@TheBreadmonkey That is too many miles.
@[email protected] @[email protected] As a Brit who's had to adapt to Italian temperatures: yeah, that's probably too much unless you're both used to it and have a lot of shade. 10 miles with a long break in the shade after lunch is more realistic. Also, even for much shorter walks at that temp you'll want lots and lots of water with you (750ml - 1l of water per hour you're walking).
Before taking my medication this afternoon, I was feeling vague and tired. Now I'm feeling vague, tired, and wired. #adhd #InterestingTimes
@maccruiskeen that's the main AD domain, yep. Keep in mind MS is an 80s company 😅
@[email protected] @[email protected] also, this is the company that chose to call a flagship product family .NET
For our next trick from the course: create a character by quickly learning how to trace a reference image in #Krita . Take some selfies with the facial expressions you want, and go to town.
Bonus tip: Wikimedia Commons has lots of great art that is no longer in copyright you can use for backgrounds, like this forest from Berndt Lindholm!

The advantage of this technique is that you can spend a few minutes for placeholder art like the post above, but you can also use exactly the same techniques to nail down your finished art just by spending more time on it. Many professional artists start from reference images and if you ask them about it, a lot of the people they reference are themselves or family members!
Oh, yes, links. We haz them. Have one of them there new fangled hyperlinks to the courses I'm talking about: thinkersmeetup.com/service-p...

I'm still thinking about the Emu War.
@[email protected] see also the rabbit proof (ish) fence and following descent into biological warfare against them. Humans at work being intellectually superior apex predators.
@[email protected] did I see something in the release notes about limited relay support to post to #tagspub? I can't find it again, and at the moment federating to #tagspub via the followback account fails due to an authentication issue.
@0xabad1dea I'm honestly not sure if you're joking or if this is literally true.
@[email protected] This is literally true, and has been giving many of us nightmares for a long time. See also the package managers for most popular programming languages.
@[email protected] Yeah, that's been my experience as well but I'm aware I've only looked at Unity briefly. I was mostly wondering if there were specific things that Unity had a clear cut advantage on, but it sounds like (at least for small scale single dev work) Godot is just going to be a nicer learning experience. Sounds stupid, but load speeds alone just make it feel more fun to use.
@jernej__s "A Journey of Black and Red" by Alex Gilbert (who also wrote "The Calamitous Bob"). You can find it on Royal Road for now.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I can second it being great fun in its own slightly campy way and, erm, quite long.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] My comment was mostly a joke, but if you want to take it more seriously I don't see an unintended interaction between a boot time feature and your own OS's disk encryption as distinct from it seeming rushed. That's exactly the type of interaction you should be spending the time to think about when delivering this type of feature. Of course, sometimes something slips through even if you have put all the time and effort in but... it's not inspiring from the outside.
Sent out a quote today that I needed to price higher than I'd like because otherwise the service isn't sustainable. This meant I was subconsciously expecting a long and drawn out negotiation and explanation process, while what I actually got was an email half an hour later saying (basically) "where do I send the money?"
So that was a nice encouragement for the day!
@mhoye I was going to start it with "sorry grandad, but..." 😂
@[email protected] You have picked your instance well, I can feel the tech bro burn from a different country @[email protected]

I mean, seriously? It just interpreted "accepting" as "surrendering" which rather changed the tone of the message I sent.
Deeply short-sighted. It’s like a grocery store committing to selling plastic food alongside the real stuff.

@[email protected] ignoring both the ethics and the tech limitations (which we shouldn't, to be clear) I don't see the pitch here. Either I have a desire to read something super bespoke and I get "magic" to write the novel for me ('like Star Wars, but with more kumquats'), or I want to read the idea somebody else find interesting. In practice I suspect even the first option with working, ethical, tech would end up feeling unsatisfying but I don't see any world where I want to pay money for stuff other people wanted to automatically generate if I have access to the generating tech myself.
Good books, not necessarily in the right order, and with some glaring omissions.

@[email protected] it reads very much to me as a list of 'important' books much more than a list of books I would enjoy. Doesn't mean they're bad, or I don't enjoy some of them, but it's not even close to what you'd get asking me for a "good" book list.
@gsuberland @munin @Rairii the fundamental problem here with judging if it's malicious is that if you *wanted* to design a highly deniable backdoor that would nonetheless work on 98% of installations, this would be a really good way to do it 😩
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] "They tried to bribe me to add a backdoor, but jokes on them - it's already rushed and full of bugs."
@mavnn @the_art_of_giving_up i don't really use the term "mansplaining" but i am semi-regularly on the receiving end of someone on fedi explaining to me things i very clearly already know—sometimes the very post they're replying to. i think there's also a component of, how do i put it, showing off? sometimes it's expressed as "I'm explaining it for the benefits of other people seeing this post", which, I mean sure but it still sends me a notification!
@[email protected] @[email protected] fair, fair. In wanting to get through to people trying not to be an arse I can see my wording ignores other common causes of over explanation like "no, I really am an arse" and "insecurity".
@grimalkina Or even just standard error whiskers would be helpful, honestly
@[email protected] I managed to initially read this as error whiskies, which would be one response to AI job threats I suppose!
This feels rather similar to the All True Star Wars Fans™ are white men over forty contingent.
