Almost all bday party invites for my 4 year old specify "No gifts please" or "No gifts necessary" - and I totally get why, I added it to hers as well. Are we moving towards a society that's not so into gifting? Or is this only a thing at certain income levels?

Honest curiosity: Why do people feel the need to "praise God"? Is God really in need of praise? Does God have poor self-esteem, or something? Did God do something that humans need to encourage? Or is this actually some sort of act for other people somehow - and God doesn't really care?

Added a visualization program to my https://metacpan.org/dist/Synth-Config #perl module. Here's one of the simplest modular patches.

So I went to add US holidays to the "private community site" app I'm finishing up. But found that there is no such (working) #perl module! Wow. So I made one (well two actually): https://metacpan.org/pod/Date::Holidays::USA (and https://metacpan.org/pod/Date::Holidays::Adapter::USA to go along with it). 😅

Vote for @simcop2387 for https://news.perlfoundation.org/post/white-camel-2024-nominations like me! He is a #perl rockstar who has maintained a number of super-valuable tools for perl people on the #IRC for years and years. He has also setup and maintains https://perl.social/community 😀

Both Ghostery and Consent-O-Matic automatically click through cookie consent banners for you (selecting minimal consent). I can highly recommend using one of them, it makes the web easier to browse.

I've only used Consent-O-Matic though, and while it gets rid of most cookie banners, it isn't able to get through all of them, often when companies use "legitimate interest" in their banners.

Has anybody compared the two tools, or knows if Ghostery manages to click-through all cookie banners?

You're not a real Linux enthusiast unless you use a terminal with light opacity so you can see your anime waifu wallpaper in the background while you code.

Canon in probabiliD

totally mangled with {midiblender}, sounds not good, but fun to mess with.

Just wanted to mention that the low-traffic, often off-topic #IRC channel, "#perl-music" is over on irc.perl.org :)

Maybe I'm naive, but I grew up understanding that #capitalism meant simply that "you get to keep the money you earn." So I'm baffled by the seething hatred - especially in America.

Looking to do an update on a #Perl script on the office webserver, I looked up the perldoc for a module and ran into, "PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS MODULE IN NEW CODE". 🤔

nixCraft, 4 months ago to random

No, that code is not encrypted. It is just a Perl code with lots of regexes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Time to start writing my, hopefully accepted, https://tprc.us/tprc-2024-las/ presentations on #musical #AlgorithmicComposition in #perl (beginner & advanced 20 min each)...

From July 5: “It’s sad to see that over and over again, ardent fans of independent #music talk up their support for their favorite artists while continuing to drive down the value of their work.“ https://bigego.com/blog/i-fought-the-spot-and-the-spot-won/ by @jiminfantino

I'm also disheartened by #Spotify's continued #streaming dominance despite unfair compensation. I cringe every time I notice my #dance instructor cueing up playlists on the studio's music PC.

Making a 1-stop portal page for my 96 year old grandma, who uses her Windows computer, but can't remember a lot of details any more... Like where things are, and what tiny thing to click. Using large Bootstrap buttons to open new tabs to her gmail, etc., to launch her LibreOffice, to open her Documents and Downloads folders, etc. All done with Strawberry #perl and #mojolicious of course. 😅

Watching some of the vids coming out of this year's Perl and Raku Conference. Ingy döt؜؜ Net­'s talk on his work on Lingy and YAMLScript was pretty amazing.

Lingy is a #clojure hosted on #perl - Perl code can call Lingy code can call Perl code. The idea of having a Lingy VM with JIT is very appealing.

YAMLScript is a YAML-style dialect of Lingy (or any Clojure implementation), for those who don't like LISP style.
