I’ve managed to lose an AirTag. I can say for certain it’s somewhere in my bag telling me the battery is low, but I’ve checked all the pockets and I can’t find the thing to change its battery.

I’ve been setting up a curiously large amount of software for acquiring Linux ISOs the last couple of evenings. Think I’ve got it down now, it can automatically find ISOs of interest and then make them available via the ISO viewing software on my TV for ease of browsing.
I see OpenAI have invented Alexa Skills. Lots of copy in this documentation saying how they shouldn’t be used for ads, or promoting users to come back to your company’s app, while these will absolutely be used for ads and feature prompts to come back. https://developers.openai.com/apps-sdk/concepts/design-guidelines/
I introduced the boy to git today (with a UI in VS Code, I’m not a monster), leading to the wonderful question “shall I make a commitment” when a change seemed like it was done. Took me a minute to work out what he meant.
The boy dropped “I want to make a Peak mod” on me this morning. Our history with “I want you to make an X mod” is that we attempt it, everything is terribly documented, and after several hours of getting gradually more annoyed we both lose interest (generally I lose interest a bit after he does).
Shout out to the Peak/Unity games modding community for making it not hateful. He’s added actual code that does something already, even said he enjoyed the process!
I think I need to switch software I’m using for my Fedi instance. Does anyone have a reasonable reference on what needs to happen for followers to stay following me?
I’ve been reminded again of Swatch Internet Time, which has a (still online!) powerfully 90s web page including the mention of someone meeting their cyberfriend.
I think I’ll adopt cyberfriend, it’s better than “the people who live in my phone”, so hello cyberfriends!
@alice @alice_watson I think you owe the dog an apology for all those times they got the blame when it was Trump all along.
@floehopper @issyl0 I increasingly believe most people are cargo culting their git usage and don’t really understand what it’s for and how to use it. See also: commit histories riddled with “changed file.py”… yeah, I know, it’s right there in the diff. Why did you change it?
Today in needy companies: South Western Railway would like me to spend *10 minutes* answering a survey about a recent train journey. That would mean I’d spent longer answering a survey than I did on the journey itself, so I think I’ll decline.
