Biblically accurate surveillance state

Lately I've been working on repairing my newly acquired chromatic accordion.

I'm close to be able to play Star Wars songs, or any stuff, because you can play pretty much everything with it.

However, it's deeply broken (the bass and chords are all messed up), and I'm reverse-engineering the entire rods and mechanical system.

I love doing that.

It's the exact same as my job: take old stuff, know how it works, create a maintainable documentation of its system, and then plan to repair all of it

Very wise analyses and arguments about generics in PHP as of the recent RFC that was proposed

For Pride month (and beyond) I’d love us straights to make an effort and boost queer voices and not post screenshots of or links to anything hateful.

Star Citizen fans be like "Yeah the game will release eventually one day".

HelloGames devs providing free content for No Man's Sky for 10 years must laugh just a bit.

By the way, they announced that Light No Fire (the fantasy setting with No Man's Sky's engine and an Earth-sized planet) *might* release at the end of 2026, so I expect the game might actually release in 2027.

I haven't waited for a game to release for a very long time, but I am really waiting for Light No Fire, definitely.
