@isotopp Context for my fellow Anglophones: Bram Moolenaar, creator and maintainer of Vim, has passed away.

@isotopp More like this.

Computer programs are not afflicted by gravity, thus you can stack them up however you like and as long as the instructions are correct it will work.

Twitter is a sign-in identity provider too... And revoking access at Twitter or deleting your account does not necessarily break that delegation token...
I trust their security team made this happen. But it's not intrinsic.

If you've ever "Logged in" to a website or app with Twitter, you created an account with a secret Twitter holds on its servers. You don't sign in with your Twitter account. You sign in with an OAUTH token Twitter owns.

@georgetakei The Dutch call it "zesjescultuur" -- the effort to get a 6/10 (or passing but not outstanding) on a test.

Yes, they're fricking insufferable because of the unnecessary repetition and redundancy. >..>

mercurial thingy

I just learned that a very smart and accomplished woman scientist who I happen to know IRL is not active on Mastodon bc of mansplaining. This really bums me out. If ever you spot me mansplaining something, PLEASE call me out on it. You have my permission and gratitude. I’m far from perfect, and it’s possible I’ve done it myself without meaning to. Pinning this post so that it is potentially seen by more people.

Deep Breath; Start Again

@johncormier That’s really sad. I get it, though. If she ever changes her mind, I’m sure we women on here would love to hear her voice.

The candles at the points of the pentagram flickered. A demon appeared.

"Do you do Black Friday deals?" the conjuror said.

"What?"

"Like, unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures, for less than my soul?"

"Actually, it was five souls, but today it's only one."

"Oh? That's cheap!"

@MicroSFF
Muhahaha!
I love this one!
I interpret it as the demon merely telling that it was five souls, to trick the human into thinking they have a good deal when it's not so.

The absurdity of needing to connnect to the work VPN to download torrents hits me every time!

I thought for a minute that it’s @lukito ‘s Pixel, but the music and language of iOS didn’t match :)

That’s a weird one. I’m not even sure what they’re advocating for/against. Seems like a scattering of keywords you’re supposed to know
