Being unemployed disconnects you somewhat from office holiday schedules. On 2024-02-19 I thought I’d ask Windows Copilot why folks were talking about a three day weekend.

Every time I type “red-black tree” my brain tries to make me type “red-green tree.”

i mean it does match my engineering style BUT ANYWAYS

@cestith @IamMrsGeek if ain’t broke, you aren’t trying.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 10:13

@tk I — uh — maybe?

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 11:29

Well that doesn’t seem great.

People telling me 2024 is the year of Windows on the desktop, but I don’t buy it.

Really, Dev Home? Really? You were working kind of okay before the reboot.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 11:44

6am me: I’m gonna play with some of the new Windows development workflow tools like Dev Home. I’m sure the 1.6 score on Microsoft Store is just review bombing.

10:45 me: Ah. I see.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 11:50

anyways

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 11:51

@jaywilliams I know I wouldn’t be able to do it.

Got an unverified suspicion that my Dev Home woes were related in some way to my refusal to use Edge as default browser.

A couple links through the installation process only worked if I opened them in Edge.

Unverified, but not interested enough to verify right now. Easier to reboot.

@cestith Minisquishy? Something? It’ll come to me.

New #PlanetCrafter update: “Procedural Wrecks”

I may have to set aside the Valheim home renovation campaign for a few minutes.

Impressed by @IamMrsGeek and her ability to editorialize while on-camera by briefly having part of her face out of frame so she can mutter to her exasperated heart’s content.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 12:32

@Binder every problem goes away if you’re willing to wait long enough.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 12:33

@IamMrsGeek yes but I’m impressed how you have expanded your repertoire.

Expletive sneezing is coming I can feel it.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 12:35

@IamMrsGeek you’re welcome.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 12:56

@book one must imagine @Binder happy

@amydiehl “Sun King CEOs” is gonna stick with me for a while.

Cooking while #ADHD

Looks organized and fussy, right? I guess technically it is. But really if I don’t have the appropriate spoon next to the appropriate ingredient I may switch them.

End up with a much different sauce that way.

@genehack 1) cool! I like them; 2) I believe the topic of your neurodivergent traits has come up in the past?

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 18:52

@cestith yep I’m fond of ramekins as well. @genehack calls that “Messy Place” cooking. Wait no that’s me. “Mise en place”

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 18:53

Fish!

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 19:19

@eric @genehack liquid vs dry measures!

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 19:33

@pho4cexa check again on the magnetic shelf to the side of the fridge. That’s where I put the tamari.

@skinnylatte Two Point Hospital is a lot of fun! I bury myself in it for a week or so every few months.

Two Point Campus does the same thing for universities, and it’s on sale so I’m very tempted.

hackers.town: 2024-02-19 Mon 20:04

@dessertgeek @raye oh god okay I’ll start working on my outline tonight. I haven’t even had half the trouble others have because I gave up a year ago. And I’ve been mostly unemployed that year which is probably but not definitively coincidental and okay anyways thank you!

@eric @genehack PRETTY
