LATER
- Have to go somewhere else in Montreal
- Bike rental system isn't an option because you can only pay with an app that does not work
- Well, no problem, I'll take the bus
- Oh wait no you can only pay for the bus with a specific piece of plastic, which you can only get by going to a subway station, which you can only get to by taking the bus, which you can only do if you already have the specific piece of plastic
Don't think I'm ever going to convince Fediverse to get into hip hop but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying
What I'm listening to today: "No Snakes Alive", King Geedorah
MF DOOM was a talented producer as well as a rapper, but was oddly shy about his own production work, quarantining his most significant self-produced work to side EPs and this somewhat nonobvious pseudonym. A pity because the Geedorah project has some bangers, like this one unhinged, utterly unique track with weird tempo shifts as if the song itself is staggering drunkenly. MF Grimm's on this one (it's old).
- Have to go somewhere in Montreal
- Oh look, a bike rental stand! Montreal has a bike rental system!
- Oh look, it's Tangerine, the same system from Toronto I'm already used to!
- Oh, the Montreal version doesn't use the same app.
- Oh, the Montreal app doesn't use the same login/pass or payment information as the Toronto one, and it doesn't support Google Pay.
- Oh… after entering my payment information it gives a non actionable error and refuses to let me make an account.
- Guess I'm walking
The thing I feel really called out by here is the giant gray bags under the eyes
It's really frustrated the clock alarm in Android has switched from the snooze/wake slider to a button. This is a piece of UI by design I'm fumbling for an object while laying down, tapping a button precisely is very difficult. If I switch out Google for something on fdroid can I get the slider back? Is there an easy way to just downgrade Google apps? The only reason to run up to date apps is security but a clock app probably is unlikely to get vulns.
@demofox Good luck with that but … well, the business didn't seem so stable to begin with D:
In Rust would you write it
use rocket_db_pools::{Database, diesel};
or
use rocket_db_pools::{diesel, Database};
ie should I put lowercase or uppercase first when alphabetizing. It feels weird for structs (specific) to go before modules (general)
If Electronic Arts went out of business I wonder if I would notice
Okay so it leveled out by the time the polls ended but what really confuses me about this poll series is for the first 100-200 responses it got, it seemed to be giving the counterintuitive result that twice as many Mastodon users had sisters as brothers
What I'm listening to today: "The Key" (Wubbledub Edit), Space Bunny
Does anyone like 90s EURO TECHNO. This is a vintage remix of a 1997 tech house piece, apparently recorded at the time but unreleased until a vinyl compilation in 2024. Oak aged for 27 years. Has a great bouncy energy to it and that classic electronic sound design. Really satisfying.
Poll (4 of 4):
Do you refer to your non-binary sibling[s] as "bro"?
Poll (3 of 4):
Do you refer to your sister[s] as "bro"?
Poll (2 of 4):
Do you refer to your brother[s] as "bro"?
Poll: Do you refer to your friends as "bro"?

Fascinating megathread exploring a lost corner of the history of Japan's PC-98 line: a laptop (?) running Linux (!)
What I'm listening to today: "Mo Mophatt Roger", Attack Sustain
Does anyone reading this like NOISE here are three minutes of buzzsaw noises simply exploring the sounds of a newly-obtained pair of distortion pedals. Good amplifier worship audio. Would've assumed this was all guitar feedback if I didn't have the video
Quite simply, the world looks different once we attend to the historical reality that gender is multiple, bodies are mutable, personhood is successive, and variability is ubiquitous. Elden Ring
