    @livi
    I sometimes have to disable red shift as I'm a designer and color is important (and I calibrate my monitors).

    But when I'm not doing color-related things (including photography stuff), red shift is definitely there on the evenings. 😉

    Yeah, GNOME and LineageOS both have an integrated red shift night mode, and I use that on both.

    The problem today is my ongoing migraine.

    (More light sensitive today than past few days. In positive news, I'm not as dizzy and am not currently throwing up, and my headache is less strong today.)

    It's daytime here (so red shift isn't so useful at the moment) and I'm wearing sunglasses indoors in a dark room and called in sick.

    My computer's monitors are too bright (to me today). I know! I'll dim them with that auto-brightness "energystar" mode. It'll be easy.

    *turns on energystar*

    It's using _twice_ the power now? And is brighter? Huh?

    *turns off energystar, manually dims the screens*

    I've realised that some non-English-English speakers may be confused by the British reaction to Mark Zuckerberg sending other people in his place after his invitation to speak to the UK Parliament

    While "you are invited to Parliament to speak on this subject" may be interpreted as "we'd like you come and talk if it's not too much bother" to some foreign ears, the phrase actually means "COME HERE RIGHT THIS SECOND YOU LITTLE SHIT AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF"

    Oh, right. "Just" is this blog post, which is quite a good thing to read, if you're in tech in any sort of way. 😄 http://bradfrost.com/blog/post/just/

    "Just" is really popular today. Apparently.

    (Thanks for that info, Pocket...?)

    @theoutrider Oh, I see all of these tags exist. Fun.

    There should be a #birdsofmastodon too then.

    I guess we could just shorten everything to #cats #dogs #birds... #birbs #borbs #wingyfrens or whtaever.

    Snap, makers of SnapChat, just laid off "over 120" engineers... which is a lot of people. But it represents just 10% of their developers, somehow. And their company has > 3,000 employees total.

    https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/8/17096844/snap-layoffs-over-120-engineers-confirmed-snapchat

    How does that one chat app have so many engineers?!? *boggles*

    @theoutrider It would be ideal to purchase both domains, set up single serving sites on each, and link them to each other.

    Pizza.horse would feature a horse made out of pizza. Horse.pizza would feature a pizza made out of horse (much like the lasagna scare a few years back).

    Then, at the bottom, a big link:
    "Is horse pizza not what you're looking for? Try pizza.horse." (and vice versa).

    There are even emoticons for it!

    @mray That's a true sentence.

    I still love Inkscape though, even if it is an accordion. 😁

    "Using #Inkscape is like playing the accordion."

    I bet everybody who can make sense of that sentence agrees and suffers with me.

    (I gave up and just spelled out "versus". You can abbreviate it as "vs." or "v.", but not just "vs".

    My conclusion: Adding the period after "vs." or "v." throws off spelling checkers, so it's often just best to write out the word completely, unless you're trying to be terse or using it informally.)

    while writing something—and wishing to be correct—I looked up "versus versus vs. versus v.", spoken as "versus versus versus versus versus"

    @theoutrider Oh, yes. What teenager doesn't like ROCH MUSIC?

    It's even edgier, thanks to ROCH MUSIC being set in an old-school shareware font CD poorly-tossed-together ripoff of the original Battlestar Galactica typeface.

    @ted @federicomena Drat. Copied the wrong link. This is at least part of Texas: https://people.redhat.com/~glesage/tmp/timezone/time_zones_countryInfo-mod.svg#m6

    I'm sorry for messing with Texas.
