Just bought a whole bunch of samples from @subsocials in YRR - stoked to make some beautiful weird things with them.

Happy 18th birthday to everyone’s favourite MySQL bug 11472! bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=114…

I got tired of trying to decipher scammy listings on Amazon from sketchy drop shippers so figured I’d try Aliexpress directly. It was a wayyy better shopping experience. Longer shipping but cheaper price. And I have more faith in the sellers.

@418unused thanks for github.com/luncheon/svg-d… ! No dependencies, works exactly as advertised and saved me a pile of time. Origato!

I just got my first GPT generated spam from my two new least-favourite companies @kalendarai @Hivex_io ☑️ awkward language ☑️ bad mail merge ☑️ irrelevant suggestions ☑️ zero regard for anyone's time 🤮 gross

I need to make a simple account system for a static single page app. Super low traffic. Dozens of accounts. My dream would be somewhere I can run SQLite and a Ruby server for $5 a month or less. Does that exist?

I loved this podcast about Eugene Debs, father of socialism in the USA. Principled and charismatic. Bernie Sanders’s hero. He even got 1MM votes for president back in the day. Is there anyone like him today? npr.org/2020/03/18/817…

Amazing story and photos of Kitsault, BC, a beautifully preserved ghost town from the early 80s that was only inhabited for a year. Awesomely reported by my favourite journalist ⁦@j_mcelroy⁩ justinmcelroy.com/2022/07/26/vis…
