Come to think of it.. it has been a while since I heard anyone use the expression "latest and greatest" and that's a pretty big mood

... it's just one guy periodically merging from Godot master and rebadging the documentation, isn't it?

Oops. Pro-tip: cover your cup of tea before folding sheets nearby (especially if your sheets have been sitting gathering dust in a laundry basket for 6 months), lest you end up with fluffy tea.

Like, I assign great value to the ideas behind open-source, but it's shit like this that makes me wonder whether I actually want to have
anything to do with the broader "open-source community" because it sometimes feels like nobody wants to ask themselves any questions beyond the LICENSE.md

Jesus christ people. Someone explicitly tells you why they can't use open-source stuff for its poor accessibility, and you all choose to respond by going "it's not that bad"? What is wrong with you??? How do you STILL miss the fucking point of the post

every site/app that lets you send formatted text must have a preview option so you know what your text looks without having to publish it

Somewhat recently, I've started using chopsticks.
And I think it's a wonderful example of just how good we are at tool use.
I had basically no experience with them, they seemed alien to me for a while, then I watched one short video and suddenly was...passable at it.
Like any other tool, you (eventually, generally) don't think about moving your fingers, only about what you want the tool to do, even if it might seem strange and complex to the uneducated.

Yet another app sacrificed on the alter of Kafkaesque app store bureaucracy. Granted unlike iA Writer they are going to only pull the Google Drive feature not the whole app. Another lesson why I never want to rely on Google for the back end #programming #google blog.panic.com/end-of-the-road…

When logging into Wordpress.org (login.wordpress.org) you have to confirm that you are not affiliated with WPEngine.
While this looks petty and childish it's another sign the Wordpress is in the hands of people who can't find less destructive ways to handle their fucking midlife crisis.

If you’re also put off by the new content warning styling, please vote on this issue:
polycule/household management, ADHD
After many iterations of trying to make chores happen pretty reliably and not get forgotten, in a household of 4 executively-dysfunctional ADHD creatures (me included)...
We seem to have found a way that works! At least for the regular/maintenance chores. Simply a table of chores, with 7 sets of 2 columns; one set for each day of the week, divided into "claimed" and "completed".
Whoever 'claims' a chore is responsible for its completion to the end (by doing it or delegating it under mutual agreement), and whoever actually does it (can be multiple creatures!) signs their letter in the relevant box(es).
By the end of the day, we can see exactly who did what chores, which ones were delegated, which ones were forgotten, and so on. And if something wasn't done quite right, we know who to talk to about it and clarify things.
Combined with some other (individual) adjustments, we seem to be climbing ever closer towards a daily 100% completion rate :)
Some of these chores don't strictly *need* to be done every day (could be every two days for example), but for the sake of habit building they're marked as daily chores anyway, if they're found unnecessary then a dash is put in the completion box for that chore/day to denote that.
The list is magneted to the fridge, with a pen immediately nearby at all times, and gets replaced with a clean printout at the start of every week.

VPN ads from English speaking youtubers: you ever got mad that there are not enough Netflix shows?

I'm pretty annoyed RE my #COVID infection.... I think I know who I caught it from. A friend of mine spotted me on campus and walked up to me while my mask was off, and by the time he was in my face I realised he had covid symptoms.
Like why do people lack basic fucking germ theory knowledge?! It's 2024, and IMO, its incredibly fucking rude to breathe in the face of anyone while youre symptomatic with any contagious disease!!!!

Anyway if you think the "danger, Will Robinson" styling of CWs in the new Masto skin is as dismissive as it is infantilising - or it's just not for your site - drop the css in reply into your custom css and be

@joepie91 Haha ik weet nog dat ik in de brugklas bij economie deze termen leerde en dat ik toen heel erg in de war was om deze reden. En de docent begreep mijn verwarring niet.
