I was today years old when I realized Deee-Lite’s “Groove is in the heart” comes from a Herbie Hancock tune https://open.spotify.com/track/3i0meyRRCpIzyMmLdYssGw?si=lavk2rhmQW6pxlmIdfoIaA

@ktoso for sure. Thanks :)

@ktoso also if you (or anyone) is in the market for a place with no shared walls ;) https://inakalife.co.jp/property/【中古戸建】大泉町西井出で叶える、子育てに最/

@ktoso that looks fun. What is it?

@fasterthanlime omg I’ve wanted this for my blog for ages. Great work.

@kmartino this is especially fun given it intersects my own career trajectory with svn and git. When did propagate.rb finally die over there? 😆

An interesting read! Scott Chacon, one of GitHub's cofounders, looks back on what led Git to win over its competition:

Where’s the iOS app that reduces brightness when I show my phone to my wife. I need that.

@lloydmeta inside every old man is a young man wondering: wtf happened!?

I'm a few thousand dollars away from being able to pay my bills this month, but the most important thing I need to pay for is my health insurance: I've got meds I can't afford without it and an upcoming CT scan.
If you can donate a few dollars or more, that'd really help! Thanks!

I think my parenting life could have been orders of magnitude less stressful if I found this stuff sooner.

Oh and cars.

You know how with RAID0 your likelihood of trouble increases with each disk? Turns out that goes for children as well. 😆

Unforeseen remote/timeshifted work complication: software updates have no idea when it’s safe to “install tonight” so I just have to do it manually.

It’s that “right before tax payment” season in Japan. Where I feel rich and poor at the same time. So much cash on hand, but so little idea how much of it I’ll get to keep.

https://help.twilio.com/articles/22771146070299-End-user-guide-End-of-Life-EOL-for-Twilio-Authy-Desktop-app - that’s a bummer. Was just thinking yesterday how nice it was to have a phone & laptop synced totp generator

Related to https://neurodifferent.me/@neuralex/111823042997929644 by @neuralex, I think a big part of the appeal of retrocomputing and fantasy consoles is getting to play with computers that still are predictable, consistent, comprehensible, and designed for the people who use them.

PICO-8 doesn't have microtransactions. DOS doesn't have ads. You can look up whether a CHIP-8 records the result of the math operation or its carry flag first (it's math first, flag second). When you use these, you're not being used or abused.

We remember playing free mobile games. And we remember quitting, uninstalling all of them, because navigating an environment that wants to exploit us is draining and distressing and we're not about that any more. Being in a space that's not like that is better.

@lloydmeta and the minifigs know to hide under the table.
