@darius Same, and same.

@darius I’m still blogging. Dropping a blog post about our latest project… as soon as it’s done

@darius I like preprints and blog posts and the boundaries are blurry. And I started https://rogue-scholar.org to make it easier to find science blog posts, archive them, and give them a DOI. Making the boundaries even blurrier.

@darius classic

@darius pretty sure it's "whips"

@darius I miss WinRar

@darius I've always had a hard time figuring this out as you know. I don't stand firmly on either side.

Is it the case that professional organizations can't coexist with unions? Is that something we conclusively see in other industries? To me they have very different functions, but I do think your argument is valid.

Honestly the sort of "middle privilege" of programming is the biggest hurdle I've seen. And the libertarian roots of that field.

@darius This URL may take you right there: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/grand-theft-auto-5-and-rockstars-post-apocalypse-now-10-years-ago-this-month#:~:text=Kazemi

@darius What an interesting feature that publication does, looking back a decade from whatever month it happens to be. 🤔 It’s definitely a more compelling cadence than “on this day” as well as always being 10 years ago.

@darius and sadly the down side: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-09-18/a-black-bear-was-euthanized-in-colorado-a-necropsy-showed-its-intestines-were-plugged-with-human-garbage

@darius They went for the chocolate. I can only hope they tucked the sprinkles into their bear pockets for when hibernation is enough already and they chuck them at their mates. No solid bear enjoys sprinkles. Thanks.

@darius Nature is healing.

@darius thanks!!

For #Hometown servers on our Mastodon v3.5-compatible branch, this is the new security release:

https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/releases/tag/v3.5.14%2Bhometown-1.0.8

(v4 release coming next)

@darius just want to say - your forks existence makes me like Mastodon (the ecosystem) as a whole even more. Even if I never get to try it.

@darius Sculpted physique, chiseled abs, and strong as an oak

@darius Some of my best friends are made of wood!

@darius Pinoh no you didn't.

@darius paging @zrail for his email setup expertise...

@darius Try looking at https://mxtoolbox.com/emailhealth/brighteradhd.com/

@darius

Critical question: is she actually sending these emails from within the Gmail UI (app or website)?

If she's sending mail appearing to come from her Google-hosted domain, but actually sending them through another route (mail app going to ISP's mail relay, firewall at work/public routing SMTP to its own relay, etc), then the mail she is sending will be violating her own SPF and DMARC policies (if they're anything but wide-open).

And that means they're invalid, and go to spam.

@darius Pink pearl.

@darius Not listed there, but.

@darius me, running into the room breathless three days later: I LOVE SWEETANGO

@darius now I'm imagining society if useradd and adduser were related in a way you could discern from their names

@darius I love little legacy bits of code like this that show the history and culture of the tools we use =)

@darius just use the mac address

@darius Two days later the website starts showing a popup saying "Our mobile website is very old"

@darius I read "pop over" as "po power" at first and was trying to figure that out. "Is that a marketing term for radio signal?"

@darius 😢️ The end of an era.

@darius wow, many thanks for posting that - I've been hoping for such a combination of bookmarking & #ActivityPub for ages! Investigating further. @casey

@darius @casey This looks awesome, thanks for sending the link.

@darius @casey
Link doesn't seem to work

@darius Nice. I kept going till I got past the table of contents just to see if it also had the main text, and stopped there once I verified that. I'm hoping this means I have a better chance of surviving inadvisable whale pursuits ("ok, you're good, heading back to shore").

@darius this should be in log scale to be more realistic

@darius Seems interesting!
One thing, though, I can't seem to find the actual text for chapters when I click on the links. Is it supposed to start playing them?

@darius you forgot "Zero"

@darius My Six Ages and the upcoming Six Ages 2 are storylets that can interact with a time element and can connect via the political and economic systems https://sixages.com

@darius @radiofreelunch aren't you using a storylet-like system with your folk, @joningold

@darius Is it okay to recommend games that I made? Most of my games are storylet-based, and The Archivist and the Revolution is the most recent. https://red-autumn.itch.io/archivist

Also Bee by Emily Short is one of my favorites https://inthewalls.itch.io/bee

@darius did you just

is this

did you

oh my god

@darius I had a ratty third hand copy of a book with “raise high trbc” and “Sebastian” … it was awesome… i was shooketh etc…. I wrote a story, while riding the high of reading that, wrote it in a yellow notebook with green pen — but I lost my notebook, and lost the book … still bitter bitter

@darius happy birthday!!

@darius My server doesn’t render your emojis, and I was wondering how an ouroboros could smile. If anyone else is curious:

@darius 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
