Well in a few hours I’ll either be dumped or have a serious girlfriend.
@[email protected] Best wishes from a random stranger who happens to like your photos! Hope it goes well, life could do with more happiness these days.

Totally silly life hack when creating a physics based character that you want to stay upright and don't want to write all that fancy code for self-righting: move their center of gravity below the character's actual collision shape and let the physics engine do all the work for you...

Tempted to have a play with Zen browser as it seems well presented and has sensible UI defaults.
But apart from a quick look and feel test run, using a browser for 'real' involves a fair amount of trust: anyone had any good or bad experiences? On the one hand, I can't be spending my life keeping up with internet drama. On the other, app I use for my banking and personal email... #browsers #privacy

Oh so very much this. It is staggering the number of people who are good at attracting money (via investment funding or sales) have no idea how money actually works. And many managers, including some who are good at managing people, have appalling business sense.

@[email protected] yeah apparently something changed in new astro version. We temp commented it in beta.3 since it was using only in the weather widget for showing moon phases, and the widget is currently on hold anyway
@[email protected] @[email protected] Good work! beta.3 worked out of the box and for some reason is also using way less cpu (than beta.2)
German word for the anxiety when you run into your doctor in public because this man knows some truly uncomfortable things about me.
@[email protected] I suspect it's part of a mini-dictionary of related terms: "feeling when the blind date partner is my therapist", "feeling when the interviewee was my primary school teacher", "feeling when Philip Wadler sits in the front row as you get up to give your first ever conference talk and it's about functional programming, and then puts his hand up for a question at the end" (some of these may be more personally specific than others...)
@[email protected] Just as a heads up, to start the docker container for beta.2 I needed to manually download the file de440s.bsp and expose it in a volume at /root/.cache/astro/de440s.bsp
@[email protected] I have no idea why Astro was unable to download it automatically? Other outbound http on the container are working fine, so I'd guess a file system permissions issue within the container but I might be totally wrong.

> Omg I showed that PR to our writer just last week ... . Even envisioned switching our ink_compiler to see what's what, but figured I'd wait a bit to see if it was merged in the main repo. I couldn't find an update to WritingWithInk but happy to be able to read more in that blogpost! Awesome work.
Apparently my 'stacks in Ink' post has a fan! As an aside, if you've enjoyed or admired something you've read/used/remembered today and you know who created it: let them know! You'd be surprised how little positive feedback even the most 'popular' projects get, and seeing it is a massive mental health boost to whoever created the thing™ you like so much. #MentalHealth #Blog #CreatorAppreciationReminder #Stacks #HmmmmStackedPancakes #DataStructures
Just in case any of you have been waiting to pay someone millions of euros to blow up your enemies with fantasy #forth while progressing through a choice based story: now's your chance!
- Physics based game play? Check
- Stack programming based magic system? Check
- Ink plugged in for narrative? Check
- ...
- Profit? Probably not. Fun though!

@[email protected] MALP on android and some scripts currently, with the audio playing via AirPlay from a Raspberry Pi to a few different speakers around the house. It's not super awesome, but it appears to do the basics and is pretty fast.
@[email protected] Next question for me is something good for keeping my place in podcasts #podcast

What player do you use? I was looking at similar setup but couldn't find a client I liked.

Whelp, it's taken a lot longer than I would have liked but I'm finally managing to take the time out to move the whole family's music from Spotify subscriptions to mp3s on a self hosted mpd instance. It's a lot easier to hook into things like OpenHab as well; while nothing is a reliable means of getting a teenager out of bed, programmatically escalating light and #progrock volume levels are the best we've found so far.
And we get to both save money and support artists more directly; although we like music it isn't like we buy an album+ a month at the moment. #music

I'm pleased to see that my deep dive on #WSocial is still making the rounds. ICYMI:
The biggest latest development since publication is that its CEO Anna Zeiter was caught misrepresenting their user numbers during a high profile interview with the German TV channel SWR.
On May 28th Zeiter said they've been onboarding about 100-200 new users a day. Except: the whole PDS has 293 users TOTAL according to https://clearsky.app
Their tagline is "Trust your feed"!

@[email protected] Well, if weren't being all cynical and pedantic and assuming that 'a day' meant more than one day you'd see how easily the statement could be true.

It's random Korean music moment! Back with the same group as the last tune I posted, but before they were named? I'm guessing this is some kind of origin story moment.
It's a cover, and 'Legends Never Die' is a solid pop track I actually quite like but they start the song somewhere different (conch and Korean version of the zither anyone?) and then take it... somewhere else. I suspect right into @[email protected] taste kind of territory. And if nothing else - this is what stage presence looks like.

That ended up slightly more mysterious than it needed to 😁 . If you're interested, the band is called Kardi and they seem to play this kind of stuff: youtube.com/watch?v=MSO2YAcC...

RIGHT?)
@[email protected] I can take a guess but: what's the free table in this context?
