honestly: based.

@0xSero "process all my git history changes and recommend findings" this is a great idea.

/goal every night, ideas: - process all my git history changes and recommend findings - monitor x online resource - refactor and reduce lines of code of repo - build out demos for the mornings

@goblinodds @cljack @soul_needed what's the worst that could happ- oh no..oh..no...

@burnerDevAcct @cljack @soul_needed the only problem there is that somebody gets to write the test 🙃

So far my main takeaway from the Napoleon biography is a growing conviction that our current social model of keeping kids from any moral or legal responsibility for anything until 18 at a minimum is a huge historical aberration that's actually driving society insane

@goblinodds @cljack @soul_needed i legitimately think there should be some sort of test for voting rights. just like getting a driver's license. ie, "historically, enacting rent control has had what effect?" A, B, C, D. fill in the bubble. open test - you're allowed to look up the answers while you take it.

@cljack @soul_needed yeah i think ur right also the idea of letting people vote before many of them have ever had an adult responsibility is insane

@RodeoProfessor "but do we actually want nobody living out here just to bring back entirely free moving herds of animals?" yes, that's precisely what environmentalists and leftists want. that's why nobody takes them seriously.

Wildlife posts go mega viral like this every week. Their premise is always something like “we’ve killed all the buffalo and wild horses in America.” Obviously written by people who don’t live out here because wild horses are one of the biggest land management challenge in the West, there are way too many of them and they eat all the food, the landscape turns to dust, and the public would lose their minds if we “managed them” or “drove down density” in any way that involved mortality of any kind. Every Western state has BLM corrals full of wild horses looking for adoption for this very reason. This isn’t just my opinion either, the federal agencies have run the numbers for the carrying capacity of public range (how many wild horses can public rangeland reasonably feed) and there are 3x the wild horses vs what we have to feed them on public range land. BLM deals with this through removals from public and private land (when they wander onto your property you can call the Feds and get them taken to a corral to be adopted). Each year the plan is to remove about 12-14k but it’s hard to do as the scale out here is so large and they cross the mosaic of public and private. But like lamenting wild horses being gone is like lamenting pigeons are gone from whatever city you live in. Then with buffalo, I mean Americans have orchestrated the most comprehensive scientific recovery of that species maybe in the history of the field of wildlife conservation, we now have herds on public, private, and tribal land that reflect the huge investment in buffalo conservation that we’ve made as a society. Yes, we don’t have pre American settlement wide open frontier, but do we actually want nobody living out here just to bring back entirely free moving herds of animals? Or is the new system where herds live on private, public, and tribal land and continue to be recovered by scientists, Feds, ranchers, tribes make sense for the modern age. Grow up Peter Pan.

@Plastician i am ready for the chinese century.

@bentossell i went down this rabbit hole recently. forgejo on self hosted is the most widely accepted answer. but i know not everybody has a homelab.

re github should we all just be deploying to our own servers instead? keep code local? only publish open source code?

@tuuu28283 american. they're pretty similar though. only a couple different letters here and there. like the word color (brits do colour) or favorite (favourite).

アメリカの兄弟達 最近知ったんだけどイギリス英語とアメリカ英語の2種類があるのかな？ 兄弟達はどっちを使っているの？？

@ouranometrian2 which btw: getting emails and critiques from all sorts of parents about their shitty kids seems like the most annoying thing ever. zero interest in dealing with that.

@ouranometrian2 i remember them happening like once or twice per year. they were called parent teacher conferences and they were in the evening. but this was before cell phones and the internet which i have heard is the norm now.

I really dont remember all these parent events in elementary school. My memory might be fuzzy. They definitely didn't happen in middle and high school. Is this a class thing again? I went to a poor school. Ain't no way parents were getting random days off. We also never had a half day. I never heard of such a thing until the last few years

@mattbramanti bazarr also, if you're a subtitle enjoyer like myself. all of those paired with a good usenet plan is unbeatable.

prowlarr/sonarr/radarr/lidarr are so cool how have I missed out for so long

@___frye i'm more legal tech than coding, but also searching right now. very different landscape than a few years ago. 2/3rd of jobs want hybrid. very few fully remote positions. and on LinkedIn jobs - you will easily see "100+ appplicants" for every position that is more than 4 hrs old.

what’s the climate like for getting back into full-time tech after being away for a while? i hear a lot of mixed opinions but unsure what to make of it all for context -- 10+ years in software dev. mainly iOS, plus full-stack web on side projects

bruh

@ReedTimmerUSA living in the future really kicks ass. just incredible what technology + a small group of people can accomplish these days.

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25

@TrendsDotGlobal @FT i don't think it's an issue at all. anybody with a brain knows anthropic is going to make a boat load of money - that doesn't mean google will fail. i would invest too if i had as much money as he does.

@FT Please explain to me like I am 5 why Demis Hassabis is investing in one of Alphabet's biggest competitors in the AI sector? 🤔

@letsunpackthis0 @Denver7Traffic and drugs. this area is pretty bad and this crash is in the middle of it all. colfax & sheridan at the top left corner.

@Denver7Traffic Not surprised, the speed at what some of these motorist travel at is super alarming. No consideration for others

This is raw video of the aftermath of a wild and horrible looking crash at 10th and Perry in west Denver. Looks like the car may have gone airborne and crushed a sign, fence, shed and other things. The intersection is closed but there is light traffic.

@levelsio what time are you getting into bed? 1am or so?

I wake up about 10am My peak time for exercise is about 5pm I've tried earlier and I'm not as strong, later like 10pm and it messes with my sleep a bit

@esrtweet was thinking recently something like this would be nice. i'm on my phone so can't try it this evening, but if it's not in there: showing the date the package was installed and/or last used/accessed (is that possible?) would be incredibly helpful.

Announcing inventory release 0.9 A pain-reduction tool for Linux and *BSD system administrators. It lists all your packages from every installer, incuding: apt, pacman, dnf, zypper, apk, emerge, xbps, flatpak, snap, pipx, cargo, gem, yarn, pkg, npm, homebrew, and nix. It normally tries to skip packages in your system base, but you can override this. New in this release: Beta release. Tested on apt, flatpak, npm, gem. My newest project, started just yesterday and brought to you in collaboration with chatGPT 5.5, witout which I couldn't have written over a dozen system-specific back ends in tles than 24 hours. Please test on your system if your package manager is not one of the above. You should see a 4-column report in a very obvious format. Please report successes here and failures on the project bugtracker. gitlab.com/esr/inventory

Today in 1980, America built the world’s first data center in St. Helens, Washington. When they turned it on, it generated power equal to 67 Nagasaki bombs, causing the following ⬇️
