@PINE64@fosstodon.org If you're after trying to build a sort of psion-alike, please take the learning that Planet has already done. The world is a very different place, and what makes better sense now is... well, something like their Astro, just with Pine internals :)

Just looked at some projects on Github and saw that the site no longer advertises a standard git command to copy for repo cloning. Now they encourage the use of 'Github CLI' with the syntax of 'gh repo clone'.
No doubt it's a wrapper around git that will slowly gain features that git won't add because there is no need for them.
They are no longer a 'git hub', they are a 'repo space'.
All leading to the classic, Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

This is what I'm like everytime I get a nice comment about my book
WHICH is why you should always tell writers when you enjoyed their writing ^_^

@Motodrachen @cinnamonvector@snouts.online it's also partly because it's kind of new... the ferengi used to be all bout gold, until starfleet popped by and did the "oops we can replicate gold, sorry about your economy lol" thing, so the ferengi had to find something that couldn't be replicated... fun bit of unintended worldbuilding they had to do :D

Hey, look at this thing my friend Mint wrote on why he left.
You'll probably make fun of it like you do with the daily dot article.
But maybe you'll read it and... think? Reflect? Change?

The level of stockholm syndrome among techies is fascinating:

"Google charges a few dollars for every 1,000 times the map is accessed by users. On the afternoon of the first day after the web site went live, Wu received a bill for $2,000. The next day, the total jumped to $26,000."
Solution?
"Google also helped out by waiving Maps charges in the interest of fighting Covid-19."
If only there was some other, free, map. If only...

“So you see, there’s no way to prove that anything is real,” the android explained. “We can only know what our senses tell us, and senses are easily fooled.”
“So you're saying all of this," the programmer gestured at their surroundings, "could just be a big simulation?”
"Yes."
“In that case,” she frowned, “I’d like to file several bug reports.”

LGBT rights in Poland, police brutality
Please fucking boost this as far as possible. Please, PLEASE.
A Polish trans activist named Margot was arrested. Her "crime" is minor destruction of property (she cut up a tarp on a truck covered with vicious anti-LGBT propaganda).
Her pre-emptive arrest for two months was authorized by a court, despite the fact that such arrest, by Polish law, are meant to be used for people who are a flight risk or an immediate danger to others.
But wait, there's more.

Does it bother anyone else that the people who get to decide what's a riot and what's a protest are the same ones people are protesting against?
Gee. Sure are a lot of 'Riots' lately.
@Caudle Mine are a pair of Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro, and they're excellent and not a huge pile of money :)
Goodness me this is starting to seem like a lot of words... #amwriting
