@nprofile…t3wn That’s not an owl, that’s a charged plasma pistol waiting to go off

@nprofile…6r7t I feel like the artist knew what they were doing here 🙃

@nprofile…gvnm I noticed an issue around… 3 hours ago? I couldn’t hit the server from a browser; it would just time out. It came back a little under an hour ago, so it was a few hours.
Could have also been some random issue with my ISP or DNS, if nobody else saw it 🤔

@nprofile…gvnm Did the server go down for a while? 🤔

@nprofile…5y8z Awesome!
Do you know what’s up with the color choices for the shirts? The v-neck colors have always been limited, but it seems navy isn’t on offer anymore — which is a shame because that’s 90% of what I buy 🥲

@nprofile…y4h5 It is confusing! What I’ve noted so far is that:
- the popups only show on mobile devices, but they seem to show for all articles
- you can read on PC (Firefox) and get no popups
- on mobile you can use reader mode to get around the popup (but you lose the images)

@nprofile…t3wn pre-pandemic, I got sick just about every year in a big way, like “take 2+ weeks off work” big. (I was also the person *trying* to get back to work and making my colleagues sick in the process — because I didn’t want to keep losing vacation time. Present Blair regrets this.)
Now with isolation (wfh, selective hangouts) + masking, I’ve been sick… maybe twice? And not as severe or for as long. It’s wonderful.

@npub1znz…8l64 I just had an awkward moment where I booted up Steam to play Kitsune Tails, but I couldn't remember the name of the game 🤔

@npub1aw2…8vv5 Sony *did* sell a hobbyist PS2 with Linux on it, but I think only in Japan, and it didn’t let you do exactly what a “real” developer would do… so yeah I guess it was the first!
But I miss XNA too. It seemed like it had such potential! But they eventually dropped the idea, and they never really allowed for performance-critical code. (IIRC, Vector intrinsics weren’t implemented, so doing basic vector math always took the slow path.)
