@broonie thanks! Their fandom seems to be a bit more broad—minded than some older ones I’ve experienced

`Inode 4755297 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter. Optimize<y>?`

pffft of course! stupid question. Who wouldn't do that?

@drewdevault the Microsoft announcement doesn’t use the phrase “donate”. It talks about stopping being stewards and wine taking over as stewards.

Pondering this a little more: it’s Twitter thinking, shaped by the timeline being more of a torrent, where you can’t reliably find a tweet you had open if you switch apps. Instead of lists and stuff, perhaps the timeline could be browsed by time: “show me toots from lunchtime PST yesterday”

I’m curious as to how Taylor Swift fans treat the original recordings of her stuff now that the “taylor’s version” re-recordings exist. Would you be frowned at (or cancelled) if you bought one of the older ones now? Or admitted to listening to them? I wonder if all the b-sides and stuff have been reproduced.

On my Fediverse todo list: fetch lists of whom I follow; make an attempt at figuring out their time zones; add to private lists by TZZ. Rationale: the further from my TZ, the less I’m likely to see their posts. Intended as a corrective measure

@jwz @calutron I hate this too. The situation is much better on the Nintendo Switch, but still far from perfect.

Overheard: “explain it to me like i invest in crypto”

I just made my pleroma UI look like CD because why the hell not https://plthemes.vulpes.one/themes/cde-arizona/

@riddsteve I'll report back how well it works. It's already out of production, so it will live or die by how long they keep the App updated, I think…

@ttyS1 it’s light weirght enough for wearing all the time but the metal strap might not be comfortable enough for that

@ttyS1 in my case, I have an ancient Fitbit I was using only for step tracking and silent alarms. This could potentially replace it for both (and replace my regular watch for telling the time :)). This could also vibrate (and point the hand at one of four coloured circles imho) for other notifications if I wanted (new email etc) but I’m not expecting to use that

@ttyS1 battery life on the hybrid is 6-12 months. Feature wise it’s bare bones compared to yours: step tracking; some notifications via vibrate; time auto adjust from phone time. The UI is literally the watch hands: press a button on rim to request say, step target progress, and the hour hand will zoom around to indicate, then return

@ttyS1 non-screen basically. I’ve ended up taking a punt on this one: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/skagen-holst

Talk me in/out of buying a hybrid smartwatch

When you use a tooth brush, afterwards, is it clean? After the rinse, is it clean? The next day, you reuse it right? So it’s clean? What if you left it a week or a month?

@ttyS1 I might relax more if rolled out wireguard more i guess

@laurencet ah I see. Nice profile pic btw ;)

@fthevenet I still haven’t written a line of Rust ;)

@fthevenet I don’t remember there being as much hype, no. The anti-mono thing was driven by misguided concern about patents iirc. People developing with mono lost enthusiasm as a result. Some pretty cool apps bit rotted, and (imho) the Linux desktop (gnome in particular) was set back years. For Rust, I get that the mania is annoying. But frankly eg oppositional comments on LWN articles (which is what prompted my toot) are as bad or worse: https://lwn.net/Articles/986540/
