I really dislike Europeans and their hate for cookies--they're like the people who campaigned to remove BPA from packaging. What happened with the BPA? They tweaked the chemistry to something "not-BPA". Is it safer? Some say its worse.
Meanwhile, thanks to Europeans, millions of websites have to notify you they use cookies. I don't care--I've got tools to compost them at will and sites can use things that aren't cookies to track you anyway. https://octodon.social/media/3bnj5dsNeoGVjFbIv3U
The UX of Mastadon's federated timeline is starting to grate on me. Can't read anything while it updates. 😡

Google Earth keeps missing out on the opportunity to make money from Realtors. Serious money.

#NixOS is one of the strangest distros I've ever tried. But quite astonishing - I'll need to blog about it soon.

Almost *there* for adding #Cucumber #BDD for http://guide42.xyz/systems/systems-for-systems/ but its awfully "developer"-centric. It probably does not belong there. https://octodon.social/media/4NH2_lfCe3g-3qHmDPM
I don't keep up with technology like I used to, but briefly hearing about AMD Ryzen makes knowing how to program in #Pony that much more important if you want to squeeze performance out of so many cores. https://www.ponylang.org/ https://octodon.social/media/nUL309ChKH0-7dOZKs4
