@thecanine@twtxt.net I love these. Pixel art is amazing. It looks so simple, but it’s really, really hard. 😳
@bender@twtxt.net Oh, no. That’s my baby. 😅 It was built in 1989 and I probably had it since the early 1990ies (it came with an IBM PS/2 Model 30 that they handed out to employees, IIRC).
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to phrase the answer without sounding too bitter. 🤣 Let’s just say, nope, it won’t work.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I’ve heard of that option (“Aufhebungsvertrag”). I guess the real challenge will be finding something else that isn’t just as silly.
And on the bright side, you don’t even have to hand over anything.
They actually say that with a straight face. (Did I mention that already?) “The age of maintainership is over. Anyone can now contribute to any project at any time.”
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, please post that list.
By the way, did you know that I have a five month notice period? Starting next year, it’ll be six months. Germany is the opposite of “hire and fire”, but it applies to both parties.
I’ve started collecting reasons against AI usage here, so I don’t have to repeat myself all the time:
@prologic@twtxt.net There is nothing I can do – except quit. The company explicitly wants it that way.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found him: https://movq.de/v/66f49383d8/vid-1779857134.mp4
It’s official now: People are vomiting AI code into a repo that I’m supposed to maintain. At the same time, I don’t have the authority to decline those PRs.
RIP.
Happy 5.25 day to anyone who celebrates.
(“Colour diskettes”. Ha.)
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Just a phone? These things have become shockingly good …
And we have a search function now. This should cover most of the basic features, I think.
I just missed the 20 year anniversary of my blog. 😬 What a stupid long time to do this.
This started out as a PHP page with user comments, MySQL as a database, a PHP webadmin … can you believe that? Totally unnecessary. But everything was “LAMP” back then, so that’s what I was using as well. I kicked out MySQL in 2011 (it just stored files since then) and eventually switched to static HTML pages in 2015.
RSS feeds have only been there since 2009, because I was late to the party. For a long time, I didn’t understand what they were good for. 🤦
@tftp@tilde.town Ah, I see. I have a feeling that a lot of stuff is going on under the hood all the time and it’s mostly the userland-visible things that stay the same? 🤔 But yeah, some stuff is really, really old, like the TCP code I’ve recently (tried to) read.
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Those are some really nice shots. I mean, the cat and also the shots themselves. Which cam is that? (Don’t tell me it’s an iPhone, that’d be boring. 😂)
