@nikitonsky The left layout looks like a remnant of old forum software... The only thing missing is the long detailed signatures 😅

@nikitonsky So much better. I use @MonaApp because it’s the only client I’m aware of with an option to display toots full width.

@nikitonsky Or this?

@nikitonsky marketing managers

@nikitonsky Linus Torvalds says he names all of the stuff he writes after himself.

@nikitonsky I just hope that one day I am as good as Linus at writing comments and commit messages.

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online jeez there's so much spam in there

Looks like day wasn’t over yet

@nikitonsky They seem to be using a weird definition of quiet quitting. 🤔

@nikitonsky WHAT THE FUCK!?

How fucking entitled do you have to feel to think you're deserving of *more* than completed assigned workloads made to high standards!?

HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE!?

@nikitonsky also *I* get to pick the font face, weights and size, and, most of the time, the color palette.

And TUIs are usually very focused on a single thing, performant and keyboard focused.

@nikitonsky "Git's interface looks like it was designed by a bunch of Linux kernel hackers."

@nikitonsky this is so good

@nikitonsky the BSOD in Windows 10 is useless to everyone. There are bo good reasons to remove information there!
The user is frustrated no matter if he knows a lot about computers or not. This fact is not changed by making the error screen more "aesthetic".
And to make matters worse, people who actually know stuff about computers have essentially no lead what caused the problem and therefore need more time to find and fix the problem...

@nikitonsky
That's odd indeed, but the least problematic thing about the German keyboard layout. More so are the locations of "special characters", ones that a software developer you use on very non special circumstances: `|/\[] {} to name a few.

@nikitonsky It’s a holdover from typewriters.

@nikitonsky this wouldn’t usually export when producing an image, etc.

Did someone screenshot their work?

@nikitonsky
The correct spelling is obviously "lib cont. AI nerd"

@brood things I wish someone had told my younger self

Luckily I think there's only two things that I desperately miss not having a copy of

@brood The most cost-effective archival medium that I have found are M-Disc BluRay discs (25GB or 100GB for ~$2.60 / ~$13 respectively) with a stated 1000 year lifespan under controlled conditions that aren't too onerous.

@brood No doubt about it. I recently discovered "Readeck", what a fantastic piece of gold to store articles :). (self-hosted opensource)

@nikitonsky

This was good. I laughed out loud at the jokes in the beginning :)

@nikitonsky Legitimately funny. I laughed quite a few times.

Good job!

@daviddlevine I discovered some Blue Mountain coffee in the bottom of the freezer left over from our last visit to Jamaica - having discovered it I'm certainly drinking it now, not keeping it any longer!

@daviddlevine everyday should be a celebration of life, love 😍🥳🍾

@daviddlevine this is so good and a great reminder

@NanoRaptor For me it was VFDs. I could tell the VCR’s display wasn’t LCD or LED, but nobody seemed to know what it was and I had no idea what to search for.

@NanoRaptor technology was cool before it got so ordinary

@NanoRaptor

I'm guessing Nintendo's Watch and Play would've blown your mind ☺️

@nikitonsky This is a pretty standard architecture for a secure, high-availability site on AWS. The biggest cost here is probably the VPC and its endpoints. Based on my experience I'm guessing it should cost roughly $150/month. Perfectly fine for all that it does.

Most Wordpress users probably don't need this, but then again most Wordpress users probably don't need Wordpress. Use a static site generator into an S3 bucket for like $5/month, or just sign up for Wordpress.com.

@nikitonsky I know someone who was working with AWS, not quite sure the role, but not from what I could tell, launching their own sites/services, but supporting people with accomplishing that, and felt it was a bit of a hellscape.

@nikitonsky me too

@nikitonsky And taking control...

@nikitonsky
It is rfc822 from rails : )

@nikitonsky

Lol. They broke it again. It used to be non-RFC despite the docs a few years ago. Then they fixed it. And now theybroke it again. I can't even imagine *how* you can end up with this format

Linux's date util parses it though.

@nikitonsky Probably just the brand's website, tbh

@nikitonsky sanpellegrino.com only has links to Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

The pointer icon could probably mean "we also have a website"?
