My daughter is trying to convince me that the phrase "social butterfly" implies the existence of a "social caterpiller", which justifies her wrapping herself in a quilt, her "social cocoon", and refusing to get up today.
I have to admit it's a pretty good argument. Solid wordplay, reasonable-sounding if ridiculous conclusions, ticks all the boxes. Kinda dad-proud right now, gotta say.
Today's new bit of Firefox UI clutter https://superuser.com/questions/1750467/how-can-i-remove-firefoxs-list-all-tabs-button
(I'm sure it's useful to some but I have few enough tabs I can see them all just fine.)
@hollie Looked up my apartment building here and it seems to be around 910 feet. https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/
@hollie My off the cuff guess is that it'd be easiest to look up a topographic map that includes the house.

Highly recommended. It's a grid puzzle sort of game where you pick up spells that you can then activate by moving in a specific pattern. I don't want to spoil it, but it's much longer and deeper than it first appears.
PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:
go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

@Kroppeb Except I just inherited this code. I have to continue working with it.
@b0rk Dunno because that sounds like exactly the sort of thing I would do and get confused about and forget.
@b0rk I do. It was kinda just the default when I started, and I never really thought about learning alternatives.
@b0rk If there are 2 filenames with a common prefix followed by a character that needs escaped, tab completion won't escape it for you.
I've also had issues with distos installing "bash-completion" by default, which tries to be smart but sometimes gets in the way and removes filenames you want from consideration.
@voltagex Thankfully CodeWeavers is supporting me in this, it wouldn't be possible otherwise.
@voltagex There's nothing for Mono specifically, but Winehq accepts donations through SFC: https://www.winehq.org/donate
It was just pointed out to me: keeping Mono maintained is important for preservation. .NET Framework images can't always be recompiled. That's most obvious with Wine, but sometimes upstream Mono is used for that too.
This has been in the works since April: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/21796
I'm not explicitly mentioned in the post, but effectively the maintainer duties for the Mono project now fall on me. It sort of worked out that Wine Mono (which I maintain) became the primary user of Mono that hadn't moved to modern .NET, with the other common use case being winforms on Linux. I might be the only person left who cares enough and has the generalist knowledge to muddle through.
Thinking how cool it'd be to like, shed a bunch of possessions and have a seasonal living arrangement: winters here, summers visiting people throughout the country and working remote (ideally sharing with someone so housing isn't wasted). Probably never going to happen, but it'd be cool.
(I'm about to go visit someone and it's so much easier in summer.)
