I will always put the publishing date on my blog posts and their URLs because I’m not trying to waste anyone’s time with reader-hostile SEO garbage.

Bet you can’t guess what kind of outdated but improperly labeled link I just clicked to prompt a micro-rant like that.

@masukomi funky keypad, right-handed trackball and left-handed cat.
You got all the accessories!

@masukomi My old Logitech finally died a year or two ago. Been using something by Elecom which is almost but not quite as good.
The ploopy looks intriguing!

@lmorchard @masukomi It’s been a very long time, but I recall the Expert (or one of its ancestors anyways) being quite nice to use.

@jenniferplusplus I put a git repo in a fossil repo and then put the fossil repo in another git repo.
It was not one of my better ideas.

Looking at a job opportunity where “pension” is a listed benefit, which my dot-com poisoned brain had to read three times before successfully recognizing it as not “penitentiary”

@lmorchard some kind of shaved ice treat

@rafial a pensioner is a violent devotee of paper-free offices

Cosmetic change using MVP.css as the base, showing updated cards, and an actual scrollbar. Well, if you’re using Webkit. Firefox so far insists on its fine-liner scrollbar.

@ceejbot Its week one gameplay is better than a lot of technically post 1.0 games.
I feel like it’s still missing some QoL or ambience or something compared to Valheim (which has been cooking a lot longer so no judgment).

three cups of coffee today
shocked at how much I’ve cut back

@VE2UWY no idea

@ceejbot I definitely enjoyed my little hour or so. Been seriously impressed how quick they pumped out the hotfixes.
I think I’ll probably wait for the next big patch to revisit. Valheim, the many mods of Minecraft, and Vintage Story will keep me busy on the tree-punching side of things until then.

@IamMrsGeek well you like the manager as a person, so my A and B plans are right out. But you can get practical advice and a helpful pep talk from select coworkers maybe?

@ceejbot Minecraft modders went so deep they had to make a new game. Hardcore survival block game with knapping tools, properly inconvenient weather, mods, shaping and baking clay. Couple hours of that and i felt like I was learning things.
Then I died.

@ceejbot My goal is to last long enough to start chiseling stuff. That’s where the artistry part looks so cool to me.
hackers.town: 2024-01-26 Fri 22:50
@ceejbot oh right

@Wrewdison @IamMrsGeek that feedback has been given more than once in multiple forms. nice person but they let their anxiety take the wheel way too much.
