if there’s not enough room for it in my dishwasher, there’s not enough room for it in my life
ME: I’m the only person on this website—
PARTNER (not letting me finish): Wow!
remember how dope StreetPass was back in the Nintendo 3DS era? i still wish they’d brought it back for the Switch, but @tvler took that idea and built a StreetPass browser extension for Mastodon! as you browse around, pages with a rel="me" link to someone’s Mastodon profile will accumulate in the extension just like walking by someone else with a 3DS 😂 https://streetpass.social
i created my Threads profile mostly just to take a look, and the app was instantly annoying. algorithmic feed, no way to turn off replies in the feed… it’s just thoughtless and unexciting engagement bait from blue checks and people i don’t know. pass.
.net??? absolute amateur shit https://9to5google.com/2023/07/03/threads-instagram-app-countdown-plus-details/
pizza night with the bros!
- garlic scape pesto, mozz, sliced scapes.
- red sauce, local arugula.
- twona (tuna two ways. spring onion, buffalo mozz, half olive oil, half red sauce with capers)
- local mushroom medley, mozz, ricotta, chives.
this is why i wish bluesky wasn’t capturing the attention it has been. this is what they’re trying to pass off as moderation: the option to hide impersonators, hate speech and nazi posts as opposed to banning them outright. this should be completely unacceptable.
lmao this is the most incredible self-own https://waxy.org/2023/07/twitter-bug-causes-self-ddos-possibly-causing-elon-musks-emergency-blocks-and-rate-limits-its-amateur-hour/
back when i exported all my tweets and put them on my own site, i stored syndication links back to the original tweets and always meant to show links to them in their footers. i guess i’m glad i didn’t waste the thirty minutes now that they’re all login walled
one of my favorite things about Tears of the Kingdom is that i can’t type “totk” on my phone without it aggressively autocorrecting to things like “york” or “total”.
but apparently nobody else can either, because every time i try to google things about totk, even the search suggestions are autocorrected 😭
emerging from my social media hole to say that i am feeling extremely distressed with the month of June. it is inhuman to have released Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo IV, and Final Fantasy XVI all in the same month. who would do this to me and what did i do to deserve it
wrote my first post for a company blog in… actual years? 😳 check it out! https://firehydrant.com/blog/using-advisory-locks-to-avoid-race-conditions-in-rails/
the last time i worked in an office was ten years ago, in the infancy of my career, at New Relic. all of engineering was maybe 40 people, but 2.5 years later when i left, there were a few hundred of us. we worked together, ate lunch together, went on coffee walks together… there wasn’t any of that “we’re a family” bullshit, but we were all friends. i don’t think i’d ever want to give up the option of remote work, but my sense of community has only dwindled since then. i really, really miss it.
picked up a bottle of cherry blossom liqueur from a local distillery and made the gimlet they recommended 🌸🥰🌸
love to live in a society where a company’s stock jumps nearly 30% after laying off 20% of their workforce
