I've settled on making a static website generator. Debugging the single file workflow was many times quicker than debugging the design, which I think is a good sign. With the design, I aimed to make it look just right in modern browsers, look acceptable in old browsers, & be fully conformant with HTML 5, CSS 3, & WCAG 2. That was work, but I didn't get hacky or make compromises.

@lynnesbian This is somehow still more appropriate a use for it than most Windows installers for GPL programs. IDK if I should be impressed, terrified, or in a swimsuit.

I am very positively impressed with how gracefully the HTML 5 pages with semantic tags I'm making degrade in ancient Web browsers. Both content and structure look more usable than the tag soup in layout tables I was using 15 years ago.

Retro computing 

@k0bold @Saxxon Copied. Dell's space bar is shaped for the bulge, & Dell's arrow pad doesn't bulge out.

I'll be honest; I had no idea Logitech made that kind of keyboard.

vegetarian freezer food, but not vegetarianism 

MorningStar Farms, the company that makes frozen vegetarian meat-substitute foods? They make microwaveable meat-candy substitutes, too (Veggie Bacon Strips), & I'm hooked. The only problems are the window between underdone & burned is consistent but tiny, & if they're not transferred from one plate to another within 15 seconds of the microwave beeping done, they stick & won't come off except in tiny flakes.

PROMPT_COMMAND='[ $? -eq 0 ] || printf "(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻\n"' # You can set this in your bash shell config to flip a table whenever a command fails with a non-zero exit status.

the real reason HAL didn't open the pod bay doors was that left-pod had gotten removed from npm

The Internet is held together by duct tape, bailing wire, & unicorn farts. 

@JulieSqveakaroo I just noticed. It looks like they pulled the story.

Windows: This program is not responding.
Me: Okay, end it.
Windows: The crash recovery tool is not responding.
Me: Okay, end that.
Windows: Nah, you're gonna have to reboot.
Me: But everything else is working just fine.
Windows: No email until you reboot.
Me: Fine, reboot.
Windows: Please wait while I install updates.

Okay, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is surprisingly good on twitter

Yes, this is an actual tweet they sent twitter.com/USCPSC/status/1046

It's time for another "Good Idea, Bad Idea"

Good idea:
Being excited at 9pm because you won a ticket for a good & delicious free coffee.

Bad idea:
Being excited at 3am because you cashed it in right away & drank the free coffee.

@natalie@masto.ninja Is the serial terminal a DEC, Wang, or other glass teletype? If no, it still counts. If yes, it's cyberpunk af.
