Same for me! For niche hobbies, Reddit still has a lot of valuable older information. That might change though.

Most of her hardcore fans are remarkably dumb. Even the ones who have finally seen the light, quoted in this article.

“I don’t expect celebrities to be political or foreign policy experts, but the past few months have felt like her only concern is selling us a plethora of vinyl variants.”

The past few months?!! She’s been hawking vinyl variants for years. The album before this one dominated the charts for months because they released so many variants.

“I’m a fan ― I even flew to Scotland for the Eras Tour ― but Taylor has felt out-of-touch lately.”

Oh yeah. Just lately. Keep using that brain of yours. You’ll get there.

I agree with what NuXCOM said, but to add a little more detail in this situation…

For me, it’s a little different because of perceived influence.

DHH has always been the software equivalent of an Instagram influencer. He’s been selling himself as the mythical 10x programmer and wrote a corny business book with his co-founder.

Meanwhile, he was mainly working on Basecamp and racing million-dollar cars. A lot of his personal cars have been sold to YouTube influencers.

He has had a cult of personality built around him for years, and stupid people in some small software circles love him (clearly, by the rubygems takeover).

The Lemmy devs have no influence at all over software development. Just Lemmy.

As a former long-time Ruby developer who also used Rails (Ruby since 2006, Rails came along for me later), I’ve always known DHH was a total douchebag.

It’s nice to know he’s being super obvious about it now. He’s always been awful. He’s just been slightly quieter about it, other than buying million-dollar cars and pretending he’s still relevant.

Edit to add that here’s a presentation talking about “The DHH problem” in 2014. The updates are darkly humorous.

It’s not technically a remake/remaster, but Transport Fever is essentially a remake of Transport Tycoon (open-sourced as OpenTTD).

Transport Fever is a decent game but it peaked with Transport Tycoon. The isometric map simplifies things enough where the camera doesn’t get in your way. It’s way easier to lay railroad tracks and whatnot in Transport Tycoon as well.

This is correct, for me at least.

I don’t read the text out loud in my head. I can, but I’m able to understand and comprehend the intonation and text without “performing” it.

The photos having rust on them are because the authors are quite lazy and they need an image.

So they just look for copyright-free images of a rusty USB and they’re all set.

I always try to build things that I might want!

I am fortunate to have a lot of other hobbies, so I build little things for myself for those hobbies.

One of my first scripts I ever wrote around 2004 was a Perl script to get what song was playing and automatically update my IM “status”.

I also made databases of comics and CDs for myself too.

The easiest way to get better is by doing, and doing is way easier when it’s something I care about.

“They didn’t do their diligence on that one”

“The gig is up”

Both from a podcast I listened to. I’m still not sure if they ever learned.

I love a good crime documentary for chores!

If you’re already generating an md5 and truncating it (an md5 of what?), you might as well use pwgen.

Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to indict furries as a whole, but to point out the crossover exists because it’s interesting.

Know Your Meme has a good breakdown of the culture, starting in 2005. Wikifur also has an article about it.

And it’s not hard for all of the things he described to be furry. That’s the joke.

It’s a replacement for grep, which searches the content of text files for a regular expression.

Ripgrep is very fast. If you use grep, it’s an easy drop-in.

In a nutshell, it’s swastika tattoos.

This politician followed an account with a fetishized racial name (“obedient slur”) that that posted, among other things, shirtless men with swastika tattoos and comments about white power.

The politician re-posted a shirtless man in his underwear without any swastikas from that account.

Essentially, to me it looks like the openly gay politician was looking at fetish content and re-posting non-fetish content a long time ago and should have used a different username.

I haven’t looked, but I’m sure all the rest of what you mentioned exists, though. Plus all of them being furries.

Yep, whatever template I use looks really nice. Very professional.

It’s actually the most editable format my resume has ever been in, too! I started using LaTeX over a decade ago. I just update it when I need to and it prints out exactly the same way to PDF.

I will proselytize something like this for a resume any time. I am very curious about typst as well!

I used LaTeX! I found a resume template and edited it.

I’m surprised there isn’t a good typst template for resumes that is easy to edit!

I’m not reading all that. Sorry for your issue, or I’m happy for you. Whichever you prefer.

It has been remarkably useful! I keep trying to tell people about it but apparently I am just their main use case or something.

I would have loved it when I was using Samba to share files on my local network decades ago. It’s like a Swiss Army knife!

rsync can sometimes look similarly scary! I very clearly remember triple-checking what it’s doing.

rclone works amazingly well if you have hundreds of folders or thousands of files and you can’t be bothered to babysit a portal.
