this is a fucking bold thing to put on the page you get after upgrading firefox to 126 due to the pdfjs vuln

@zip that's actually really good, it might make me consider firefox more

estrogen functions as an antiandrogen. so what happens if i take enough testosterone to counteract that, but still keep taking estrogen. what if i kept my levels of both high. what would happen. would you be happy. would you still love me. would we still be in a deep manic bond, a desire that can only be filled by the mad. would you love me if i balanced my testosterone and estrogen levels. would i love me. would i love you. where would i be. who could i talk to, where could i go. please tell me, please. i need the answer by friday, i have a competition and i haven't found someone to bribe me to fail. please, i don't want people to think i failed on accident again. i don't want them to ridicule me, to laugh at me. would you ridicule me, laugh at me, if i took estrogen and testosterone. would you cheer on my competitor as they lap me time and time again. please tell me

soon™, YoWASP and the Glasgow Interface Explorer will work out of box on Alpine-based systems, once wasmtime binary packages with musllinux are released: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/8668

There's a rule in literary feedback that I feel like tech folks could learn from: assume intentionality.

For example, I saw someone complaining about Copilot appearing on their Windows machine without consent, only to get a reply that they should switch to Linux.

That's a possible solution, and one that I like for myself, but surely the OP didn't just learn about Linux today. They've evaluated that as an option and decided it's not a good option for them.

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@xgranade I assume intentionality: that they know the OP didn't just learn about Linux today, and respond unconstructively on purpose

learning that the platformio folks are a bit... well, you can read for yourself: https://github.com/platformio/platform-raspberrypi/pull/36#issuecomment-1501724359

@gsuberland @jacqueline he's probably russian

what he means is that it's experimental

"for demonstration purposes"

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@gsuberland @jacqueline yeah. also the ceo-posting is probably at least partly done out of fear of being misunderstood due to the language barrier

a lot of the time people claiming language barrier are full of shit but here it seems to be at least partly the issue

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@timonsku @gsuberland @jacqueline yeah, hence "partly"

when is GCC gonna have support for shock collars?
it might help to shock the programmer whenever the compile fails

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@foone that will just result in failing every compilation

leftpaddotpy, to NixOS
@leftpaddotpy@hachyderm.io avatar

Wrote a post on how to do reasonable pinning for non-flake configs using a simple shell script, npins, and nixos-rebuild. I also talk about how tools like nixos-rebuild and nix-channel are skeletons in our closet that we need to actually replace and deprecate as a community, to bring people up to modern practices.

https://jade.fyi/blog/pinning-nixos-with-npins/

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@leftpaddotpy i like channels because i use nixos as a replacement for ansible and having total file-for-file reproducibility is a non-goal (i would previously run unattended upgrades)

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@leftpaddotpy this is true but the reason I use Nix is because it enables me to maintain more infrastructure with less work

so adding more work on top of that (the GHA treadmill or its equivalent for another platform) is just not appealing?

it's not like I would ever really want to roll out an old commit
