Yeah? You think giving the oil companies an extra $0.18/gallon profit and then implementing rationing is gonna play better on main street?

A funicular, you say?

It’s just a lot all at once, and you can ship serious projects with just the other four. If you’d said you had a broader experience with more languages and frameworks, I’d be more inclined to recommend the broader program because effectively you’d have less to learn, since you already would have encountered most new paradigms and ideas in other environments. I suspect your biggest risk is getting overwhelmed and giving up, either by putting the keyboard down, or farming out your work to an llm and not learning anything, and I think it’s easier to stay engaged with a smaller curriculum.

If you wanna pirate it, fine whatever, but please still buy the game. Unknown Worlds has specific sales targets they need to hit to stick it to Krafton, so think of it as a donation to a legal fund to help protect game developers.

Ahhhhhh I am going literally insane! If there are shortages we should increase taxes to reduce consumption!

Unrelated but true

If you don’t plan to go up much, I’d put containers of wildflowers for wandering pollinators. Native plants are usually pretty hardy in the face of neglect.

What’s your baseline? Where are you starting from?

Does anyone bridge their threadiverse account to bluesky? I can’t imagine how disorienting it would be for your average Bluesky user to randomly come across a reply to a post from a piefed thread, for instance.

If you’re looking to get started, there’s a bunch of good info on fedi under #LearnLockpickingWithAlice

I like the trickle better than a huge collection, so thanks for posting

And Seattle Storm legend, obvi:

Last Wednesday, the Connecticut legislature passed a bill stating that the UConn legend will now serve as a co-state bird every March, sharing the designation with the American robin

“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.” – Mitch Hedberg

In software, it’s important to think about whether you should fail open or fail shut.

Personally, I prefer it when authors promote their own work – it’s nice to be able to ask questions about it directly.

I’m not gonna get into this one, but as a rule, if you’re on one of the default instances for a given fediverse service, such as mastodon.social, you should be using it to actively shop for a smaller instance more closely aligned with your interests.
