@neauoire “In the first eight months of this year, there has not been a single successful escape from a Belgian prison. […] Prison escape in Belgium is not punishable by law.”

@neauoire Godard understood this.

@neauoire i think I will simply sleep for 48 hours and emerge from my burrow in a week or so

@neauoire I hope your talk went well

@neauoire Agreed! And thanks so much for your talk, it was definitely a bright highlight, if not my favorite!!

@neauoire You need a Voice with you onstage like a Seanchan noble

Woke up quite unable to talk but @jack made me a lemon and honey tea and so I was able to give the talk.

@neauoire It all worked out… the presentation was great — especially the of the cuff remarks.

@neauoire the food situation is fairly stressful

@neauoire my first reaction: "ooh, fun, what other ways could you hack around this situation with the things found in the room?"

Ten minutes of mental MacGyvering later: "wait, I completely ignored the core issue: the hotel should just give access to a kettle."

Which is basically a perfect micro-example of "don't trust tech people to solve societal issues, they find it more interesting to find convoluted solutions to the wrong problems", isn't it?

@neauoire I think @TechConnectify needs to see this.

@neauoire LOLOL... too good.

@neauoire but Trains Rights are so important! :p

@neauoire yep! It was too late last night but we can meet

@neauoire 😢

@neauoire this site is as mysterious as your video game. It's all in a language I don't understand, full of dead ends and creepy characters.

Nice.

@neauoire omg Lem? The Cyberiad Lem??

@neauoire believe in yourself

@neauoire at least make it `nixos-rebuild switch` so you can just switch back a gen when it fucks up 🙏

@neauoire Oof! I didn't want to jinx it by saying what I thought earlier, but this one had 52–48 (and the resulting way round) written all over it. Narrowly avoided.

@neauoire Nice

@neauoire #buffalobuddies 😁

@neauoire
How are you doing non-pixelated fades on adelie?

@neauoire Hmmm ... "Are typical systems that we encounter in nature universal? Or are they
computationally much simpler?"

It's been a long time since I read it, but isn't this addressed in _Gödel, Escher, Bach__?

@neauoire Last pair of shoes I bought fell apart in 3 months. I then crazy glued them everywhere they looked like they are even /thinking/ of coming apart, and they have lasted 3 years. I have done this a few times now!

@neauoire sadly markets prefer cheap over durable. this is why companies cut costs and use weak materials/construction. i wish we could go back to the "buy once buy for life" mindset.

@neauoire i went a whole month and maybe then some cycling around town listening solely to Amyl & The Sniffers. Love them!

@neauoire oh I love that energy! It reminds me of this which I'm absolutely in love with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIVgu9aKTtk

@neauoire love em. Listening to them helps me get in touch with my bogan roots.

@neauoire you're lucky it wasn't earlier as twitter from 2011 to 2014 is already gone because they needed disk space

@neauoire
This is a whole entire mood.

@neauoire @mcc This one? https://en.unesco.org/about-us/legal-affairs/charter-preservation-digital-heritage
