Untangled a slinky. Feels like the most I’ve achieved in a week!

Oh hai did I write this yesterday? Could have done today as well. Maybe need a holiday

Saw this and thought it was talking about LLMs

One of those evenings (hell, days) where I had the urge to create, but no goddamn spoons to do it

@mhoye I’ve never seen “which” as a built in before. Hmm! I’ve seen “command -v” used as an alternative when “which” isn’t installed. Or is it an alias? (“whatis which”?)

Tempted to write a theme tune for each of the dramatis personae in team meetings

Things I’ve used my synth for in 2025 so far: debugging Linux audio

@atoponce I’m fairly sure only humans get the credit for this

@metacosm @fred a long time ago my first manager at redhat worked really hard every year on a summit keynote. How times have changed
