My problem is I thoroughly learned HTML and CSS twenty years ago and am only incidentally aware of how they have changed and improved since. (I'm mostly a backend programmer with s…

I must admit that I paused before hitting enter on that command and thought to myself, "Maybe I should download Ghostty and open it with that as a virtue signal." :-)

Watching my mum's descent into dementia, if (when?) I ever go down the same route, I plan to have, "You have dementia, be calm," tattooed on one arm, and pictures of my loved ones …

Yeah, I'll add the abbreviated day ("Thu 3 Jul 2026") where it makes sense to.

Although my (AU) locale is dd-mm-yyyy, I'll use yyyy-mm-dd anywhere I have to write a date in all numbers to avoid any ambiguity. It also has the advantage of sorting correctly in …

Australian's use mostly the same, except for the time format where AM/PM is still predominant. Also Celsius for temperature and 1,000.0 for number formatting.

Only reacting to the title and/or the first couple of paragraphs instead of reading the whole thing?

The ctrl-tab tab switching behaviour being round-robin instead of stack[1] is what is keeping me on Konsole. None of the newer consoles (for Linux) seem to have this. [1] https://g…

I still clearly remember in my early twenties being stunned to discover that the Astérix comics are originally written in French and then translated. Coming up with names like Geta…

You'd be full of shit. Oh, sorry, I thought you said colon…

First personal little thing was a little mobile friendly website for taking coffee and tea orders. Two pages, one for someone to enter orders, second for listing orders and marking…

I've been saying this about Amazon with ebooks, and DRM'd goods in general for years.

I think comparing American AI to OnlyFans is in extremely poor taste. If I were OnlyFans I would sue. /s

Bear in mind that beacon is something of a hail Mary, though. No way to tell if it was successful or not or react if it wasn't.

I'm not blaming it on misogyny. I thought I was very clear that "medical misogyny" is a commonly used term, and was very specific on the definition. Also, in this sibling comment t…

Agreed. Disability, physical as well as intellectual. Age. Neuroatypicallity. The list goes on. Honestly, I think when you're facing any sort of potentially serious health issue yo…

Yep. Humans are gonna do human things anywhere you find them. > FYI I’m not American. Whoops. Guess that was an assumption on my part. Here I am, doing human things…
