@gabboman @dansup it makes dev fast, and it encourages consistency. that's my 2 cents.

though even as a regular tailwind user making a button and needing a widescreen monitor to see all of the classes is still pretty gross to me.

Who knew a crime drama / documentary about backporting .NET to Windows 95 could be so exciting.

I have some great news that I can’t wait to share! Before I spill the beans, tell me some good news of your own!

Did you know you can put a leash on an ant in "Minecraft Create" and lead it over to a train you designed yourself, then give the ant a train schedule and it will drive around and pick things up and drop them off?

I feel like this mod is stalking me and trying to eat my free time.

@futurebird Ah okay. Out of curiosity, have you ever played "Grounded"? That has been my go-to ant game, but I've been looking for others.

I noticed quite a few trees that had been debarked higher up in their crowns.
That's the work of a Porcupine aka Stachelschwein.
Beavers eat bark from the ground up, Porcupines start from a safer height further up.

If I were rich enough I’d

  1. Buy google adsense a huge buy
  2. target ads at myself: audience of one
  3. make ads transparent zero width images
  4. Experience peace at last.

Why can’t they sell a “no ads” global package? I have blockers on most of my computers and phones but now and then I still see ads and I can’t deal with it. I know I can pay more than these people with their little before and after images of gross skin— and the ads for games that don’t exist and gambling ads.

This could have happened two years sooner but Trump appointed EPA people blocked it.

One of them was Nancy Beck of the EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.

Before working at the EPA, she was an executive at the American Chemistry Council, a chemical industry lobbying group for FIVE years!

Why can't we get those revolving door laws? So, you can't be at the EPA after OR before being a lobbyist?

The reporting on this in papers is terrible.

@gintoxicating I opened Mastodon to see someone's reply about the red things on the edge of a solar eclipse being solar prominences larger than the Earth itself and now I gotta find out what caused the downfall of the Byzantine empire.

Aruba just backed up their entire country's history on the Internet Archive btw, that felt relevant somehow.

@excerpta @gintoxicating Thanks, I like your version best!

The short-answer I was getting from the internet was that "it was a little bit of everything", but your explanation better paints the picture.

Is there a good, relatively high end ARM or RISC-V laptop available that I could install Linux on?

I'm thinking about something along the lines of the recent ARM-based MacBooks, but not Apple.

chris_hayes,
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org avatar

@urusan @system76 might have an opinion. I don't think they have any ARM laptops, but I imagine they must be at least looking at it.

kentoseth, to ai

Do you know how won't be taking your job any time soon?

AI could not help a forever-beginner like me to create a manifest for a application called Caster (which is voice-control of the desktop).

But do you know who can help? It is you, the smart, talented FLOSS community who collectively built the Open Source ecosystem. Now is your chance to help again, let's get Caster across Linux distros. End carpal/cubital tunnel!

@kentoseth Castor is neat, it's focus is programming by dictation, is that right? I use TalonVoice atm, by comparison it seems more general purpose.

In NYC all snakes are protected (no matter how common) and you may not catch or kill them. (you’d think a people so harassed by roaches and rats wouldn’t need to be told!)

(escaped exotic snakes may be trapped)

@futurebird kinda funny I was rewatching the simpsons yesterday, just happened to see "The Whacking Day" episode where it's apparently a town tradition for everyone to grab a club and spend the day whacking snakes.
