I use #Alpine, by the way...
(I did use #Arch, but I changed. I just still wanted the "by the way" bit
I make no apologies for using H2G2 puns. We apologise for the inconvenience.
@joel@fosstodon.org @sotolf@polymaths.social gonna see if I can get half an hour in tonight... Download 64% complete
People were talking about games...
Specifically a game I recently played and absolutely loved (Outer Wilds - best game ever made. change my mind)
So, I've bought 1000xRESIST because @joel@fosstodon.org @sotolf@polymaths.social and others have recommended it.
So I'll be playing 1000xRESIST soon
And when I've done that I'll be doing Echoes of the Eye (Outer Wilds DLC - I've been letting Outer Wilds linger in my mind a bit first).
I'm on the Tech Report, talking about how "rogue AIs" are utter bollocks
@orbitalmartian@polymaths.social
Olauncher here.
Used to use KISS, but actually I've grown to like the absolute simplicity of Olauncher now

Just remember to give them a little time if they need it though 😉

You're getting there.
Have you spoken to any other travellers in the moments leading up to the supernova? Some have a good view.
The Interloper does go _very_ near the sun but it's orbit does not change as such. Maybe something else is happening.
The _universe_ is a pretty beautiful place...

To answer from the original post what I would set air con to if I had it or when I'm in a hotel room, it's about 17°C
Was going to say I'm a bit weird, but turns out other people have said 18 so perhaps I'm not as weird as I thought.
@rl_dane@polymaths.social
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... Home air conditioning in the UK? 🤣
(I'm aware some city based high-rise premium accomodation _may_ have air con, but generally it only exists in cars and offices here)
Does anybody have a void? I would like to scream into one
Feeling it today...
Them: "hello, can we make this AI slop 'app' we made and put on netlify connect to our internal systems?" (It's just HTML and JS)
Me: "lol, absolutely not"
@TheBadStuff@beige.party
You're a better person than me. I would have made something up that's mostly wrong then when they ask about it say that's what Claude said.
A colleague has asked me to look at an issue, and to ask Claude if I don't know. Motherfucker, if you want an answer from an LLM do it your fucking self.
people complain about rounded corners in modern ui design. but have you considered how much safer this is making the internet for children??
Yep, that's pretty much the mess of it.
Frankly I say give Ukraine UK and we'll use GB everywhere. Job done.
@sotolf@polymaths.social
@sotolf@polymaths.social embarassingly, I always get confused of my own country code
"is it UK, or is it GB... isn't UK Ukraine? no, that's UA, so I must be UK oh but no I'm not I'm GB, unless we're talking about keyboard layouts when it's UK, and the TLD is .uk. oh my this is such a mess" - my brain
the automatic subtitles on YouTube are not properly accessible. swear words being blanked out is not neutral accessibility for Deaf people like me. if the person in the video is swearing, we need to have that information conveyed to us, not [_____]. we are Deaf, not children. but no one wants to talk about this.

@irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de @Sobtanian@mstdn.games @joel@fosstodon.org @jp@polymaths.social @theTangentSpace@mathstodon.xyz One of the greatest moments of understanding I had in this game was just drifting in space.
It was great because I was just taking a break, waiting for the next loop and looking at the beautiful void. Then I noticed something that helped me understand.
Happy #ICANN Reveal Fresh Hell Day! A company in the Caymans would like the TLD .pdf
