Hey @elilla did you say neojaponisme?

@PhineasX

@stefan That tool looks great!

I hope you’ve got a beefy server…

@rufustheduck @dillyd Great to hear that you're liking it here!

Send cats.

@blogdiva ah, thanks for explaining the distinction!

Over the past couple of years, I’ve seen more and more websites in German that are just auto-translated from English. And boy does it ever show…

@dpk Having been involved in a bit of GPL enforcement work, I can definitely say that most judges will look at whether the code is the same one as in the original work; and not worry so much about how it got there.

This isn’t GPL washing. It’s straight up infringement.

@stefano yep. We’re basically back to the beige age, except this time it’s silver grey.

C’mon, manufacturers. Do something fun.

I did too much capitalism today, and now I’m tired

@Gina Yep. Also, whatever you do, don't eat at the Quick Burger in there, if it still exists.*

*if it does, then I don't know what capitalism is good for

@elena Welcome to the global "hey, can you fix my computer?" community :-P

Good luck with the VPS!

@elena LOL 😂

Just buy the domain name, if it’s under 20€. Set a reminder for 11 months from now to check if you still want / need it.

@elena Hahaha, as if anyone here is going to talk you out of it 😂😂😂

A hearty “told you so” to everyone who can’t unlock their front door due to the AWS outage

@stefano Cool! I hope you get the BSD on the new laptop nicely tuned up eventually.

At work, I have to use all the Microsoft 365 stuff, so that gets layered on top of the machine's MacOS. It sure doesn't make things run any faster. And then there's all the usual corporate device management + endpoint security crap.

Still, the M1 is powering through all this cruft quite admirably. Unlike the Windows machines that my colleagues use...

Today I'm decommissioning my work laptop, and moving to a new machine. The 3-year leasing period is over.

The old one is an M1 Macbook Pro. While on previous occasions I really looked forward to the performance boost of a new laptop, with this one, I would have just kept using it for another 1-2 years.

The replacement is an M4 Macbook Air. According to colleagues, it's marginally nicer. But not "OMG shut up and take my money" nicer.

@evan @eniko yes, I agree!

It’s worth asking whether a) it’s desirable for such “definitive” results to be available; and b) whether “definitive” is even possible within the scope of technical design decisions.

Seeing Trump getting unbanned from various places seems to point to “no” as an answer.

@evan @eniko That’d be the same central authority that inevitably ends up making decisions that annoy significant parts of the user base

@lgsp @cwebber could anyone enlighten me as to what’s up with those waffles?

I’m bit from the U.S., and try to cling onto sanity by not following every detail of what’s happening there, so I’m unsure how a beloved breakfast item became a cultural signal.

@cwebber @KraftTea Right??!

If the manager is deep enough in the workflow to do the thing themselves, then that’s often (not always, of course) a failure to delegate.

@cwebber @KraftTea for several years, I’ve used “explain it to a manager” with good results 😇
