@prologic@twtxt.net So many people calling this thing “he” and saying things like “I had a discussion with him” or “he explained his reasoning”, it’s mind boggling. Nobody even questions it anymore.
@bender@twtxt.net (The original author calling it out would be this link: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327)
@bender@twtxt.net exactly! 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net LOL. Best test ever: if it doesn’t work out, walk a few steps to complete comfort. Win-win!
sleeping in my van tonight, which is parked outside the front of our house just as a test from overnight 😂
@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh god, make it stop!
Recently the guy maintaining chardet changed its GPL license to MIT because “it is a complete re-write” (by AI, of course). It was called out by the original author. Changing the license is something the current maintainer wanted to do for long time, getting nos, and nos then. That didn’t stop him 12 years later.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh yeah, we have heard plenty. The re-entry boom of the shuttles (when they were in service) and, more recently, of the SpaceX rockets boosters. Depending on weather conditions we might hear a lot, or nothing at all.
I will try capturing a “regular” launch as I see it from home one of these days. It is a curved white, blueish line in the sky, with a big, incandescent tip (the actual rocket burners, and boosters). Pretty cool sight.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear god have we lost our way 🤣 I mean seriously?! Can we no longer think for ourselves? This isn’t even “AI Slop” this is just poor pathetic lack of discipline 🤦♂️ – And, frankly, no leadership.
@bender@twtxt.net Must be crazy living this close to the rockets. 🤯 Have you ever heard anything (not just this one)? 🤔
RIP Vim 😢 https://hachyderm.io/@AndrewRadev/116175986749599825 https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413#issuecomment-4000394026
@bender@twtxt.net I see. Other shot is also quite colorful.
Since nobody asked for it, more Courtney. 🫠🫠🫠
@javivf@adn.org.es it was caused by the Falcon 9 rocket launch.
wow! 🤯
WTH is that?!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not a peep, just the visual. The little, almost white, dot and the bottom of the “drop” moved very slowly.
@bender@twtxt.net Uuuhhhhhh, this looks incredibly nice! Did you hear anything or was it just a visual thing?
Dang, I missed an opportunity! My mate just said:
Velkom to the mechanikk press tchannel
So, this happened this morning:
I call it a success! (Please excuse the terrible background noise and bad audio in general. I’m not a sound engineer at all. Also, no idea why I use plural in the beginning. :-?) https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/5mm-dowels/
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, right! I just looked at it. It’s bright. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hurray!
🎸today’s mood peak
Yay, groff 1.24.0 is out and this is fixed now (on the left):
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Today is full moon, did you catch it? 😃
Time rotate into archive feeds again.
@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, mate! These catkins are truly wonderful. So soft and fluffy to the touch. I love ‘em. :-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org as I a simple person (but with great artistic acuity, and humbleness 😂) I am, number 04 is my favourite of all. Nice clicks, all!
I missed the 20°C on Friday, but I took profits of the 10°C this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-03-01/
Awwwww, sooo beautiful! Handmade tiles for a tiled stove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8hBf5b99Jk
I’ve exhausted my stock of 5x30mm wooden dowels. Looking online for supplies yielded tons of merchants who are out of stock, ship only to businesses, offer only insane quantities (minimum of 10kg) or charge overprice for absolute joke amounts.
None of my local hardware stores has them, they’re either also out of stock or generally don’t carry them at all. Same with long 5mm diameter round sticks in general. What the heck?!
I just make a “dowel iron” tomorrow, a steel plate with a sharp edged 5mm hole. Since I’ve got heaps of 6x30mm dowels, I just hammer them through. They will be smooth and not corrugated, but that’s totally fine with me.
Ta, @shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe. There are plenty of third-party libraries implementing XDG directories properly. My point was that the Go stdlib half-assed this.
Since I’ve been recently appointed “the bringer of music” … 🤪

Looks very nice and cozy! The only thing I hate about caravans, and RVs in general, is the disposal of the bio “stuff”. 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net Lol, that huge, lit-up branding.
The magpies approve of the caravan, too. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net Happy camping, mate! That’s a giant rig. Don’t forget to snip one or the other pic from the landscape. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net congrats! That’s why you were so quiet. And now it will even get quieter, when y’all start camping all over Down Under. We lost James! 😅
@bender@twtxt.net Indeed 😂
