@jmtd A very Jonathany question. I organise by year, and have one directory caller 'archives', and years older than 5 years just go into archives, since I rarely reference them

@gregkh @musicmatze Nuclear winters aren't great for solar power though. Although I hear I'm in one of the best spots for it so I'm not complaining.

TIL: @NetworkManager 's `nmcli dev wifi` shows available networks nicely, is colored and even has a small graph:

@Edent Ah I understand better what's happening now, but don't have a solution, sorry :)

@Edent and if you pass your URL to curl -i -s, what do you get?

@Edent Your example doesn't work outside of the box? I *think* this would've worked the last time I used PHP? Could it be that the problem is rather on the browser side and that it's waiting for the </head> closure?

@Free_Press None of these fuckshits even like each other

I see so many claims that LLMs are now at the point where they can do the job of an intermediate software developer. If that's true, who would that benefit the most? Surely, if it lives up to its promises it should help free software the most, enabling millions of kids and hobiest all over the world to just press tab until their vision materializes.

But if that were true, there's like a Fermi paradox, because where is all this software? Where's all the good new exciting things being developed?

@classicweb This was the golden era of the web, when most web people figured out how to use CSS properly, and web pages looked good and were fast.

Somehow I'm still not out of fucks to give, so here's one of my largest handouts ever.

1. Fuck Trump.
2. Fuck everyone who ever supported him.
3. Fuck everyone who ever tolerated his supporters.

That is all for now.
You're welcome.

true HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment this morning: over the holidays, my sticker guys were having a special on red octagons, so I designed and ordered 250 "Slop Sign" stickers — but while I was in China, someone stole them out of my mailbox. Bummer, I figured; they probably trashed them as worthless. anyway while walking to the subway I FOUND ONE OF MY STICKERS STUCK TO A MAILBOX! Whoever swiped my stickers is sticking them up around the neighborhood! This is the best thing that could have happened!

Sticker, red octagon in the shape of a US stop sign, stick to a mailbox. Sticker reads “SLOP” in Highway Gothic. Close up of the red octagonal sticker: “SLOP” in Highway Gothic.

@stuartl Being 44, I've made peace with this, I keep my expenses low, and plan to transition to paid for maintenance of a few pieces of software. Relying on a day job just doesn't seem sustainable anymore. I think the people who are my age who hope to work at the same company until they're 65 have some hard realities that will hit them.
