Me: OMG this music is SOooo Goood! I need to add it to my favorites!

… and it’s my favorites playing.

Happens all the time.

Interesting side effect of modern OCR systems just *being always present*. It used to be that if an image was a hyperlink you could long-press it to open in a new browser tab. Now, if the image has text on it the phone just gives you text controls instead and you can’t open the link in a new tab.

I miss _why. But it’s more than that. I miss the whole vibe of that scene in that period in time.

A joyful Ferris the crab throws confetti under text that reads "Happy 10th birthday, Rust 1.0!"

Today marks a decade since the 1st stable release of #rustlang 🎉 To commemorate this milestone, we asked Karen Tölva (Ferris creator 🦀) to design a celebratory graphic & answer a few questions in our blog.

Congrats to EVERYONE who has made Rust what it is today 🧡

While you can see the product still existing it’s hard to say if the parts of code you personally modified are still the same.

Almost all products I worked on 10-15 years ago are still around. But it’s hard to say if there’s any lines of my code in there.

Horoshok - my budgerigar. Depicted in summer of 2022, she’s sitting on my knee.

We miss you 💛💚

Also, the inflation figures they quote are based on very large selection of goods and services, and when you only select grocery prices and rent the figures are always significantly higher. And these two are always the most impactful.

Ah, it’s almost perfect but very wrong!
It should be DebIan, not DeBian.

Debian is named after first names of Ian Murdock - the project founder- and his wife Debra.

Tom Houghton has a wonderful skit about this www.instagram.com/reel/CyYZSov...

The GDPR-mandated data exports that FB and others provide are available via their controlled UI only and take hours / days to process. It’s all done to prevent real-time “data out” scenarios. Otherwise, alternative UIs a-la Windows Phone would be possible.

WinPhone UI worked because there were APIs providing data for that UI. You used to sync FB, Twitter, Google data onto your contact list on your device. All these APIs are gone now. Every service lets you upload your contacts to them, but not get them out. Likewise, feeds aren’t available anymore

HTC came very close on integration side on Android, and Palm Pre did somewhat decent job on webOS. Years later FB, Twitter, Google, etc. pulled the rug under them, because “they wanted to control the experience”, and all these integrated systems fell apart.

No one came close on UI front.

The door has two plaques. The top one says: “Administração” and the bottom one says “Warning. Fart Zone. Enter at your own risk.”

Gues what’s behind the door 🤣

I don’t think I can do that, so my claim to fame is iddqd / idkfa

Still my least favorite delivery company.

We tend to always set them to deliver to a store nearby. Somehow this works 10 times better than to-door delivery.

Now, some people take their fictional attraction too far, and start bringing their obsession with the character into their daily life. This is where weird things like body pillows with that character printed and other questionable things may come into play.

A waifu would be character in that fictional universe that the fictional you would be dreaming of getting together with and hopefully getting married and creating a family in future.

Ah, ok. Here’s how I understand it. Say, you’re a fan of some entertainment franchise (a game, a tv series, etc). Now imagine you were a character within that fictional universe. The real you, your memory, your family, etc wouldn’t exist and wouldn’t influence your decision making.

The correct question is: “Who’s you waifu, Aman-san?” uwu

My bird is still around locally on a phone but I dread the day I’ll be forced to upgrade.

On the boat the engineers would just draw this diagram for us any time we asked a technical question.

I sometimes do, but most of the time sky tries to convince me I’m not following anyone

I’m holding a large round cake decorated with a bright orange Ferris-the-crab on top.

Check out my birthday cake this year!

Opening of Kiruna's New City Center An Arctic city is moved as a step to enable continued ore extraction. After 18 years of planning, the opening of Kiruna's new city center has finally come.

Kiruna is a fascinating city in that it's being slowly moved 3 km away from its original location, building by building, or you could even say brick by brick.

Having been here couple of years ago and now again, it makes for some really interesting disorientation 🤪

We just spent about an hour trying to set up a custom ringtone on an iPhone and failed.
