Vivaldi Social Vivaldi Social is part of the Mastodon network and is hosted in Iceland by the makers of Vivaldi Browser. Everyone is welcome to join.

The Vivaldi browser one, social.vivaldi.net But I don’t check the timeline at all. The reason I like Mastodon more now it’s just me and the people I follow and their boosts :)

So in case it’s useful in the future, I’ve been posting way more on Mastodon nowadays, the atmosphere feels better. It’s a hassle, I was way more interested in Bluesky, but ugh. On the other hand, I don’t experience transphobia, so my opinion here is worthless

I mean Jay and the rest of the leadership

Is this place still very transphobic?

To be fair I myself think it’s surprising I used to do it

“I asked chat GPT”

I remind you all that fucking Kissinger got that fucking prize

Huh, that’s how you should use them if you don’t wanna struggle. A Neovim buffer is a GUI tab. The problem is the other way around, when you try to use Neovim’s tabs as GUI tabs. That doesn’t work unless you write a bunch of scripts and accept some corner cases

I want Google to crash in the most spectacular way possible

Fucking YouTube, fucking autodub

Substack is a bad place.

She wasn't really "deported," was she?

She was in international waters when Israel illegally boarded her ship, detained her, and then bought her into Israel before shipping her to Greece.

That sounds like a lot of things but "deported" is not one of them.

I’ve seen a bunch of posts welcoming new people from here on Mastodon. I don’t think people is migrating, but just in case: although the default UX is better here, Mastodon has better vibes, so I’ve been posting more there lately.

And most of my UX-related issues were solved by

Our main ally is looking to do regime change in Latin America like it’s 1973.

Nah, you know what it is, I’m just saying he does it so naturally 😅

What if I tell you he has perfect Spanish gringo accent? Oh wait! 😂

Wait! Are you asking people to think about the thing at hand instead of blindly following folklore?

I don’t know why DiCaprio speaking gringo Spanish made me laugh so much.

This is One battle after another endorsement

What are you using to start the simulator?

“I mean, this is why I think I brought up from the beginning, this kind of point about the things that I did find exciting in programming and the things that made me want to do it, are all the things that are being removed in this system”

“It's like for me, coding is a it's like an embodied first person, you know, experiential activity that I go through” 🥹

– @jimmyhmiller.bsky.social: that’s not what the paper is about
– Me: I want all the thoughts on static type checking‼️

Half way through, and I wanted to add a bunch of comments but I was working out. The one that persists though is how can you listen to this and then threat computers as just another appliance?

I’m getting into levels of I only read literary works levels of snobbery regarding programming

“I think programming languages are also arguments for when they're done well, for how this is a new way of doing it”

The problem of listening to this show is that it produces thoughts

“we got to keep this episode really short today because I want to” said @spiralganglion.com, at the beginning of an almost three hours long episode

I’ve been thinking though, somehow we should be able to make Mastodon bearable for non-nerdy folks…
