Oh hey, looks like I'm going to be in Dublin the week after next. Any particular thing a tired introverted hermit should make all effort to see or do?

I was lucky to have had a trip to Berlin in 2020 just before all the pandemic shutdowns and my absolute favorite thing was to just walk around the city listening to goth music until my legs nearly fell off

Okay time to flee my hot office before i get sebacean heat delirium

@the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org i too have been bitten by wabbits, but i mostly deserved it

@itgrrl Oh, that's just tamagotchi, every day is a year

@zwol fwiw, we have a full induction cooktop in our kitchen and a thing that seemed to address the whine was getting these silicone pads for between the glass and the metal pots.

We’d gotten them to help protect the glass, but turns out the whine (for us at least) was physical vibration that the pads dampen

pinboard; transphobia

Another transphobic tweet from at-pinboard on X makes me glad I finally started tinkering with my own bookmark sharing app again. Who knows if it'll turn into anything useful beyond a learning project for myself, but I can probably at least get my own stuff imported

@Tijn @mjdxp This sort of thing was weirdly why I bought my first white iBook, because I wanted a unix that had a working video card and sound card at the same time

Moev - "Head Down"

One of my absolute favorite bands from the 80s & 90s, but I've rarely met another fan.

Woke up from a dream where we had flexible, rollable, foldable iPads. They were all crinkly and wrinkly, like if you swaddled a slab of cardboard in clear packing tape.

You could just kind of bend and crumple the things any which way and they'd keep working fine, but they were constantly creased up and grungy. Somehow, you could slap them onto walls. All of this excited everyone but I thought they were gross.

Was just puttering on some webdev project for work. Kept making changes and was like "hey why aren't I seeing my changes"?

Turns out the project I worked on last week had hot reloading whereas this week's project required a browser page refresh.

derp 🤦‍♂️

transphobia; 90s techno; psykosonik

Psykosonik's "Shock on the Wire" just came up on one of my old playlists.

Pleased to find that someone else noted the irony of the lyric "Leave the world of boolean gender" from a band where, a few years later, one of the former members rebranded himself as "Vox Day" and went off the deep end of Christian nationalism
