@kiwu@twtxt.net better now, with you around! 🙈
I came across this on “Why Is SQLite Coded In C”, which I found interesting:
“There has lately been a lot of interest in “safe” programming languages like Rust or Go in which it is impossible, or is at least difficult, to make common programming errors like memory leaks or array overruns.”
If that’s true, then encountering those issues means the programmer is, simply, horrible?
@prologic@twtxt.net so, you were not giving time off during the end of year? The company you work for didn’t give a break?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de hear hear! If anything, holiday breaks help to validate the fact that we are prepared for retirement. At least, I am!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think they are Windows users, going by the lack of attention to detail, and the fact they love DFS. Ha!
Ending three luxurious do-what-I-please weeks; tomorrow is back to work. What do you all do during your break (and this assumes you had one, even if short)? I mostly did nothing, which in itself was truly something! So much, I long to do it all over again. A man can dream, right? Haha!
Happy new year! Waiting for ours watching the celebrations around the world. 🥳🥳🥳
@prologic@twtxt.net merry Christmas! I keep forgetting you live in our future. 😅
@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe is that https://github.com/owncloud/ocis (Go based, instead of PHP 🤮)?
@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe it was a mess, we are better without it. Until a new mobile client comes (not holding my breath), Yarn is very usable on the mobile, just using the browser.
Waiting for @prologic@twtxt.net to make it back from his luxurious vacation, to engage on Australia’s teen-under-16 social media banning technical, parental, and philosophical discourse.
Webp, though it has been around for a long while, wasn’t fully supported on all browsers until recently. The other formats have been in use for such a long time, proving to work just fine, that the advantages Webp provides haven’t been seemingly enough to merit a switch.
Google is also the one behind Webp, and, well, people don’t trust, nor like, them much.
@zvava@twtxt.net I figure I will know when it is ready, the day I see you using it. Can’t wait! :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de lovely, thanks for sharing! Now you know what I will be using today on a loop.
@zvava@twtxt.net looking sweet!
@zvava@twtxt.net come on, bbycll, come! :-P
@prologic@twtxt.net I like this one. Haven’t been to the Golden Bridge yet? Make sure you do!
@prologic@twtxt.net why do you think that’s the case?
@prologic@twtxt.net dad told me the name is Tao Tau.
@prologic@twtxt.net my translator says conversations. An Jabber Droid app comes to mind.
@prologic@twtxt.net he uses subdomains. Which do you think the identity be associated with? (hint, “it is not so hard!”).
@prologic@twtxt.net well then, and now we will never freaking know because you have the memory of a damn fly. Thank you so much! 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de how long do they need to read the scale? LOL. The penguin stayed put at least twice, no issues. I think the creator wanted some Internet points out of that video. 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net that some kind of apple native to the area. Mum grows a tree of it, I will ask her for the Vietnamese name.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I bet. I wouldn’t be surprised if it more popular in some Discord servers too. I mean, the event itself is quite obscure, so… yeah.
Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people's past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality ...etc felt like handicap for the past N months.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com good luck with that! Their installation requirements, and install document in general give me headache. While on the contemplating topic, I too am contemplating shutting down my ActivityPub altogether. No GoToSocial, no nothing. I am mostly a lurker, so will not miss it much.
salty-chat, use the MQTT protocol instead of HTTP, in theory it shouldn't make a difference, at least
@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I don’t know about you, but I completely missed the point. Heck, I didn’t even know there was one, until you mentioned it. Nah, he’s got no point. LOL.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no wonder I picked that cake (albeit coincidentally), I adore almonds, and hazelnuts! Your teammates are absolutely amazing, dude! A very nice project farewell! On leaving places I have a small anecdote.
I know someone who on 3 February 2004 left his job to go elsewhere. At the time his teammates threw a party, and gave him a very nice portable storage. Twenty days later, he returned, and jokingly they asked him for the storage, and money spent on farewell party back. I heard, from a close source, that he gave them his middle finger, but don’t quote me on that. 😂😂😂
@prologic@twtxt.net dayum! Australians truly know how to vacay! 🥳
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what’s on the one on the left, back? Looks… enticing! 🤤
That’s Bảo Tháp of the Trấn Quốc Pagoda, on a small island near the southeastern shore of West Lake (Hồ Tây), in Hanoi. Oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi.
@prologic@twtxt.net maybe they should dedicate one of their advent days to make sure their site is responsive. 😂
I see beer, and I upvote. I see “amazinf” beer, and I am thirsty already, and it’s not even 07:00! 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net pretty neat looking boat. We don’t see boats like this around here. It looks to be made specifically to resemble an older boat.
@prologic@twtxt.net pretty cool! I like these, wish there was a way (I am sure there is, but not for tourists) to go to the top. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net don’t seek the problems. If they exist, they will show at your doorstep. Hahahaha! Anyway, shame on me, I should be sleeping, so I ought to.
@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I want to see them too! 🙈
@movq@www.uninformativ.de your reply got me almost ROFLMAO IRL. It drew a laudable laugh, for sure! 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net geez, a simple “I don’t wanna” would suffice. 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, you fetched it too quickly, it was edited seconds after picking the wrong image. LOL. Which brings us back in a whole, huge circle, to twtxt edits, and how to handle them. 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see problems with that, yes. Case in point:

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, it is only Manton (with which I don’t see eye to eye) for now. I am simply anticipating the issue, rather than experiencing it fully right now. If efforts continue on this direction, you see what I am writing about, right?
@kiwu@twtxt.net I see. I have no experience on the matter, sadly. :-( I am sure you can find plenty of recommendations online. Beware of anything below $100 (you will find plenty of cheap, but they are, indeed, cheap in the whole sense of the word). I’d say, a decent one will start around $250-$300, and up.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Gemini agrees. :-)
As someone that almost exclusively uses “Discover”, that is. If you do use it like I do, you know I mean.
Ah, the collateral damage of ActivityPub bridges…
@kiwu@twtxt.net at what price range are you looking to keep your expenses? A mobile phone camera doesn’t cut it?
