@mavnn "log in?"
@[email protected] hmm. Thank you for letting me know, looks like Bonfire and Mastodon handling hashtag links differently. I'll have to see what I can do about that.

sometimes i wish i can make a commit "intent", like, a pre-commit message saying what im trying to do. i have their super weird experience where once i'm done with my commit, i flush all memory of what i'm doing and have to look at diffs to remember. you'd think i was making large commits, but nope. just me?
@[email protected] I think this is actually how jujutsu is designed to be used github.com/jj-vcs/jj (and it can be used in existing git repositories). This isn't a recommendation, I haven't tried it myself yet, but I found the suggested workflow interesting partly for the reason you state ("have I actually done what I meant to do? What did I mean to do?"), and partly for the next morning issue ("I know I was in the middle of something yesterday...")

@ajn142 @dch @cR0w I'm nowhere near smart enough in networking to be able to understand this at a spec level, but I'm hopeful at least that the authors of this spec did actually learn from the debacle of IPv6 and managed to keep it to that 100% reverse compatibility contract. There's going to be IPv4 only hardware around until the end of the internet.
@[email protected] not making IP6 at least partially backwards compatible, or at the very least presenting a visually 'compatible' representation, has got to be one of the largest self owns in computing standards history. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

I've worked with enough Polish developers that I can probably research a reasonable estimate of this for several different projects 😀
To clear up a mutual point of confusion:
To the USA: most other countries don’t sell pizza by the slice because their whole pizzas are all personal sized
To others, especially Europe: Americans sell and request pizza by the slice because the typical American whole pizza is over twice the size of a European one and is meant to be shared by the whole table
@[email protected] Italy also has a bonus extra option of take away pizza 'by the cut' (al taglio) which you order by weight - often in hectogram units. So you order 'tre etti' (three hundred grams) and the guy cuts a slice of the right size off a huge rectangular pizza, generally by eye, and generally very accurately. Great for much confusion in shops not used to dealing with tourists. Also genuinely convenient for ordering the amount of food you actually want/need.

This is genuinely really good news; Erasmus has been such a positive life changing events for many people I know and the UK dropping out of it was one of many tragedies from Brexit.
@mavnn it's pretty much all wifi hotspots at Goldsmiths. They seem very much set up to block a bunch of things. I'm accessing all of it through the Tor browser now....
@[email protected] Yeah, there was a craze at one point in the uk of trying to configure hotspots to do all kinds of weird things, like try and take over your DNS, or prevent you from 'abusing the service' by using streaming services or - evil of evils - VPNs. You might be downloading anything over that VPN! I even once had one try and ask me to accept a certificate, presumably so it could man in the middle me to make sure I was following the hotspot usage policy or something.
Given that most coffee shops don't refit their wifi hotspots very often, a lot of them are still around.
update: was able to connect to Tor. It took a while, though.
Proton and my 2FA both show "TLS errors," as if the certs aren't trusted by the ISP.
@[email protected] Are you using a wifi hotspot somewhere? They're often configured really badly in the UK in my experience. If you're using mobile, that sounds stranger.

@[email protected] He was one of the first people to point out that's not really how humans work; 'high potential'/'profoundly gifted' humans don't think like everybody else more quickly, way instead tend to have more bandwidth, make more connections, make intuitive and emotional jumps that they post-hoc justify afterwards - all the things you're saying. Just with some scientific papers to wave in the face of professionals and teachers who are determined to double down on 'that child can't be bright, they aren't perfectly behaved!'.

@[email protected] I think that was a large part of his point - he was writing in the 70s so that was reasonably radical and it's not like there aren't still a lot of misconceptions about 'giftedness' (such a terrible term, as you say). I've seen his work and the follow on work that built on it (Silverman etc) used to push back against the idea of the 'gifted genius', mature beyond their years, striding forwards with logical certainity because being intelligent obviously means 'being able to do more of the same thing overbody else can.'

I have an elderly neighbor; I always speak to her in Dutch (her native language, to be clear) and she always answers me in English.
I think she just noticed, after two years, that I can speak Dutch 😅
@[email protected] I love watching that happen! My mum once went through the whole process of ordering a meal in a kebab shop in the UK speaking Turkish (which is what the staff were using talking to each other). He not only replied in English, but then asked his co-worker why they'd complimented an English speaker on their Turkish...
i need more coffee so badly this morning as evidenced by the fact that i can’t find my coffee mug that i was drinking from not an hour ago #coffee

There seems to be a bit of a caffeine failure epidemic going around at the moment
bonfire.mavnn.eu/pub/objects...
I wonder if I should be concerned that I have a mental list of bad driven songs for when the caffeine fails mentally loaded up and ready to go at all times
@[email protected] In a variety of styles...
- Propellerheads - Spybreak!
- Bon Jovi - Keep the faith
- Gravity Kills - Guilty
- Paul Simon - You can call me Al
- KMFDM - Ultra
- Wing - Dopamine DnB remix
- Liquid Tension Experiment - pretty much anything?
