This is Ted. Ted decided to lay her eggs on the edge of our driveway.

Ted is a snapping turtle and a “threatened” species. We have friends who love turtles and we’re like “You must protect!”

I just ran out of, and subsequently replaced the lead in this pencil, and holy 💩! It was absolutely transformational. It went from a good pencil to a great pencil.

In case you’re curious, i refilled it with Pilot Neox High-Purity Graphite pencil lead 0.5mm B hardness

Do any of you know of a package that lets me use slack / mastodon style emoji insertion?

Between Mastodon & Rocket (awesome macOS app) I keep starting to type : foo : instead of going to M-x insert-char

Obviously we can't just use : foo : because programming languages use colons all the time, but surely there's something similar we can do like !: foo :! or whatever.

🤔 I can't remember a language that combines colons and bangs.

@viz ooh thanks Visuwesh. I’ll look into that when I get back to my computer.

@howard @al3x is was not familiar with the keybindings you mentioned but my goal is to insert them without having to invoke a keybinding while typing.

Preferably with a visual overlay/autocomplete as i whittle down the matching options

Related question: what is the deal with this particular type of cable and external hard drives?

Why does this cable exist?

It doesn’t seem like it can be a throughput speed thing because it’s a standard USB-A on the other end. But we’ve gotten multiple drives over the years that have this cable. I don’t understand.

I just found a USB-C to lightning cable. I feel like this is Apple’s way of giving people the finger.

It’s like “ fuck you. We don’t want to stop making lightning cables we like them and we don’t care what you want.”

@massa OK but as that data and power are both successfully passing through a USB-A on the other end why make this thing? Why not just have it be USB-A at both ends? This USB had long since become cheap commodity hardware.

masukomi,
@masukomi@connectified.com avatar

@flaki yes. The other end is USB-A, which is why I am so confused.

Er it’s blue nevermind.

masukomi,
@masukomi@connectified.com avatar

@flaki to be clear I don’t know what the difference between white and blue is. And I feel like surely it would’ve been cheaper to use USB-A at both ends. Does having a socket for one of these things make something easier with circuit board design?

@massa ahh. Thanks. I was extremely expecting to get answers on these. 🙇‍♀️

masukomi,
@masukomi@connectified.com avatar

@masto heh. It was getting hard to close a while ago, so i threw out all the cables that only worked in devices we didn't have anymore. I also threw out like half of the USB-A to USB-micro and i still have like 10 of them somehow. 🤦‍♀️

masukomi,
@masukomi@connectified.com avatar

@massa I meant in the sense of why not use a standard USB-A cable with one male and one female end? If whatever's passing through it has to work in USB-A at one end why introduce a different end to the cable (with a conversion chip?)?

Why not use the cheap commodity connection on both ends? HOw does introducing this different funky, and presumably more expensive end benefit the manufacturer or the consumer?

I'm trying to get to the WHY BOTHER rather than the what.

@massa 🤔 Hmm, "because that's what Jack did and no-one cared enough to argue the point" is a pretty common reason for WTFs in software dev.

@sammycola I feel like an idiot but I'm just not getting how it helps anything to have a cable with one end with lots of "cool features" if the other end being "bog standard" like, either the bog standard end DOES support all the cool features, in which case "why bother?" OR it doesn't in which case "why bother?"

[edit Someone else gave me the missing piece. USB micro doesn't support USB 3.0. They wanted thin, but couldn't use micro. ]

@soft it’s important to keep the seeds together until it’s time to plant. Otherwise you end up with like, a bunch of sesame bagel plants and those are fine, but…

I made a little website for my book. Before I publish it, is there any feedback you have? Does it answer all your questions? Are there bugs? Is anything missing? Thank you! ❤️

@Meyerweb photophobic people who have trouble with how damn bright the web is (like me) browse with tools like Dark Reader. Here’s what i saw whaen i viewed it on my phone.

I know this is niche and nitpicky, but it is an accessibility issue, and it’s a book about accessibility .

I'm seriously thinking about quitting Duolingo, because the more advanced the conjugations get the less clue i have what the fuck is going on because they literally Never explain Anything.

Ex. In "el" means "from" & "de" means "of"

I came FROM the United States
Mi venis EL Usono.

The House OF Usher
La domo DE Usher.

and yet, it's insisting that when you go FROM France to Germany it's

...DE Francio al Germanio

and that EL Franco is definitely wrong.

WHY?!

@HighlandLawyer @jrdnzr I had 100% forgotten that the PMEG existed. When I first encountered it I didn't have enough vocabulary.

Just glanced at it now and it seems I have enough to muddle through & get the missing words from context. :D Yay learning. 🎉
