I guess I don't have to mention this here with all the lefties, but if you don't want the far right to have a lot to say in the EU, you should totally go vote this Sunday.

In Belgium, far right parties are already talking about stripping LGBTQ rights, for example. 😠

Another episode in the life of having a é in my name, when people don't accept "non English letters" whatever that means?. Would you tell Beyoncé she can't use her name on your site?

I got a whole talk on the topic, by the way: https://stephaniewalter.design/blog/hello-my-name-is-stephanie-talk-encoding-special-characters-issues-poor-user-experience/

The way things are going right now, I'm planning to stay on Windows 10 and never upgrade to 11.

My Vim plugin manager broke, so I switched to a new one. Find out how that excitingly geeky adventure unfolded! 😁

As a dev, you should totally automate all the things. It's so enjoyable having scripts you can just run and do all the nitty-gritty for you.

The reason why Microsoft Recall attracts huge amounts of hate, while TimeSnapper.com has generally positive customer interactions comes down to 3 things:

Motive Weapon Opportunity.

I don’t have a motive to surveill the world, Microsoft have shareholders, middle managers etc.

Weapon - We both write software that could be used for harm. But we’re genuine about user’s informed ongoing consent, having filters etc.

Opportunity - we don’t have enough servers to spy on people. MS do.

Lost a half day of work because the GitLab runner suddenly switched to sh instead of bash, and some obscure script lines in the YAML failed because of that. Yay for GitLab and having to do it all yourself.

So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq #Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?

I'm so sorry.. I can't resist. Still can't believe this.

You only have yourselves to blame.

Is it bad fediquette to delete a toot when you find out that reply has pretty much been done 10x already and the person replied to it several times?

Because I might have just done that.

My parents are both dying of cancer right now. This is unquestionably the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. I would never wish this upon my worst enemy (not that I have a lot). I cant sleep. I can’t eat. I want to smash my skull into a brick wall. But my family needs me now

#Fedivision votes are in.
I ended up voting for EMPW BKTH & BLAH
Lots of good things in there though. My shortlist was 7 tunes I really liked also including BELT NEUT TASS & UDIL

@defaultmediatransmitter I consider putting Amens in cheating, because I can't resist that 😁

@socool when your track came up in my playlist while I was working, I was like: wait? what is this? this is nice, do I know this? Then it hit me it was yours. 😁 Lovely track. So nice.

Is the #Vim plugin manager Vundle broken?
When I use :PluginSearch I get a bunch of errors now.

Is Bing down? DDG gives me errors, and bing.com doesn't seem to load. 😂

Microsoft's "Recall" is similar to "TimeSnapper", that Atli and I have been developing and distributing for the past 17 years or so.

I'm fascinated by the reaction that Microsoft get, compared to what we receive at TimeSnapper.

People are naturally curious about performance impacts, and hope to keep all data local. But when "we" (TimeSnapper) say the data stays on your machine, customers just believe us.

Microsoft, meanwhile, is emphatically not trusted.

They earned that reputation.

I’m only just now learning about #gabber, recommendations pls.

vjousse, 1 month ago to vim French

I'm about to update my book on #vim but as I am now mostly using #neovim, I'm a little bit outdated about #vim plugin management. What would you recommend instead of pathogen (for vim, not for neovim)?
