All this Dune talk all over the timeline, I finally understand that this song "Weapon of Choice" must be making a reference to it in the "walk without rhythm" part. (The line comes a few seconds after the part I link to. I just thought you'd enjoy watching Christopher Walken dance on a table.)

The best software tester I’ve ever known once said to me, “Whenever I start at a new place, I find out which teams hate each other. Where their systems interface with each other is the first place I look for bugs — because they’re not talking to each other.”
Software projects stand and fall on the relationships between the humans who create them. (A corollary to Conway’s Law.)

Anyone got ethical privacy respecting zoom/webex alternatives, outside jitsi.meet and jami?
(These have failed hard for me on #ttrpgs in the past, with 5-6 people and large differentials in the connection quality amongst the players. Not interested in trying again, ive tried in the past calendar year.)
I pay for Meet.Coop access, but it's North American data center has been down for 32 hours with no status message in it's forum. It honestly failed me pretty hard in an embarrassing way tonight.
I get regularly asked why im not using Discord by my players, and it's starting to feel like I should throw in the towel.
It is a weirdly bitter comfort, me and my sister can't webcam this week; while I spin my tires on this.
Solutions need to work in macOS linux and windows.

For several months, my tool to allow people to scrape crossword puzzles from online solvers has not worked for WSJ because the paper has enabled some anti-bot tech.
Is there a good resource for learning what the options are here? Even if it involves solving users solving captchas or whatever? As you can imagine, a lot of the online expertise around circumventing automation blocks is pretty spammy.

“My Cat is Such a Weirdo” by Tamako Tamagoyama
It’s a #Manga about #Cats. You already know if you want to read it.
Despite the title, it’s about Tamagoyama’s TWO cats, Ton-chan and Shino-san. Both are rescues; Ton-chan (full name Tongari) was adopted from a shelter and Shino-san (Shinonome) from a private cat rescue. (There are also some anecdotes about Tamagoyama’s parents’ cats.) The stories are mostly about the amusing behaviors and contrasting personalities of the duo.
This originated as a webcomic and it’s in full color. It’s mostly four panel, although it adjusts its format to fit the stories. A fun touch is that photos of the actual cats are frequently included as bonus panels, often of them doing the very thing the story is about.
Ongoing (I think) with three volumes in English (Seven Seas.)
ETA: #MangaMonday

@jacob @glyph What I have loved about this is the discovery that absolutely everyone feels this way about the networking layer right below them. The kernel networking folks are like "look, I hand it off to the NIC driver and then some magic happens, I dunno”. The NIC driver folks are all “there's just some bitbanging and then I flip an MSR and then this whole other computer in the computer does a thing". The NIC folks all go "look the IC has a data sheet, I just prod it and hope”.
