👨‍💻 Folks, I’ve updated my GitHub repository for my #Tapestry (by @Iconfactory) Connectors!

I’ve added a connector for @glass!

This connector allows you to follow specific users from the platform who have a public profile.

You can also show or hide photo descriptions if you prefer a photo-only experience.

Happy scrolling!

You just have no idea how much poop my business entails. No, more. Ok you're thinking about even more poop, good, more than that. More.

vt100 termcap unicode is a thing I know about now. Actually I knew about it before because apparently at some point I had implemented it. But now I know about it again. Like the unaired pilot of the reboot of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Sometimes there are things you forget but they keep coming back.

Some of y'all are picketing Tesla? Have fun. Not me tho.

BYD sells 10,000 cars a day. A day! Picketing Tesla is like throwing snowballs at the Titanic.🤷🏿‍♂️

And picketing can't stop what's left of the federal gov't from buying a bunch of Cybertrucks.

My protest? Not buying a Tesla in the 1st place.

I'm not saying don't protest. I'm not in the habit of telling people how they should and should not protest.

I'm just saying that some of the people that will be protesting, will drive up to that protest in a $100,000 Tesla, and I don't get that.
🙂🙃

You can't fight your own wallet.

Dear Lazyweb, I have a system .service and .socket pair, and my script is being launched when I telnet to its port, but stdin seems to be a pipe instead of a pty -- ncurses / ioctl TIOCGWINSZ doesn't work on it. How do I make it go?

You should ask yourself this question:

If the Trump regime was intent on destroying the United States, what would it do differently than things like wrecking public health and scientific research -- and essentially everything else it's doing?

Here's a special song for your special someone:

#valentines #romance #thisguyissingle #canyoubelieveit

• video: A short rock ballad, badly oversung. The lyrics are: When the sun shines in your eyes, It's just like an enormous, distant ball of fusing hydorgen emitted photons that streaked across space To your face Where they refracted through the lens And reflected off the iris And disappeared into the pupils of them... The song is followed by laughing children and an ad-lib from the singer, saying "Your eyes, I mean. It's a song about the eyes, but it's a long run-on sentence." The singer's son chimes-in at the very end with "wow, that was terrible. Are you sure you love her?"

👨‍💻 Folks, I’ve created a GitHub repository for my #Tapestry (by @Iconfactory) Connectors.

I have two connectors there for now, one for https://social.lol and another for https://some.pics.

Let’s call them “beta” versions as they might not be perfect. If you find anything, please let me know or create an issue on GitHub.

Ah, and send a pull request if you have code improvements.

Happy scrolling! :prami:

If anyone out there is working for the federal government and is managing systems in the crosshairs of the ongoing coup attempt, I am begging — begging — you:

Let them fail.

Don’t stop them from breaking it when they do something stupid.

Don’t help them learn the system when they shouldn’t even have access to the system..

Don’t set up self-healing guardrails for systems left unattended after you’re locked out or fired.

Don’t save them from themselves.

LET THEM FAIL.

An ancient temple of slime-covered stone rested in the ocean depths, a many-tentacled creature carved above the inky entrance. An amorphous blob appeared. "Hello! Superior Being Pizza! I have an order for a Mr. Kat Thulu?"

A tentacled creature shuffled forth. "Goodness, you really can deliver here? Humans fear this place...."

'Well, I AM made of energy," the delivery being replied. " We deliver anywhere! Even an eldritch god craves a meat lover's pizza once in a while, amIright?"

By initiating a high-speed chase over a burglary in Stonestown, cops ended up sending six people to the hospital and destroying a parklet, all the way over in the Mission. Exactly what we predicted March 2024's Prop E would do
