I've updated my EMacs config to remove EVIL mode. We'll see how this goes. Lately the modal way has caused more friction than it's worth, and after two decades of piloting vi(m) it's not like I'll forget anyway.

More solidly embodying my oldness by throwing my back out yesterday. Possibly the least enjoyable thing I’ve ever done.

@randynose @nathand@fosstodon.org @Gina I hear it’s fine if the rug a) lacks fringe (or that fringe is tucked under) and b) has a backing mat to prevent it sliding across the floor.

@kyle @karmanyaahm and containerized electron apps (snap or flatpak). ☠️

New keycaps for my Drop ALT. When I saw the nod to the space race I knew I had to buy them.

@Gina like everyone else said: apply to both. Tails is great and I use it for a lot of different things.

@kyle looks like scarves zoom off the loom! Very cool. Something like that would take me at least two weeks to knit if I had the time to attack it a few hours a day.

@kyle light plays with fibers in some really cool ways. One of my cowls looks completely different inside under tungsten vs outside. It’s not even a funky dyed yarn either, just some undyed alpaca.

"Today was my last day at Oracle, and thus also in the MySQL team. [...] MySQL is a pretty poor database, and you should strongly consider using Postgres instead."

@kyle that looks awesome man! Super interesting to see how the same kind of fiber can make such a different fabric with a different method of making loops and such.

@Gina what an awful view to have to deal with! Hope you’re coping okay and not missing the beauty and wonder of the Dutch winter too much 😂

@kyle these things happen, and you learn from them just like all the weird mistakes we made setting up servers 20 years ago that we’ll never make again.

Ownership isn't about possession, it's about control. When hackers "own" a computer, they don't physically have it, instead they compromised it so thoroughly that they have full remote control. If you physically have a computer, but someone else has control, they own it.

@kyle exact same feelings here. I thought I’d lament the loss of the trackpoint, but I use a mouse so infrequently it’s not really an issue.

This is one reason why the shift from a trackpoint mouse to a touchpad wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be, even though I used to be as die-hard about it as other Thinkpad users. I just don't use the mouse that much in either case.

I imagine folks that do everything from a web browser won't understand, but I can't stress how important keyboard-friendly UI is for speed. It's even more important with typing-heavy apps like chat. Every time my hand moves to a mouse it slows everything way down.
