Как говорила мне однажды некая поэтесса и, по совместительству, историк-балканист: "я вас читаю, потому что мне интересно, какую ещё мерзость вы придумаете".

I just dug to the bottom of my Big Box of Cables to find two cables that I needed for something. They've been in the bottom for 10+ years. So, "when are you ever gonna use these?" was today. Don't ever let anyone take your Big Box of Cables away.
have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.
The year is 2030. Due to the hegemony of coding agents the TUI reigns supreme. GTK and QT are no longer maintained. You open your react-TUI PayPal frontend. Another commission. You press Ctrl+c and type krita-tui. Somehow it loads slower than Photoshop CS6 on an HDD. You start sobbing.

Yesterday in a nutshell:
- Overslept and missed a flight
- Booked another one for 18:55
- Got to the airport
- Looked at the ticket

So I’ve bought a used MacBook Pro M1 (not to be confused with M1 Pro) and got ripped off $30
I still hate the touchbar but the physical Esc button makes it bearable
Set up Pock to add more keys, discovered it only has a builtin widget for the Escape button, so after some SwiftPM + GNU Make shenanigans to avoid installing Xcode I’ve built myself a glorious row of f1, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f12 keys
(Probably the whole thing can fit but I want some fun stuff too)
#graphics folks, I'm thinking of modernizing my undergrad graphics course and move it from OpenGL. Vulkan is too hardcore for an introductory course, Metal & DX12 are not cross-platform enough.
Wdyt, how deranged is it to use native WebGPU?
(maybe even in rust via wgpu)
I once got called a witch by a guy who was so dogshit at arguing, formulating thoughts and generaly reasonning that me making sense when i disagreed with him felt like magic to him (he fucking told me that). So i think everything can be a magic system if you're dumb enough
But I’ve lost a phone with the Philippines SIM, so I’m now changing the number on account to my fresh new Uzbekistan number, and they want to call me to verify
The problem is, I’m a cheapskate and my Uzbekistan SIM is a special M2M SIM and can’t receive calls, only SMS
So I’m trying to restore my cool Russian phone numbers (that I don’t use much because I’m not in Russia) and I need to get a verification code to my Philippines phone number that is set as main number on account of my Russian mobile operator
Honestly the only reason it’s not is because I need to do some clean up on the code and it’s also in a monorepo with some things I’m not ready to release yet. This is a big piece of feedback I’ve received so I’m going to prioritize cleanup and splitting the code.

i'm gonna be real this is the first time that i see someone this blatantly rewriting our GPLv3 code as MIT but it's extremely funny that they didn't even manage to cleanup the LLM comments snitching on themselves
right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer
