Hello, I like technology and art. Linux, the web, Go, Postgres, and similar things.
If you want to make your day better, add a note to your AGENTS.md file to use obscure quotes from your favorite movies every once in awhile.
> As they say in the lodges of the Pacific Northwest: "The owls are not what they seem" — and neither is that unquoted YAML string you thought was safe.

Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚲This evening has had a sad surprise for me.
Now, I am calling for #openSUSE to revert the recently imposed project-wide ban on young people:

@blainsmith @mariusor Go is my favorite language so far. I don't think it's perfect but it's been a good solution to my projects.
I find it hard to listen to people that use absolutes, "zero language features that do x".
@blainsmith @mariusor have you been bitten by Go's downsides before?
@blainsmith @mariusor I think people got distracted by the writing style, but I also think a tamely written post wouldn't have garnered the attention it did, and maybe people read it that otherwise wouldn't.
@blainsmith @mariusor what do you think of the feedback so far?

I hoped to get more people involved, but that wasn’t the case. Perhaps the next one will be 😅.
I loved @malin' mapping:
inoremap <C-l> <c-g>u<Esc>[s1z=`]a<c-g>u
I'll let you find what it does

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂One of my biggest regrets from the past few years was losing the habit of reading books. All the usual excuses: child to look after, too tired, not enough time…
I didn’t read a ton, but I had an average of 30 books a year. Last year I must have read 6. This year in early April I was at 0… and the realization shook me to my core.
Something had to be done.
I found out about KOreader and SimpleUI - having on an e-reader homepage a bar with reading stats would be an incredible motivator… I thought.
Jailbroke my #Kindle, installed #KOreader and #SimpleUI. And 18 days later I have… an 18 day reading streak and I’m averaging 43 minutes of reading time per day. I’m just so happy! 😊
(Unrelated but #Technofeudalism is REALLY GOOD - off to go resume reading it for another 20 minutes or so).
