@sophiegarrett it really is a whole thing. Every now and then someone outside will make uninformed comments on how this thing must happen and, well, it’s never like they imagine.
Amazon want me to return the ear syringe that cracked after one ear. I’ve decided not to include the tip that’s been in my ear canal and included a small note for whichever unfortunate person gets tasked with unpacking the return so they’re not wondering.
@hughrawlinson @xenia I absolutely feel you on the original question. Somehow there no longer seems to be an option for “I just want some sanely structured code to put content in a browser” like there was back in the days of PHP being everywhere. (Or maybe my idea of “sanely structured” has changed)
@hughrawlinson @xenia +1 for FastAPI, although from what I’ve done of it I wish it was a bit more batteries included, I suspect for anything complex you’re going to end up pulling in additional packages.
Messaging apps should allow me to flag people as doing this. Anyone with that flag would get a cooldown placed on notifications so that I’m not left wondering what’s so urgent.

@Thayer they’re still out there (thank god, or I’d probably be raising alpacas by now). It’s a job and thus has its annoyances but there’s not a week goes by I’m not thankful to be working at a company which is doing something meaningful with a team who care, are highly competent, and also just lovely to spend time with. demandlogic.co.uk, where we’re sadly not hiring at the moment or I’d be forwarding this straight to the person responsible.
@mdione my lights are all automated, if I walk into the bathroom while my flat is aware I’m meant to be sleeping the light turns on but at the lowest possible level.
@AoifeGreenhamIllustrations @nette this post has literally made me realise (at 1130pm as I go to bed) the reason I’ve been grumpy and dissatisfied with the world all day is that I forget to take my medication this morning, so, uhh, yeah.
@th @elizabethtasker imagine how long you’d be twiddling that adjustment dial to get a person size wrench down to the correct gap for an M2 nut.
How is Apple Podcasts so catastrophically unable to reliably sync the point I stopped playing on my Apple HomePod? The whole sales point on those things is “just tap your phone on it and what you’re playing will transfer over”, what’s unwritten there is “but we’ll be fucked if it resumes where you left off next time you pick your phone up”.
@ipsquiggle for me they’re a good thing that are deeply problematic in our current society because they exist to take away jobs from people who are in a precarious position. Automating tedious and often physically demanding jobs would be great if people didn’t depend on those jobs to prevent their families from starving.
Today in ways my brain is broken: someone posting a map with one pin in entirely the wrong place and almost immediately going “lat/lon have been entered back to front”.
@catsalad not what I expected as I waited for the image to load, and now I want a coffee mug where the opening at the top is shaped like a cat’s butthole to give to guests.
@Dragon @jonty @Edent my ISP recently started offering 2.5G for about £20 a month more and I refuse to buy it because then I’d feel compelled to replace a bunch of network hardware which is perfectly fine for what I do in order to download a AAA game in 5 minutes rather than 10 every six months or so.
@grajohnt I do like a standalone trackpad for most things but it’ll depend on what you’re doing regularly, I keep a mouse tucked away for when I break out the CAD software/first person shooters.
@Thayer I’m giving two, but wearing different hats:
With my volunteer lead hat on: Pick up a volunteer shift or two (they’ll be available on the website), it’s what makes the event work, also it’s genuinely fun hanging out with people you wouldn’t otherwise while maybe learning a new skill.
With my long time attendee hat on: Don’t fill your schedule for the weekend, leave big gaps to just do whatever takes your fancy or chat shit with whoever happens to be in the bar.
@zandra the key advantages are a) they can’t be passed to an attacker who’s on the phone with you even if you try and b) they’re immune to domain typos/convincing looking fake login pages because they will *only* trigger for the domain they were created for.
@zandra because they’re substantially more secure than the alternatives (but they come with a bunch of caveats currently around not ending up with them spread across multiple passkey stores without noticing)
