@lasombra_br similar aphorism to “never go to bed on an argument”

I’m so angry and disappointed with the Debian web team. I shouldn’t have checked my mail last thing before bed.

@futzle I do not watch your streams, didn't even know you had any.

But I'm kinda cringing, so probably the latter?

New blog post: Nine Inch Nails, Paris, 2025-07-07 https://jmtd.net/log/nin_paris/ #music

Crossing the bridge yesterday, I saw two ghost bikes in the middle of the river. How did they get there? 🤔

Two bicycles are partially submerged in rippling water, with their frames and handlebars visible above the surface.

Just a reminder to the people who have been on Mastodon or the Fediverse awhile: remember to follow some new people every once in a while, especially someone with few followers who would just like to connect and be heard by someone. It’s easy to get caught in our routines, but there are new, kind, interesting people joining everyday.

@azonenberg @mcc I use nemo (cinnamon’s fork? Not sure) entirely because of the type ahead find thing, and none of the rest of cinnamon (or gnome)

Can LLMs delete code yet?

@metacosm Ah I'm sorry! I considered buying tickets for the Lyon show as well, but didn't before it was cancelled.

Travelling home from Paris after an overnight stop to see Nine Inch Nails. Good show. Still processing it. Feeling my years.

My recent tech-life has enjoyed utter separation between the abomination that is Slack and the dream that is the Remarkable tablet. Until now.

@ross I once put an order in for the tonic (ti escapade variant) before realising I hadn’t paid off the escapade yet so couldn’t use a cycle to work scheme for the tonic. The one that got away…

@ross can you explain the key differences between Cascade and escapade? Besides no drop bars. It’s too subtle for me!

@ross yep!

New fork arrived! #cycling

@zhenech @jpmens neat hack :)
