OH my God y'all my wife (she is a self-taught coder who now teaches biology students to code) only just found out about rubber ducking this morning and she's so excited about it 🥹 she's buying 100 little rubber ducks to give to her students 🥹 she's like "Knowing that this is what REAL DEVELOPERS do will be so good for them" 🥹

i love that on fedi DMs are just regular posts with limited visibility. like i can turn a thread into a DM at any point. we can change the visibility of a thread as its topic/details become more private. i don't need to like "let's move this to DMs" or "let's move this to a different channel". or to ping them from a different channel. i can just. Make The Post Private. and it doesn't interrupt the flow of the conversation in the slightest.

Reminder - cancer charity - yes, a cancer charity...

Someone posted a quote from Samuel L. Jackson and I made a throw-away response.
He turned it into a meme.

Good morning! You are nice!

Stop normalizing github for everything.

There is no such thing as a peaceful far right protest.

you ever think about how video game cartridges aren't strictly ROMs any more. flash is cheaper than mask ROMs and has been for a long time. those carts are gonna die someday

@hikari
Data loss in flash based game "ROMs" is an actual problem that's being addressed by weird community hacks... https://gbatemp.net/threads/corrupted-cartridge-fixer-release.628539/
