@npub1qmc…v6gx Erin! Hi. Uh, I just got an urgent message that you’re urgently needed offline again. Yeah, sorry, weird, right? It said it was urgent, though.

A great way to save on those summer energy bills is to simply have your fridge break.

Someone should check in on the astrophysicists.

@npub1qrq…pur3 https://psb1558.github.io/Junicode-font/ may be of interest to you: notice the old-style punctuation spacing mode.

A bad thing about social media is this pattern where a person with expertise starts rebutting bad ideas, and it’s great, but over time it primes them to see everyone who doesn’t hold exactly their opinions as part of a horde of goons with terrible ideas, because that’s who they end up interacting with.
Eventually their online persona is, like, Truth Gladiator. And that’s so much less interesting and important to me than Thoughtful Person With Useful Perspectives.

“Vim is actually very easy to use if you have the intended input hardware” is an example of a low-effort, recognition-based joke that I would never stoop to make here. https://mastodon.online/@mwichary/111309075463188206

@npub1960…w6j3 Any opinions or reflections on this one? I skimmed it and found it odd for reasons I couldn’t put my finger on. Maybe I just didn’t understand it, or maybe it’s my relative disinterest in ViTs as currently imagined.

Dear software people,
Unicode is older now than ASCII was when Unicode was introduced. It’s not a weird new fad.
It’s complicated but so is the domain it represents. We recognize that we have to think about time zones and leap days and seconds, for instance. And it’s a cleaner abstraction when you aren’t halfhearted about it.
Sincerely,
Charlie

It’s good to see Mastodon and Bluesky showing a lot of life, but I will say that I was secretly hoping Twitter would die without a replacement and we’d start sending personal e-mails again. I miss those.
