@laura thinking about it some more and remembering a situation where I was getting measurements for a tux.

The gal measuring me was new and small, and I'm a big guy, and she got a bit friendlier than either of us wanted. Clearly, she was embarrassed and learning, so I didn't comment, but...

It makes me think that there might be some formal guidelines for people who fit clothes that might be applicable and helpful.

@laura really interesting, thanks, I hadn't thought about any of that.

@platypus I feel like you need to live-toot highlights while reading this. 😉

Managed to cut my nose shaving.

No, not by my nose, my actual nose.

I was going to shave my upper lip, got distracted and cut my actual nose. Felling pretty stupid right now.

@paperdigits as an old, I assume that's just what college is like these days.

Incredible, a scare piece on Tor to sell Dashlane.

As Dallas wants to increase the value of its name internationally, this is a great way to do it. No one expects Dallas to lead on tackling Climate Change, so by taking it on they get people to reevaluate Dallas as a whole. — https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-city-hall/2019/02/24/mayor-mike-rawlings-positioning-dallas-global-leader-addressing-climate-change

@federicomena I don't know, but I always assumed it was for "input".

@sergiusens @Wimpy @popey it is important that you shame those without ActivityPub accounts 😉

This is neat, glad that Collabra is sponsoring it. The real gain I see is that graphics chip vendors can release one simpler driver, hopefully increasing support for the Linux graphic stack. Hope they realize this and chip in some expertise. — https://lwn.net/Articles/770390/rss

@alatiera bug. Especially since you have no thread handles to ever shut it down.

Super memory leak too all the references remain valid.

The absolute worst choice for behavior here is to deadlock. Sending to a nil channel should be a panic if anything does.

There's no recovery here, you just lose that thread forever.

Just realized that upgrading to Nextcloud 15 (from 13) has moved the logo in the "Share with me" HTML snippet for your website.

Means that mine was broken. I fixed it. If you use that, you might check to ensure the graphic still works.

I hadn't seen Mastofeed before, seems like a nice way to make it easy for folks to put their social feed on their website:

@elopio @elopio that's an interesting thought, I was trying to figure out how to sync this to Twitter.

I figure screenshots are best. Twitter loves that.

It would be interesting if there was a programming language that would make log messages and comments interchangable at runtime.

Many times you can follow code because of the comments, but often the log messages also provide a major clue into what is happening. But, you have to choose one or the other. Being able to choose both, where you're effectively setting logging level via syntax, might encourage more readable code.

@jalcine @annika I'm a fan of https://weather.gov.

It isn't as pretty as the others but they have no motivation to scare folks into checking back. Just the facts.
