It's taken me only fourteen years to realize "Downton Abbey" is spelled with one 'w' only.

Sur Twitter, plein de mes tweets sont retweetés ce matin par des bots nommés Sara, Samantha, Sandra et Selena. Je sens que l'auteur du bot a un schéma de nommage.

@shane_kerr did you notice 'yum' ?

jpmens,
@jpmens@mastodon.social avatar

@gjherbiet @shane_kerr yes, so do I. I think it was @unixtippse who convinced me to do that, and I don't regret a thing (surprisingly).

Actually the only reason I notice is my screen/tmux sessions restart when I do login.

@fulax it should be shell, yes, but this is so awful it doesn’t matter ;)

“Heute keine Kartenzahlung!” is a periodic reminder to me that there’ll always be cash to be had in Germany, and that’s a very fine thing.

@individual8

blödsinn. "keine kartenzahlung" bedeutet nicht "kasse funktionniert nicht".

One of the most awful terms American English has made popular in the world is 'guys'.

I (literally but won't use that term here) cringe when I hear South Americans, Europeans, Asians, etc. say "hi guys" when encountering or addressing a diverse group of people.

@jeroen it isn’t, at least not in my experience in the usa. In the workplace and in movies: “hi guys!” when a young woman approaches women.

"Last existing copy" of archie? Really?

I didn't have a copy of the source code, but that's because I rely on y'all mirroring all the shit

I badly want a collaborative markdown editor that:

  • Supports folders, and linking to other notes
  • Works well on mobile
  • Has fine grained permissions
  • Is open source and self-hostable
jpmens,
@jpmens@mastodon.social avatar

@thibaultamartin no permission system that I can see, but I've been using Joplin for several years, and I think it ticks most of your points

@thibaultamartin that's a very balanced write-up, and I agree with you about Joplin's iOS app being 'suboptimal'. Even so, I think I've become used to it, so there's that. :)

I've always wanted to ask but have never dared to. Now I'm feeling up to it.

Is there any way to swap / change icons of these output devices on macOS?

The Sennheiser are my headphones and the Soundcore is my speaker, but in the status bar they invariably have the wrong icon.

jpmens,
@jpmens@mastodon.social avatar

@doekman what you are showing me there looks a lot like iOS or iPadOS

on macOS it's not possible, at least not in the BlueTooth menu

jpmens,
@jpmens@mastodon.social avatar

@doekman thanks for your suggestion, but I won't. First, it might break something and I'm too old for breakage. Second it'll likely be reset at next update which turns it into a never-ending story.

I'll suffer through it. :)

@ondrej

just last night I learned the term 'buckle bunny' https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/buckle_bunny

Maybe y'all need a similar term for the IT world? ;)
