Boost if you've recently attended a "poorly run small music venue" that actually managed to put on a show

@erbridge @alice annoyingly, not currently. Is this a “they need a job now” thing, because we’re working on drastically reducing wasted energy in commercial real estate, and will likely be hiring in the nearish future.

Please donate to my kickstarter raising money to send a list of adjectives that can be used instead of “insane” to YouTubers.

@gsuberland I’m very split on some of that stuff if it’s the same as it was when I last read it. Secure auth and commitment to security updates is a big win. Requiring signed firmware less so if you care about being able to continue using things once the vendor abandons them.

The problem with replying to emails is that shortly afterwards there are more emails to reply to.

@james in contrast, I very much like having them in separate places, because I use them in different contexts, and I think they have different requirements in terms of UI.

holy shit. they actually called it "reply guy". seeing the Torment Nexus and copying it for profit is one thing, but seeing a reply guy and being like "I can monetize that" is a whole new type of evil.

Today in the week that keeps on giving, the washing machine is broken. I think it’s filling up with water but it then refuses to spin, I’d kind of been hoping for a quiet morning rather than one in which I crack open a washing machine.

@sophiegarrett @moraghickman oh that’s fantastic! Truly this year’s artwork is the gift that keeps on giving.

Full stack engineer: when you're routinely baffled how anything works at all, regardless of where in the computer

One day I’ll learn that it takes me at least 20 minutes to get up off the sofa and go to bed when I decide it’s time to go to bed. Today was not that day, so I’m once again going to bed later than planned.

@simon the team that built Ruff recently released uv, which is pretty promising if their past form is anything to go by.

@mayaisloading save money to buy a house by living with parents and renting out the apartment you bought with the money your parents gave you.

@mayaisloading if you simply move countries every [notice period] months then you never have to pay any rent to landlords.

@hugh oh amazing, I can help out my Ethiopian uncle as well. They’ll all be so happy.

@hugh do I have some good news for you. There’s a sheik I know who’s having some issues with his bank, if you just send them all to me then I can get the bank to transfer you his millions.

I hope this email finds you no matter where you're hiding.

@pikesley must be a day that ends in Y.
