Hey Millennials. Gen X here.

I saw a post from one of you guys that read "Our retirement plan is social collapse".

Our retirement plan when we were growing up well into adulthood was thermonuclear oblivion.

I get where you're coming from, but I would suggest having a Plan B for just in case when civilization doesn't collapse on schedule.

an alarming number of InfoSec professionals seem incapable of recognizing that, yes, someone can just walk right up to you and hit you until you unlock your computer.

@konnorrogers @tixie I'd recommend kitty. It's just a better terminal emulator than iTerm in general.

I actually don't mind the rain. I'm just hoping that we don't get like a summer's worth of it before June and then nothing for the following three months, just like the last two years have been like.

These four screenshots comprising of a 30-tweet thread you did on X could have been a blog post.

Ironically, the screenshots were all properly alt-texted. I mean, if you went through the effort, you could have just posted... the text.

Aw. I just got called a "young fellow" on the fedi.

Corollary: No matter how old you get, when you mention your age on the Internet you get like five dudes replying all going "48?? Pfft. You're practically still wearing diapers!"

@lukem When I was twenty I was convinced I wouldn't make it to forty. It just seemed completely incomprehensible to me.

Haha, I have to ask people, because I can't Google it: ARE there any good search engines out there? Ones that still actually search the internet?

zalasur,
@zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net avatar

@mishellbaker I've asked that one myself and followed another thread by someone asking that same question, and the general consensus is that the best alternative at the moment is DuckDuckGo.

@ai6yr Norwegians who come to visit Minnesota are honestly confused why we consider Lutefisk a delicacy over here. "It's gross." and "We have refrigerators now." are the usual observations made.

Just an FYI, I did not get hacked. I replied to somebody with a long CW that originated from the Georgia Humane Society as a joke apparently. When you reply to a post with a CW your post automatically has that CW, too.

That made it look like I was posting a singles ad from my account.

I've deleted my post just in case anyone got the wrong impression.

It's been almost a decade since I've done a live coding stream. This will be fun!

Today I'll be migrating my website from React to Lit, which is a lightweight framework built around web components. I have the scaffolding set up mostly, so now it's time to get this done.

Come watch. Ask questions in chat! You don't need to create an account, just a username is needed to participate.

The difference between using async/await in typescript vs is that the rust compiler routinely asks "are you sure about that??"

More times than not it's a good thing.

Ah ha! I figured out why I was having issues with the rollup tool previously. Once I got past that stubborn error, the rest of the comfort was pretty easy.

I think I'll be able to do that technical stream tomorrow. The web page redesign project is a go!

@zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net avatar

Ok, we're set for a techie stream after lunch. This is different from my normal gaming streams. I won't do a whole lot of talking and will have some copyright-free music playing in the background. Come join me in my adventures in neovim!

@MLE_online ah, autocorrect. That was supposed to be "Vox wifi", but "pox" is probably somehow appropriate. ๐Ÿ˜…
