@jeffwilcox So I just got funded on this. First up, thanks, much appreciated! Secondly, I'm fairly sure I know which project (serial_test) but wanted to check out of curiosity. Username on github is palfrey, same as here.

Nice Friday here... sponsoring some open source maintainers and projects that we depend on using our engineering inventory and data #fossfund #opensource

@TeamYouTube Any timeline on a fix? This makes YouTube on my TV unusable currently, and that's basically the only reason I pay for a premium membership.

@palfrey this is helpful info, thanks for letting us know! we're looking into this rn but will follow up if we need extra details

Anyone else having problems with @YouTube ? If I want to speed up or slow down a video, I go to settings but it won’t open up. Can’t see any options.

@TeamYouTube @peter777j Seen the same problem on both AppleTV (tried logout, reboot and reinstall) and PS5 (on first install) . Works fine on my Android phone, but if I link to the other apps and try casting I can't change speed there.

@peter777j appreciate this report, we're looking into this rn. btw, is this happening across other devices? if you haven't yet, you can try relaunching the app & make sure that you have its latest version. also, you can clear your cache/cookies as it usually does the trick

@eyebrowsofpower @auntsarentgents I guess it depends how much you want to keep of that. I had a large collection of DVD-Rs like that, but they were mostly movies/TV. I started by just dumping everything onto some big new hard drives and then sorting from there.

@FireflyLantern @BriannaWu Ditto. Gah!

This wasn’t the final Dilbert cartoon but it should have been. 😂

@eyebrowsofpower This is literally just down the road from us. We'd originally planned on going to the event as we figured M would enjoy, but realised it was getting enough coverage that this was inevitable and wouldn't be any fun for him (or us) :(

@jessfraz Less abstracted, more finally, finally died off. Solaris and the Sun Ultra workstations and their terrible proprietary everything.

what are things in tech that older devs have dealt with that have since been abstracted away and would send new devs into a coma I’ll start: when you’d test coworkers changes locally because there was no CI or when you hosted your website from your computer

Oh, and as I haven't posted this here yet, I'm currently job hunting! If you need a Python/Rust Staff Engineer for a remote-only role on UK time that isn't blockchain related, have a look at my CV tevps.net/cv/

I recently took over the tagpy Python package, fixed a lot of things and did a new release. Along the way, I figured out how to deal with the badly documented process for making Python Wheels so I could make installing it easier, and wrote a blog post (tevps.net/blog/2023/01/0…)

@internetofshit First time I think I've seen anyone run with a more literal interpretation of "Internet of shit" theverge.com/2022/12/19/235…

@imranghory This raises the fun question: do I know how to use spreadsheets? I mean I know the basics, and I could learn more if I needed to, but I've also seen experts do crazy things with them that I don't know how to (mostly because I don't want to).

How did you learn how to use spreadsheets?

FYI Twitter doesn't block *all* fediverse stuff, just the big ones. So for example I can link to my account at @palfrey" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pleroma.tevps.net/@palfrey but mostly because I'm the only one on that server...
