Pleased to announce that, for the first time in ~20 years of using Debian and/or Ubuntu, I remembered the command "lsb_release -a", for finding out what version of the OS I am running, without having to look it up.

  @darius For those used to Python, I will often run `python -m platform` to do something similar. I love this lidar scan of an archive room at the Centro de Henri Lenaerts in Navarra, Spain (an arts organization). But it makes me heartsick for visiting archives in person :( A year ago I wrote this article on how to be a tourist at library archives and it feels like another era... Did Ted Wheeler just say he would encourage the police to nazi? (no he said "not see" but it sounded funny) (Mayoral debate here: https://kgw.com/embeds/video/283-1393698/iframe?jwsource=cl )  The absolute worst thing about Dependabot is when I'm following someone else's repo and I get spammed with dependabot PRs. Like it's not even my project, come on!!! Best possible outcome from Oracle v Google is I'm never able to write code ever again and I just stop using computers.

  @darius I heard some chatter that a bad decision might motivate better legislation from antitrust-minded congress-folk, but honestly, your prediction sounds more plausible  The worst thing about Trump getting sick is that it's distracted me from Fat Bear Week Excel fucking rules. I mean, it's shit, but all software is shit. Excel is the best of the software shit-pile. I will never scold a non-technical person or organization for using Excel, which 99.999% of the time is a perfectly acceptable tool for the job. (I'd link an article about the alleged Excel errors that caused a miscount in COVID cases in the UK but there is wildly conflicting information and I don't know what to trust.)

  @darius Excel did more for the democratization of computing than most other software. Still it's absolute shit and I'm not sure it would have to be that way (e.g. imagine if it did a little less automatic data coercion)  It would've been better if it didn't turn random things into dates when you least expect.

 "I have heard the worst person in the world, who has personally attacked me many times and who I clearly despise, has fallen gravely ill. I wish him and his family well." Well, maybe we're just not a bunch of deplorables who wish death on those who have acted against us. Quite frankly, that's their territory and I don't want to live in it. How can I construct a Zoom shortcut url if I know both the room ID and password for a meeting I'm invited to? I'm not sure how they hash passwords for URLs so it's not as easy as just sticking the password in. (Any other way to generate the shortcut url for a meeting I'm invited to but don't "own" would be equally helpful.)

  I reference OAuth a lot in my talk, and I can already tell that @aaronpk's discussion of OAuth 2.1 is going to be of interest to anyone who wants to develop the "suite of community apps" pattern from my presentation. https://conf.tube/videos/watch/32351956-89d7-4887-b6b0-f1a32f91dc36 @darius that was excellent. Thank you. I am in the vision with you and stoked on the future of hometown. Curious if there is a list of RSS feeds already available on friend.camp? @darius @courtney @explainjojo incredible! I'm gonna hop on the train :)  @darius @courtney @explainjojo nice, I was looking for a new podcast to fill the gaps left in my subscriptions’ schedule (: |
