ah, it works now. maybe I just needed to do an action to mark me as alive
got a new phone!
and my timeline in tusky is empty. did all my followees disappear, or is tusky broken?
I like octodon. It is a nice little place, and it's perfect for that thing where you want to tell someone something, but it's a general "someone", not a specific someone.
(as is the fediverse as a whole, i suppose, but one of the pluses of octodon and others like it is the size. It's relatively popular and lively, but it's still _small_.)
With that, I present: facebook is evil. https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/against-facebook/
google pixel event!
is one of the pixels going to be my next phone?
or will it be iPhone 8 (plus)?
or something else?

"""
Then I tried to gingerly explain the concept of emotional labor: that I was the manager of the household, and that being manager was a lot of thankless work.

they got a whole pdf backing up this definition, which is not even about emotions in the first place!
ffs
words. they have meanings, people.
I dislike the term "emotional labor".
more specifically, I dislike how it was coined to describe one thing (the part of your day job where apart from bringing people food you have to wear a happy face and say "I'm sorry" even when it's not your fault (iirc)) and then people started using it for like three completely different things, just like that willy nilly.
things that are real, valid and worth discussing, but should find their own term!
have you questioned your gender yet today?
start now! we have to figure out what it knows! it could be the key to saving everyone!
It's a me, matejcik!
Just wanted to tell you (where by "you" i mean the infinite staring void that is the fediverse) that i'm on track with my studies.
Rather cool, considering that I haven't touched my studies in like year and a half.
Student life: non stop effort. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, three weeks a year.
big o notation cheatsheet. when they say ___, they mean ____
O(1) - it takes the same amount of time, every time
O(log n) - you know binary search? that's happening somewhere
O(n) - there's a loop somewhere
O(n log n) - there's a loop, and in that loop is a binary search (or it's a binary search and each time it examines an item it's gotta do a loop)
O(n^2) - there's a loop in a loop, think iterating over the pixels of an n*n image
Seriously, RPM documentation is so bad.
In RPM, the %_specfile macro will tell you the location of the current spec file.
It would be so nice if a list of such macros and their descriptions existed somewhere, instead of having to %dump and then search its output.
It would be also nice if the official docs told you about existence of %dump and you didn't have to rely on info from a random blog post from 2011 that you find on google.

So people who put their packages on PyPI remove tests from the distributions.
How lovely of them. Now we get to search their githubs if we want tests.

I mean, okay, I wanted to do a gui with conrod and I switched to printing in console basically six lines in.
I'll go back to "hello conrod" sample later when I understand the language better
but if you need to put together parts from seven different modules, each nested four levels deep, just to initialize the thing... one can't help but think that there's a better way.
in other news, I've been writing some rust today and despite some frustrations, it makes me happy by how much sense it makes.
despite the weird memory model, I have been fighting mostly my skill and not the language itself. so far anyway.
compare and contrast to vue.js (and webpack) which is generally awesome, but in many places I'm fighting the way the thing is designed to work.
maybe comparing a language to a framework isn't entirely fair, but...
when the instagram app wants to play a video with sound, it pauses my music.
THEN IT RESUMES WHEN IT IS DONE
android devs, take note!
⌁BREAKING NEWS⌁
The community in Berne, IN was rocked last night when a pack of wild millennials stalked and brutally murdered the antique furniture industry.
"I don't understand why they hate antiques so much!", said the mayor
The town's militia is coordinating with police to form a hunting party, with almost all of Berne's citizens joining in. Local officials are petitioning the government to send in aid in the form of tanks, air support, and emergency funds.
More as the story develops.
When people say "but how do I explain <gayness, transness etc.> to my kids?!", they don't mean the concept is difficult.
What they mean is: "how do I explain to my kids that I lied to them their whole life?"
For the record, you can still change keyboard shortcuts by editing GTK-standard config files.
Not sure how to find them in general or if they even exist in general. But they live in ~/.config and you can go look for "gtk_accel_path" string.
aw
as technology becomes more accessible, power user features are lost.
Today's example: GTK custom shortcuts. Used to be you hover over a menu item, press a key, that key is assigned as a shortcut.
Not anymore, because apparently it's a "break my application, my
documentation, and the GtkMenu code" kind of feature.
Which, tbh, it probably is.
Also a very useful feature when you need it.
