@prologic@twtxt.net I dunno if it’s me or the bridge, but my pleroma instance didn’t pull any of your notes + a follow request got stuck as Request Sent

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.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I see, ta! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net that’s kind of what I was getting it initially yeah

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is brilliant!

@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!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @zvava@twtxt.net I think people get sick of everything changing all the time and so don’t bother adopting things to change when things are already good enough 🤷

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, but isn’t it from 2010? No widespread adoption after 15 years? Is there that much inertia? 🤔 On my box, everything just works – browser, GIMP, ImageMagick, imlib2, … 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think WebP being new just hasn’t seen widespread adoption everywhere (yet) 🧐

@zvava@twtxt.net come on, bbycll, come! :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no idea why that is. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! 🌇

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org where he was is fog. That’s on the mountains.

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! And foggy as heck, very beautiful! Or is this smog?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

@prologic@twtxt.net That looks super humid. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net who is that handsome man?! Looking good! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net No no we did!!! Just the photos are rubbish 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I like this one. Haven’t been to the Golden Bridge yet? Make sure you do!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh you are a brilliant man 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net Here you go:

(LTT = “Linus Tech Tips”, that’s the host.)

LTT: There was a recent thing from a major tech company, where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote – and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here that was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity, because–

Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset. At that point, that’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh, he was a prominent figure in the, uh, improved efficiency of the US government recently.

Torvalds: Oh. Apparently I was spot on.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de BahahahGG 🤣🤣🤣

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net do you know what I also find equally just as stupid and dumb is having to upgrade the software license on something just to be able to get OIDC or OAuth support ffs 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :‘-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon you’re right. There cannot be any other explanation.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My theory is that these people simply don’t do “code archeology”. When something breaks, they don’t reach for git log. They simply don’t experience the pain that comes with bad commits / commit messages.

Or is that different in your company? 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, shit, you might be right. You can even buy these slot plates on Amazon. I didn’t even think to check Amazon, I went straight to eBay and tried to find it there, because I thought “it’s so old, nobody is going to use that anymore, I need to buy second-hand”. 🤦🤦🤦

It really shows that I built my last PC so long ago … I know next to nothing about current hardware. 😢

We’ll all my posts are making it to the “Fediverse” https://bridge.twtxt.net/users/c350a5e5fb9d9457

@bender@twtxt.net i’m just pointing out that it’s one of those fundamental RS 232 standards that will never die 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net why do you think that’s the case?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think even modern PC still come with serial ports they just don’t wire them up anymore right? They’re still there in the board itself, though just unwired.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same. :‘-( I just don’t get how people do code archeology with all their shit messages and huge commits changing a gazillion of different things. I always try to lead by setting good examples, but nofuckingbody is picking up on that. At all. Even when bringing this up every now and then.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can associate your identity to the apex domain with a bit of Webfinger wizardry, but I don’t. Mine are always attached to the sub-domains. I find it easier to migrate between instances that way without risking borking federation.

@prologic@twtxt.net Bwahahaha! I tried to establish some form of “convention” for commit messages at work (not exactly what you linked to, though), but it’s a lost cause. 😂 Nobody is following any of that. Nobody wants to invest time in good commit messages. People just want to get stuff done.

I’m just glad that 80% are at least somewhat useful – instead of “wip” or “shit i screwed up”.

This is an example of the kind of garbage release notes from this conventional commit autogenerated crap 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I couldn’t agree more! I think good commit messages are very useful, however, and I’d much prefer the conventional mood style for Commit messages, but rather prefer telling a story rather than this weird syntax all over the shop!

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I don’t like them either.

As for changelogs, I prefer hand-written ones over something automatically cobbled together. Typically, they are just utter rubbish in my experience.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe that is helpful to you: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt2html/issues/12#issuecomment-20792

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwww, I wanna run my hands through this fur so badly! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net No beak, no feathers, … looks suspicious! That’s probably a weird mammal!!1! 😅🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Aren’t yhere onlu 12 puzzles this year? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about a drop bear? 🧐🤣😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Are you using your Gitea username instead of got@ ? Are you forwarding auth?
