@samhenrigold my first phone was Nokia 1610, and I can officially feel my bones turning to dust in the grave.

@samhenrigold wow that’s one cursed phone

@samhenrigold
I truly wonder how things like this get past the marketing higher ups that realize how polarizing brand decisions like this will be. Like, you’re trying to put phones in the hands of all types of people from every walk of life, yet you HEAVILY tie the whole brand identity to the equivalent of gaming PCs for 19yo boys. Just…why

@samhenrigold the blessing: you get to point out piss-poor photoshops and everyone loves and admires your brilliance every time you do so

@samhenrigold I'd like it on the record I fall into the camp that acknowledges the reference but has no idea what anything else in this post means 😂

Also is this the new generation's buy it use it break it fix smash it change it?

Specialized AI models trained on decompiled code and corresponding sources feel like an interesting idea 🤔
(I can't believe I'm for once saying something good about AI tech)

@samhenrigold it got me hungry somehow...

screw it, i’ll figure it out. just submitted an application to OpenCorporates to ask for the name of every active law firm in the states

@samhenrigold egg law is complex and nuanced

someone should make a case that looks like this

@samhenrigold and it will smudge all over if you so much as look at it wrong

@savinola It’s interesting, but I don’t think it counts as good advice! As they themselves noted, they ended up with a solution that won’t localize properly. It would be nice if Foundation had an API that let you get “abstract” inflections for numbers, but this isn’t it.

@savinola Thank you!

Apple has a library that pluralizes strings automatically?! Now I'm curious to see how it handles languages that aren't English.

@samhenrigold i developed arthritis watching this 11-second clip

@Gargron If you want software developers work on open source software, tell your friends about them.

@Gargron I hope I will convince some new friends for the fediverse with @bjoernsta at #ScoopCamp! https://www.thenewsocial.de/das-fediverse-in-guter-gesellschaft/

@Gargron @eilonwy Good point!

it's a crime against humanity

@samhenrigold curious how the pictures turn out after that

@samhenrigold SIR!

@samhenrigold oh, I remember when this was a thing and nobody got it right... Thanks for reminding me

@samhenrigold Are they inside Windows XP right now?

three months after i heard these lyrics i entered third grade

why do the subs say "Californian boys" in Russian

@samhenrigold I haven’t been to trello dot com recently but it looks like its atlassian-ification is now complete

@samhenrigold omg they can’t roll back to an app version FROM MAY what???

@samhenrigold @jcrabapple
You may wish to use our prewash service.

Oh, and how big is a greyhound? Never ever walk away from your supper.

@samhenrigold mine trolls me by causing whatever it doesn't clean to become bonded with the dishes at the atomic level. No amount of subsequent runs shifts that stuff, I have to hand wash them.

@samhenrigold Leading by example is generally more effective than punishment - perhaps let it see you doing the dishes yourself while telling it an inspirational story?

@samhenrigold the best weather, congrats

@samhenrigold Some people care little for thunderstorms at night, I don't mind them.

I did once live in an apartment that had a lot of metal decorations in the courtyard, and the thunder outside would shake the whole room.

@samhenrigold

Here's my thinking: if it smells desktop Linux, that might tip it into more technical videos. Windows seems like the most neutral. If it sees my IP in NYC, that might give it more liberal/academic (read: Nebula-esque) videos. Idk what a "neutral" location would be.

I want to give it absolutely nothing and just see where it leads.

@samhenrigold my vote is a fresh windows vm with stock fonts installed in microsoft edge with an ip out in a purple state

@samhenrigold I say this with love to all the weirdos out there, but what a fucking weirdo this guy is.

@samhenrigold The hard drive drives a hard bargain

@samhenrigold honestly "is it gonna upsell me" is a fair question. Microsoft is sure I want its OneDrive offering for some reason

@samhenrigold When I was a kid the older people were, the less they understood computers. Now I’m old and it seems the younger the kids, the less they understand computers.
