With all the AI nonsense coming to operating systems I’m weirdly glad lots of important orgs are 10 years behind the curve.

Saw someone talking about skills trees for real life, and remembered that way back in 2019, I actually started making one for chemistry. Might be worth returning to as a great distraction.

Me, today: Fuck.

• 34 counts is a lot of counts
• a trump first and foremost means a fart, never forget that

Pff what a day :sad_cat:

Hello and a good meowing :nkoWave:

This morning I woke up with a massive pain in my stomach that kept getting worse

With a bit of panic we rushed to the first aid but there they refused to help me since I had to go to the "doctor first" and take an asprin :nkoFacepalm2: (someone should lose their job)

So when looking for an alternative I could not hold it anymore and we called the ambulance on the parking place

So I went in the ambulance to the hospital today

Quick git tip. If you want to remove any local branches that have since been merged you can run this.

git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|dev|main)" | xargs git branch -d  

I have it as a TextExpander shortcut, but you could also add an alias

It looks for any branch that isn't dev or main (add any you always want to keep around) that has been merged in and deletes them.

This is helpful if you rely on tab-to-autocomplete a lot

Giving Tootoise a go as an iOS client for Mastodon.

No, you picked the client based on the cute name and icon.

The English contribution to world culture started with Black Sabbath and ended with Napalm Death.

I think my next tattoo is going to be a wizard.

I have some loose styles in mind (think Discworld) but I’d love inspiration from the Masto Hivemind.

Send me your favourite wizard pics/drawings/creators

Let’s make a really rad thread of wizard inspiration!
