I write a bunch of code (mainly Python), have cats, tinker with and detail cars, and fiddle with FreeBSD. I like taking (making?) photos. Playing with Internet stuff since '96. Interested in kernels, protocols, and inner workings in general. Intermittent cyclist. Cloudy Amazonian, and they tell me my opinions are my own.

“The optician said I looked nice today”
“Mine said I should expect my vision to fail in five years because of my age and that the style of my glasses was out of date”

@danieldurrans The recovery for the latter seemed to be “buy new glasses” — it wasn’t clear for the former.

@coffeegeek @coffee Regarding the point about releasing the CO2, is there any research on that? Or is it just the air trapped between the grounds? I see it said in a lot of guides but would be interested in any science behind it :)

@MonaApp since 6.0 or 6.1, links in posts are truncated to (I think) 30 chars for display. Is this an option I’ve missed? It’s very annoying :(

I got a scam robocall earlier today from a premium rate number to tell me that Amazon had just debited my visa card for $714.thingummy, and to stay on line to talk to a Visa representative. So I hung up.

Clues it's a fraud: I'm a Brit: I have a Visa card, but I have never dealt with Visa directly. Visa is a franchise in the UK and my card is issued by my bank, who don't handle suspicious transactions that way.

(Also, it's easy to check my Amazon transactions: liar, liar, pants on fire!)

@daveybot @revk @cstross I went the other way and responded with “yes it was a terrible accident, and unfortunately I was killed” and then just waited silently

In theory you should be able to follow this test user:

@你好

But I can't find any Fediverse software which actually supports non-ASCII usernames.

If you are able to see the user, its description, and its avatar - please send me a screenshot 🙂
