The current breakaway leader in the Tour de Nap 🚴

IDK who is responsible for this but whyyyyyyyyyy

If anyone happens to know, or be, the CFO of CityFibre, could you tell them that when potential customers see errors like this, IT IS BAD.

The solution is to put your hand in your pocket and SPEND MORE MONEY ON BACKEND CAPACITY so that people wanting to maybe sign up for your service can do so and give you money. That way, you keep getting paid.

They need to be taken over by somebody competent — who understands that the first rule of business is making it easy for people to give you money.

There is an objectively correct video game to play during a heat wave in places that use Farhenheit as their primary temperature system.

TIL https://terminaltrove.com/ a curated list of CLI/TUI utils. Sadly no Ruby CLIs/TUIs listed. We should change that! I still believe Ruby can be used to build powerful CLI/TUI utils; if Python or Node.js can produce popular CLIs/TUIs, no reason why Ruby cannot.

Wacom drawing tablets track the name of every application that you open

However, the title “Wacom drawing tablets used to track the name of every application that you open but now seem to have stopped for some reason” didn’t feel very snappy. I decided to do some more investigating.

This write-up of Wacom's information syphoning scheme is really good, but for me, the best part starts with the snippet I've included from near the end.

This is it. In all my photos of cat yawns, I will never be able to top this one. It cannot be topped. I have reached the apex of yawny kitties. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar #caturday
