@nprofile…843t I've been trying to walk more recently, but finding suitable loops that are accessible to me while I can't drive isn't hugely easy, the best loop I've found by my house is around 6 miles, there's another good one but it's too long for me to do regularly.

@nprofile…843t I read "363 mile path" and thought "pfft that's nothing compared to the Appalachian trail" and then I realised that it's about 350 miles longer than I've walked in one go in my entire life.

@nprofile…tywj the funny thing is you can probably buy a little board that does exactly that for £3.29 from a text only ad in the back of Railway Modeller Monthly

@nprofile…843t that's what I was going to say but it seemed flippant!

I'm keeping @nprofile…law7 's words on Captain Isotope in mind as I'm working on my toy EPOS today.
I'm building something that historically would need the support of at least a small company, with several different knowledge/skill domains required that would generally be different specialists handling. I'm a dude in a remote cottage with the bare minimum skill in all of these areas (though, actually I think I have a higher level skill than I feel like I do maybe?) and it's the first time I'm tying them all together like this for a long time. The end result may end up being kind of shitty... But equally it will be something cool that wouldn't exist otherwise. And it'll enrich the lives of at least some of the lil people who play with it.

I sometimes think "hey wouldn't it be cool if there was a consumer grade commercial unix"
Then I remember that there is
Then I use it
And I hate it

@nprofile…843t when I first read them I read them out of order because I just picked ones that sounded interesting from my dad's collection, when I got to Colour of Magic I actually thought I'd accidentally picked up a book from a different series by a different author

@nprofile…843t I've seen it said that if you don't like Colour of Magic, you'll love the rest of Discworld

@nprofile…7nxw oh oh oh! I have one of these cursed objects that someone gave me a few years ago, I spent ages looking on the outside for a usb port, eventually I googled it... The usb port is INSIDE THE PRINTER

Things could have gone so much worse.

@nprofile…7nxw you've just reminded me of how often, when I was on the service desk, I'd get customer feedback that was like "Robin is a no nonsense analyst and fixed my problem very promptly"
Which I think is polite-code for "wow this man is incredibly autistic"
I try not to be rude to people who need polite chit chat, but sometimes when it's too much for me I maybe come across less polite than ideal

@nprofile…7nxw one of my new years resolutions is to get better at this type of communication, mostly because ineffective communication frustrates me but I can't get too pissed off because I'm bad at it too.

@nprofile…843t did the deck really only come out in 2022? It's become such a fixture that it feels like it should have been around longer!

@nprofile…843t fell off the back of a truck?
I have an Anbernic handheld that I'm pretty sure is available for $50 including shipping if you don't mind waiting for it on the slow boat from china. I got it for £60 and even that seems impossibly cheap for what it is.

It literally retired and went to live on a farm.
Just like my childhood cat.

@nprofile…a56q why would I want to fight you on this? It's the most truth I've ever seen on this network.

2024-12-17 19:33:34

- reply

@nprofile…a56q that's kinda my point, I don't understand why it's worth being combative about to the point of blocking anyone who disagrees.
I don't think it follows that saying it's not a programming language is a means of enforcing lesser pay or prestige. It's just a fundamentally different skill.

2024-12-17 19:11:54

Fundamentally "is HTML a programming language" is a question of philosophy and I have a deep distrust of anyone who claims there is a concrete answer to it either way. Doubly so if a cornerstone of the argument calls into question the intelligence of those who disagree.

2024-12-17 16:50:56

I just got off the phone with my grandfather. We were talking about work a bit and he said something like "I suppose most small towns in America have their own TV stations" and I told him the extremely condensed version of why that's not the case anymore and how @nprofile…law7 set in motion fixing that

We went for Blue and Brown, live being brown because that's the colour your undies go if you touch it
