  RE: https://wandering.shop/@Violinknitter/117488221846428160 Gospel truth. My wife, a librarian of 20+ years, firmly believes (and has demonstrated time and again that she is correct) that she can find the right book to get any child to love reading. She loves what she does, and she is extremely good at it.

  ‼️DOCUMENTATION IS NOT COSMETIC‼️ It no longer surprises me—but it never fails to infuriate me—how bad/nonexistent the documentation is for so much software. I am not going to call out the project, but I am trying to get a new utility set up, and I looked in the Github Issues to see if anyone else had commented on the abysmal documentation. There is an open issue from December of 2019 with comments as recent as June 2025. The documentation does not appear to have meaningfully improved in the int...

  RE: https://tech.lgbt/@TheADHDM/117525739553822766 Wake up, new bootstrap paradox just dropped: “Don’t know how to use the software because there’s no documentation for you to learn from? No problem! Just write the documentation yourself and then you can read that to learn how it works!” #OSS #OpenSource #Documentation

  I’m assuming that next week’s @biff is going to be preempted by The Warp Core. Without Dan there, it was bound to happen eventually anyway. I know that I would love to spend 60–90 minutes talking to my friends about how great Patrick Stewart and Walter Koenig were, and I suspect I’m not the only one.

  My 12 y/o and I are watching through #TNG together. Their first time, my many-eth. Our next episodes are Chain of Command I & II. I’ve really been looking forward to getting to this story, but I think watching it tonight might destroy me.

  I really hate “Game Mode” on iOS. The only concrete effect I have ever observed is that it blocks the function of the camera control button, a button the entire point of which is that it makes the camera always one button press away. And even when I turn it off, it still pops up a stupid banner (that, unlike regular notifications, can’t be swiped away early) that often blocks interface elements in the game I am trying to play. #Apple #iOS #UI

  @biff As the crowd gathered outside city hall in episode 6, I said out loud, “they’re going to Andor this, aren’t they?” And then they did, except in a way that didn’t really make any sense. And speaking of set-ups that don’t really make any sense, why was the task force sniper dressed as Bullseye? No one could see him; that’s kind of the whole point of a sniper. Who was the mask supposed to fool? If a sniper shot someone outside the library, couldn’t they just say “It’s Bullseye!”? Sorry, out...

  I enjoy hand writing SVGs, and at this point I’ve created a lot. Some of them involve animation and embedded audio. But I don’t think I’ve ever created one before that made the fan on my M2 MacBook Pro come on. #SVG #SVGFilter

  Speaking of SVGs, I have an ever growing collection of hand crafted SVGs that I have made just for the fun of it (or because I couldn't find just the right image for something I needed, so I made it myself). The latest one I put up is warpdrive. It's an animated FTL starfield. It's entirely handwritten (with a little assist from a python script I wrote to generate the many individual stars) and entirely XML/SVG. https://github.com/TRezendes/SVGarden (The version attached to this t...

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@cxiao/116372431433787566 This is a very good take, and probably the angle I will focus on from now on when teying to explain the harms and lies of “AI” to people.

  The whole Artemis II mission gave me, as they dubbed it, #MoonJoy, but this moment after they splashed down and were still inside the capsule gave me IT Manager Joy: "The phone doesn't work. We can hear them, but they can't hear us." "OK. Are you pushing the talk button when you talk?" "Yes. We are pushing the talk button when we talk. I'm going to restart and see if that fixes it." #ArtemisII #ITManager
