College degrees just ensure we're specialized.

Or becoming better just ensures you get more work done, and thus more work shoved onto your plate.

I know a guy who was smart enough to go to University, but went to a basic college instead (or rather, a Dutch equivalent). "I don't want to do all that" is his defence in not going to Uni.

Facebook is just white-hair containment.

extreme views on women

So he has a hot take that men and women might be biologically different, or what?

Initially there were no subs, then the main page got hidden behind /r/all and people were allowed to create their own subs, and the frontpage got replaced with whatever you subbed to.

Those were the good times, when the site was small enough that people helped a kid out to do his homework.

Ableism is when the government won't build a ramp for a people with a wheelchair, so they can access the town hall.

Or when they do build a ramp, but it's too steep to get up to (pardon the reddit - I couldn't find an alternative)

Calling people who act retarded, retarded, isn't ableism.

Tumblr and Vine need to come back, so all the imbeciles can fuck back off to the containment sites.

I use mermaid or PlantUML, so I can write it out in text and get a visual render inside vscode (just get yourself a mermaid or PlantUML extension)

Note that the .svg (or .png, for that matter) contains the metadata for draw.io itself, so you can basically have a regular .png that you can also open in draw.io.

Just don't optimize the .png for filesize - the metadata will be removed, and you won't be able to edit the file anymore.

Same for the .svg with https://svgomg.net/

And I convinced myself that using non-free software is haram and I shouldn’t do it... In Muslim communities anywhere, no fatwas about it.

WTF I love Islam now?

I use a Justfile, so I can make a file containing local shortcuts via the just binary.

I have created this so I can run just switch [wodan] ([] implies optionality):

default_host := "wodan"

set shell := ["bash", "-euo", "pipefail", "-c"]

# Apply a host configuration immediately and persist across reboots.
switch host:
  sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#"{{host}}"

By doing this, I could prepend git add . or jj status, while sticking to just switch for myself and not having to think about any pre-steps.

I just think it's neat.

I think that's just a "happy little accident".

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he's pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

I for one am happy we're getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we're stuck with.
