Interesting. In the ferry cabin's en suite bathroom there is a speaker for the PA system.
The speaker is located somewhere near, and below the toilet.
Have you any idea how creepy it is when a PA announcement starts below your arse while sat on the loo?
Going around the house collecting translations of a phrase to test my multilingual text handling
salty, programming, JS, "you"
And no I don't care if you think it is "moving the ecosystem forward", the material reality is that you are sabotaging people's ability to rely on the tools they are using, and you are a giant asshole for it.
If you think that "moving the ecosystem forward" is done by deliberately breaking people's shit without technical necessity, then your visions of the future are garbage accelerationist bullshit
salty, programming, JS
There's a special place in hell for people who use a transpiler to JS from another language and *intentionally disable* the CommonJS support to force ESM usage, frankly
Language handling with half-assed libraries

Calling it "adulting" makes a lot of sense because "adult" is a culturally constructed role. When you are "adulting" you are often performing tasks to satisfy society, not yourself. You are doing tasks that have been obligated to complete simply by virtue of being an "adult".

I like the term "adulting" because it implies that you are doing an activity that isn't the default state of a human

Welcome to my new search engine All The Words You Searched For which either returns results that contain all the words you searched for or says that there are no results that contain all the words you searched for.
Current status: trying to work out how to do stemming in different languages reliably despite the frankly shit language coverage in many relevant libraries
@antiaall3s@chaos.social I would personally probably play along and then at some point become confrontational about it, but then that *is* something that requires a lot of energy to get right, so I wouldn't expect anyone else to do that

"If you block me it means you think I'm right" actually it means you're annoying and I wasn't enjoying our interaction. Life is too short to use my energy on strangers who suck.
bitwarden, enshittification, etc., personal frustration
@kmeisthax There's a couple news articles about it but basically they're starting to try and insert a proprietary SDK into everything, and also have conveniently hired the developer of another FOSS 'compatible' client
I have extended my tech corp detection to corps in general by also detecting a "Careers" button
Not happy about the CPU time yet; it's currently clocking somewhere between 15 and 50 milliseconds of CPU time per request, which really isn't acceptable, so that needs much more optimization I think. Profiler time, I guess?
It's absolutely hilarious that this works
lmfao, I've implemented a feature that ignores tech company sites effectively by looking for any occurrence of the text 'Pricing' as the sole content of a HTML element

@rail_ (And Free, by some definition, though that was a bit of a weird special case)
@rail_ Also thinking of A&A, XS4ALL, etc.
@rail_ For what it's worth, basically every single thoroughly reputable ISP I know of, in any country, started out of spite with the existing industry, after someone concluding pretty much the same thing... so yeah, that sounds like a good plan (assuming you're prepared to deal with the complexity)
