@sundogplanets snow is still better than mirrors in space! heard you on #cbc #quirks&quarks

I'm not one to repost my own content. Better catch it the first time. I hate repeating myself.
#quirks

Your quirks, your weird sense of humor, your unique way of seeing the world, you've been taught to sand those edges down to be more "professional." This is a huge mistake. In a crowded world, those quirks are your features, not your bugs.

Stop trying to fit in. Be aggressively, strategically yourself.

Quirks of Common Lisp Types

Using #GNU as Assembler (not Assembly, but the Assembler) and ld Linker to spit out a working BMP gradient image.

Yeah, you read it right. I'm not using #Assembly to produce an image. I'm, instead, using Assembler directives and macros during compile-time to generate a binary file that happens to be a valid image (BMP) file.

File: tonishing.s (GNU Assembly file)

While I'm aware of the various de-googled versions of Android, and various other Linux-based non-Android platforms, I'm afraid I can't offer any recommendations, because I have no experience with any of them - or of Android or IOS, either. I don't have a smartphone. Or a dumbphone.

The others contributing in this thread have mentioned some I wasn't familiar with. Anecdotally, running any non-mainstream phone OS means putting up with a lot of quirks, but perhaps they have had better experiences.

No matter what's going on in a video or movie - drama, comedy, suspense - if someone is wearing shoes indoors, I am instantly distracted. 😆
No outdoor shoes in the house.
I don't make a fuss, but inwardly I spend a lot of energy biting my tongue, zipping my lip.
Unless it's some kind of emergency professional situation.

Maybe I should move to Japan.

Does anyone else sometimes read odd fictional names and try reversing them to see if it's a word/ clue from the author? I cannot be the only one. Anyone?

Love #Mastodon's #quirks...

It regularly shows me posts in English, even very short ones with no non-dictionary words (jargon etc), with a "translate this" link.

But also regularly gives me posts in German and several other languages... and there's never a translation link on them.

they are not character flaws
and they make you, YOU.

Some people who are blind have been able to forego a walking cane by using echolocation instead to visually sense their world. Now in a new study, scientists discovered that sighted individuals can also gain this ability through training.
