Neal Stephenson demonstrated that people will read (and love) infodumps so long as they’re funny or fun to read. In other words: infodumps in fiction are fine so long as the author is also an essayist.
Having a fun day trying to sort out why my code isn’t working. Only to find out the API server I’m calling is borked.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net they always claim to have a video of me having fun but there is a sticker on my cam and the webcam module is blacklisted. 🤨
Making bad puns and then learning hidden truths by taking them too seriously is, basically, the most human form of human intelligence. That’s why we make fun of people for doing it. Dad jokes are the foundation of cognition.
Another fun day of loading data for this software pilot. It’s fun just watching data load.
Another fun day of loading data, so people can test the new system next week.

@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Have fun in captcha hell :(
Nginx rewrites are fun. https://codevoid.de/?this-variable-does-totally-not-matter=cookie
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Thanks! Programming gopher://taz.de was the most fun i had in ages. And it was for work! Kind of. :)
Fun fact: OpenBSDs vi does not support utf8. That’s probably the first time I haven’t just used the default system vi.
The thing that worries me about MovieBob’s ‘man thought’ pilot is that up until the last few minutes poe’s law is in effect way too much and it’s just indistinguishable from the shit he’s making fun of
Twitter’s new developer guidelines might end fun bot accounts. https://slate.com/technology/2018/08/twitters-new-developer-guidelines-might-end-fun-bot-accounts.html
I’d like to see less tech journalism that’s PR or PR-teardowns for companies, and more tech journalism that’s about strange technically-interesting things people do for fun that could never conceviably be productized.
‘It’s more fun to be a pirate than join the navy’ is accurate, but Jobs failed to mention that any BUSINESS is a navy in this metaphor. A small navy is at a disadvantage. Naval officers who act like pirates are called war criminals.
Sorry, for being quite noisy now but it is really fun using #twtxt over #xmpp, am very proud it somehow works even when I’m no programmer.

Dare to be Stupid: that time Weird Al tried to make fun of Devo and instead just became Devo
For added fun, introduce extra levels until you arrive at the conceptual equivalent of “translated to Japanese and back ten times”
Another fun day at work. I’ll be glad when the day is over.
Fun with text tools today https://www.baty.net/2017/some-text-based-things-today/
We find the android resting under the reactor. Radiation gives it the best ideas, it says, and the personality changes are fun too
I think this week I’ll look at a bare bone PHP CLI for a twtxt client. Just for fun mind you
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I once had a fun day hunting down the phone number for a scraper. Really nice guy, just some script running havoc.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.
The Uber affair
Using Uber for the first time, in France, was a delightful experience. We were able to summon a relatively cheap minivan within minutes, the drivers were nice, nothing found to complain. Then, once back home, I decided that I might want to occasionally drive for Uber, for fun. That is when the real affair started.
To begin with, the rider photo I had on my profile no longer met their requirements. Then, the driver’s application asked me for information that I did not have handy, making me chang … ⌘ Read more
@trqx@0x1A4.1337.cx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Uhm, cloning all projects i have starred would be fun…
https://github.com/sabotage-linux/sabotage looks fun.
@dave@davebucklin.com Thanks for posting about miniircds. Looks fun.
Ups, i did it again! I just started a new twtxt client in c, just for fun and to relearn a little c. https://github.com/mdom/txtio
@mdom@domgoergen.com mostly for fun, but once I have it working more it’ll get integrated into https://gitlab.com/technomancy/bussard.
Yeah, i don’t care much for the store bought substitues, but making them yourself is always fun.
borgasm (n): when a hive mind figures out the fun button
@pelmel@pelmel.org Nice to see a new user! Have fun!
It would probably be fun to implement a #gopher interface for taz.de. I have to talk to our webmaster about that… :)
Let’s be honest, it seems to be impossible to use twtxt without adding new stuff to the client. So much fun.
They separate the visible from the invisible and run along ideological chasms and schelling fences rather than rivers. Have fun mapping!
fun make-work project: moving from upstart to systemd
Fun with data! The complete roster twtxt database can be downloaded at https://roster.twtxt.org/twtxt_20160405.sql.gz
Along its way, it found much solitude, but also trawlers, sunken cities, the Kraken (fun guy!), more sessile treasures and once, love.
And as luck would have it, #roster provides a websocket stream on ws://roster.twtxt.org/stream. Have fun!
We would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun… Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?
Change your skin once in a while to appear new and fresh to your friends. Befriending them again is part of the fun.
