow them back.
remember when they bent the 6 or 6S was it?

amazing
mother in interview:
> well i bet everyone has committed a crime before and never got caught. Like drinking and driving.
so is she just projecting she's a drunk driver too?

K AI pristupuju hodne kriticky a tak jsem rad, ze si muzu do sbirky anekdot pridat success story s AI a vyrobou hodne narocneho kusu kodu.
V nedeli v noci jsme se domluvili, ze Single od Quin spustime v nove podobe UI s custom SnapDrawerem™
Naflakal jsem verzi s AI za 6 hodin cisteho casu (3 hodiny pred deadlinem) a dnes 4 hodiny cistil.
Ve finale jsem spokojeny i s vystupem i s kodem.
Single tu:
unreleased.art/zip
Do SnapDraweru pribude i cool sticky music player!
Kdyz uz jsem se teda prsil tou success story, tak pridam k dobru i review od kolegy. Chtel jsem trochu kritiky, abych si nakalibroval, jak moc je AI kod v pohode ... v zasade nasel nekolik problemu:
- jedna kriticka chyba pri pojmenovani data stavu scrollview, nesedeli stringy
- 2x zbytecne definovani stejnych veci
- pouzivani deprecated React featur (forwardRef). Tohle jde za mnou, protoze poctive upgraduju pres ncu.
- clumsy animace. Pro animace proste nemam cit, radsi je vsecky zrusit!

Deleting the Stocard importer from Catima because Stocard no longer exists feels so... anticlimatic.
I wish I could call it an "end of an era", but I can't. Everything is still the same. Big companies still mistreat us horribly and GDPR enforcement is still a joke. Literally nothing changed. It took *4 years* for my GDPR complaint on Stocard's partial exports to receive a decision which basically was... "Stocard can give incomplete data (because they have lawyers and you don't)".

Will we ever have freedom of moving our data as we please? The GDPR has such good ideas about it, but enforcement has been so lacking that I don't think it will ever safe us in practice.
I want GDPR enforcement so badly. These laws are good, well-designed, thought-through. Please enforce them. Please, EU, please :(

okay but if this is the standard we're going to set I hope we can stick to it for all crimes where someone didn't know they were being asked to do something illegal

in reply to Alexia Starling • • •in other words, if you want something that is quick, I'd recommend XMPP or delta.chat :]
also I'm just a shill for delta in general, they've done some pretty damn cool work and continue to do so on the budget of (relative to other projects) literal pennies
