After years away from Windows, I have to forcibly remind myself that on the Windows Terminal, the crappy emacs key combinations are not needed to edit stuff - CUA works. I wish CUA was more prevalent on the UNIXlikes.

I _should_ be happy with the "Coreutils for Windows" announcement. Instead, feel sad. Windows is slowly losing its identity.

Could I have Clippy back, please? And the Windows XP search doggie?

Hello! I’m looking for work, either freelance or on a work contract. I specialise in 2D animation and have good experience in isometric, pixel art, and puppet animation. Every RT is appreciated :)

My mom made an eBPF bee.

Exceeded the free weekly quote of six models using Google Antigravity. Quite a day.

The ever reliable VirtualBox has started giving me trouble since v7.1.0. Networking features which worked very reliably are now flaky, on all three popular OS platforms.

Our Nightwing omnibus is out now. This book is STUNNING. @brunoredondo.bsky.social @dc.com

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

#Go #VSCode Here's a search/replace I do, immediately after running the "Implement interface stubs" command in VS Code: Search: func (\(.*?\)) (.*?)\((.*?)\)(.*?)\{\n(\s*?)panic\("not implemented"\) Replace: func $1 $2($3)$4{\n$5panic("$2 not implemented") I find it very useful.

Thank you @bboreham.bsky.social. Your answer to an old issue helped me troubleshoot Weave Net on a Debian aarch64 VM running on Apple silicon today.

Walking the West Weald on the road between Skingrad and Kvatch, stopped to gaze at the stars and listen to the wind and crickets. Did not feel like doing this in Skyrim. #Oblivion forever.

Here's me on a Sunday morning, installing an out-of-support OS, to check for issues in an out-of-fashion use case of an out-of-mind networking software. Out of love. Ah, open source.

Crusty bread with plenty of butter. Happy trumps healthy for now.

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Optometrist: Perhaps I can be of service to both of you - that's not a cup.

I've been asking various AIs to write short stories in the fantasy genre for me. Without exception, they *all* have a character called Elara. Meta, Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude - all of them. I am now curious about this name.

Any book of fiction in my vicinity will be read forthwith. I do not understand "buying without reading" or "TBR."

The last bastion of classic Visual Basic, VBA, is still nice. The Microsoft Office applications have solid, powerful object models. The combination can be used to create solutions that will work anywhere that Office does. I will give some attention to this "ancient" technology, in the coming months.

10 years ago, on this day, I decided to part ways with .NET. It took me two years to fully do so, during which time I flirted with Python, Kotlin, Ruby, and Javascipt/Node. I was almost settled on the last when I came to Go. And stayed. Happy slightly belated birthday, Go.

Dear CLI designers: VERB NOUN, please. VERB [Options...] NOUN ideally, but VERB NOUN [Options...] will also do. As long as VERB before NOUN.

1. Find a problem with computer/application/code. 2. Think up brilliant solution. 3. Go to apply it, and find that I already did. 4. Months/years ago. 5. Sometimes find a note: "This shit doesn't work." Does this happen to anyone else?

Do any other gamers get violently motion-sick while playing *any* FPS game?

Note to myself: Debian 12 on VirtualBox 7 freezes if allocated video memory is < 8MB. For some reason, the freezing starts after you install kubelet, kubeadm and prerequisites.
