Be sure to check your kid's candy this year! I found a "be sure to check your kid's candy this year" meme in a chocolate bar

IRC: probably works fine with clients and servers from 20+ years ago

Discord: needs to install 15 updates because I haven't launched it since yesterday

PHP tip: you can write 0 (zero) as 0_0 for added emotion.

if ($balance == 0_0) {  
 panic();  
}

Today is my birthday!

If you'd like to do something for me for my birthday, would you please reply to this with—or by other means send me— something with colors you liked? Like an image or a video or a link. Music would also be acceptable if it gives you a strong synesthesiac association with color.

If this request confuses you, here are some examples of images with colors I found striking [Artists: Laurie Barmore, Vian Borchert, Erica Aurahack]. But your reply can be whatever colors you like.

I think we've got enough computing power now. How about we stop replacing perfectly good computers and phones every 1-2 years.

To me, social media today is like Cars vs. Bikes.

Cars (& big social media) are convenient, comfortable, dehumanising, dangerous (individually and on a global scale), and "normal."

Bikes (& fedi) ask you to give up some of the comforts for a more human, more sustainable experience. There are different norms and affordances and some compromises. Hopefully we unlearn bad habits and redesign our environments along the way.

It shouldn't be painful but it does ask you to change your perspective.

I like to say "Crisp Rat" instead of "Chris Pratt" and see if anyone notices

Politics are basically impossible to casually understand these days. You hear about a bill with a name like "Family Safety and Child Education Act" and it bans prenatal care while funding genocide in Africa or something.

Due to misplaced optimism, my standup update is always, "I should have a PR out later today." I am always wrong but I will continue saying it anyway

You work at a place long enough, and sometimes the answer to "Who created this cool thing that just saved me a ton of time?" is "oh, I created that"

I finally emailed my reps about KOSA using the EFF form. It's pretty straightforward and you can customise the message if you want. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-kosa-will-censor-the-internet-but-won-t-help-kids

Decathlon put "Consider deleting this email to have a positive impact on the planet" in the footer of their marketing email. Howsabout you consider not sending it in the first place? 🙄
