…So how exactly does this propaganda machine work? How can so many Americans have the truth of Trump’s failing mind and the blatant (and banal) evil of all the billionaires and politicians hidden from them? Or is their internet completely different? How can we pop these information bubbles? Why does this all have to fucking suck

Great job! Quit 5+ years ago, though I’ve slipped and had a couple in that time. Not buying 'em was the biggest thing. Still want one whenever I see actors smoking in a movie or show… so the craving never quite goes all the way away.

I never realized how much it makes you smell until I stopped and could immediately smell it on anyone, no matter how hard they tried to hide it.

Definitely keep it, looks great!

Beat me to it! Such a beautiful painting

Fkn love Kedgeree. Wife and I have a tradition on our anniversaries of making a fancy meal together, which is how I first tried this dish! Thanks for the recipe, will be cooking it next time we make it

Makes me think of the comic East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta. The character of Death rode a robot horse:

Beautiful pencil work

☝️I also have this question.

I’m on programming.dev, and like it here! But also I have been thinking I would like to create a snowboarding community, ane it doesn’t really fit the vibe… so I’ll have to go do it on a separate instance probably.

*looks at wallet

*looks at steam deck

*squints eyes at wallet

…

Still wondering if and when is the right time to buy one. I may be in the market for a new personal laptop (non-gaming) first before I can consider getting a deck. C’est la vie

😂 Thanks for the chuckle – though also… I’d read that I think

For fuck’s sake just name him

Using Voyager App on Android, it appears that the syntax highlighting defaults to SQL for code blocks without a specified language?

Strange

Went climbing at the gym, went snowboarding, working on setting up the *arr stack + kodi on a raspi5 for a friend. I’m curious to see how well it performs with downloading and serving video content. Getting a (pretty old, well-used creality) 3d printer out of it… new hobby??

I’ve heard this from other educators as well! What do you think the ramifications are down the line with people knowing less and less about how computers actually function?

I mean, I guess mechanics have jobs because most people know how to use a gas pedal and steering wheel, but not how an internal combustion engine works?

Weirdest one for me yet

From what we saw (from 5-ish to 8pm), there were cops & protesters directing traffic, and it seemed there were a decent amount of people in the march we did on the streets surrounding the capitol – part of it we went down Broadway. I saw some numbers on Mastodon that earlier in the day it got to 4,000 people. Don’t know the actual tally though.

I’m 5-6 years into my career now, and there are still a couple greybeard-level types I can ask when I run into a real puzzle, but the need to do so has been shrinking as the years have gone on; I’ve gotten better at finding my own answers. During my first job I was on two different teams where a mentor took me under their wing. These were people who I could turn to for design advice, technical questions, insight on best practices, etc. For me, as a curious and extroverted person, this was invaluable learning experience.

Your experience may be different, but to me it’s always good to have a solid group of people (coworkers, internet social network, even just stack overflow) I can rubber duck to or ask for input, discuss new technologies, learn from or learn with.

Coding a project of significant size is a collaborative process, and I think you’ll find that if you approach it with openness and curiosity, you’ll end up with mentors, peers, and mentees of your own at any given time.
