@npub1rqw…r3ud Very nice!
I've been using hugo for mine, but now that I know that org-static-blog exists, I'll have to check that out.

@npub1w9a…04m0 To be clear: what conclusions are we supposed to draw from the Tomatometer rating for a movie that hasn't been released yet?

#python , why are you trying to kill my soul?
>>> from math import nan

... stuff like this is why people just memorize the rule "Avoid the magic floating-point values like the plague."

What turned out to be the issue?

@npub1psd…9sr7 Does the Recall data ever leave your local machine? I was under the impression that all the search etc. is implemented local-side, so the GDPR ought not apply.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 I'm not sure we'll find one because I'm not sure that Java is fluent. 😉

Got my computer camera back online, but due to a hilariously short wire length I show up at an angle like I'm a character portrait in Starcraft.

@npub1upk…tcwy Oh yeah, it's a thing.
Apparently, you can use a pre-commit hook to block commits to your main branch, but there's no one-flag-flip thing to do this because git, at a fundamental philosophical level, has no notion of "main" branch. Branches are branches. No branch is more special than any other. Linus recognizes that anyone could, at any time, fork Linux, make it more popular than the version he maintains, and become a new main.
That core philosophy point isn't the most helpful thing for workflows where that's nonsense.
