Possum is the regular noun and opossum is for when you want to show your respect for possums

ok so mozart may have been an extremely talented composer, but did he have a low-end 1992 roland rompler connected to a pc running open-source midi sequencer software? didn't think so.

when i rule the world, the tyranny of 🔁/🔂/❌ in music players will be abolished. “repeat” and “once” will be independent options, so you can listen to a single song in a list without it auto-playing the next one

GitHub's own tutorial for how you use OAuth with their API and get basic user info is out of date, but you know what's not out of date? that's right, my code to do that: https://github.com/hikari-no-yume/app-compatibility-db/commit/7d56a1d485739e87897c5a5cfececaddf42e5736

Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves

I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

The owners of Neopets were trying to indoctrinate us in Scientology and NFTs but it backfired and instead what it taught us was "everyone is entitled to one free omelette per day" and that's why now all millennials are socialists

An excellent quote from a source I've long forgotten that I somehow just dug out of my archives:

Good yuri turns girls into lesbians. Great yuri turns boys into lesbians. 

in one of my circles of friends they do a thing where they add more than one member to pluralkit for people in their system and just make all but one of them private

and each one has a different expression in the profile picture

so while they talk they proxy their messages slightly differently as their tone changes, like an rpg talksprite. it owns

Just for giggles, I made my own live shader editor using #godotengine. It works great, however, I have no idea how to access the errors the shader compiler generates. So if something fails, I just show a horse. LOL. If anyone knows if accessing that info is possible, please let me kno. #shaders #screenshotsaturday

- If you care about the facts of the case, let's consider that **the robot was not actually stolen** and yet they were seemingly charged with "grand larceny," a felony. The robot drove away, of its own volition

Now that we've seen seen the legal mechanism used by police to compel a food delivery robot company to give them footage, we can now have a conversation about whether we as a society want ubiquitous, subpoenable cameras on wheels driving around our sidewalks at all times.

oh my god. SQLite remembers the comment lines of your schema and stores them in the database…

well boys*, it looks like tail calls are back on the menu https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/3e4e0fef13e01bf3376f61590d5d5744d4b0b22f/modules/libpref/init/StaticPrefList.yaml#l7583

Of mild interest, see my comments about the "death timer" that I made on Twitter back in March 2022 when Epic bought Bandcamp to begin with. Post #5 was dead on I guess 🤷‍♀️
