Took a "content ideation" survey for an event that I'm unlikely to attend (unless they wanted to fly me out to Zurich to lecture at it, but that seems unlikely). The take away from my answers is that beating the dead horse of wine/coffee parallels has been played out for decades. Coffee is a far more complex beverage that should be encouraged to be its own thing. (wine comparisons are a lazy crutch that the coffee industry should be sick of in the year 2020)
@shahaan@mastodon.social Sure, if it's free (though I think most children should be pseudonymous online: the compartmentalization makes them harder to target for cyber-bullying and it's easier to throw away a pseudonym when you decide that's no longer who you want to be), but squatting a vanity domain for years seems like a waste of money.
A recent ad that hit the shop's inbox suggested that I buy an internet domain name for my baby.
1. To the best of my knowledge I don't have a baby
2. Is that really a thing? Like, shouldn't a child be old enough to have The Internet Safety Talk before they get their own domain?
3. They should pick their domain instead of being stuck with their lame dad's choice.
Have the external optical drive plugged in to rip some fresh driving music. I still think it's neat that I can just use the file manager to drag and drop virtual MP3s from CD and the ripping and transcoding just happens in the background as part of the file copy operation. #kde

Trying the gift beer and yeah, it's quite tasty. I can taste the coffee and overall it's very smooth and easy to drink. Pairs well with cheesecake.
Hacking, like power, is never given. It is only taken.
Seize your sharp implements and start hacking!
@lilithsaintcrow It's very nice. There's seems to be less rage overall, the worst of the broader fediverse doesn't bother with my tiny server, no sponsored stuff getting inserted in my feeds, and when the occasional trash shows up I have adequate tools to stomp that out.
@lilithsaintcrow Same.
@apLundell It's not the thermal paper industry. It's the advertisement industry. The longer you make the receipts, the more ad space you can sell on them.
i mean honestly you may think I‘m joking with I Probably Could Do A Better Job Than Whoever Ran Tumblr or that clearly this is hubris but consider this:
Yahoo bought tumblr for 1.1 billion USD
Verozon just sold tumblr for, reportedly, 3 million USD, maybe less
I‘m honest to god confident that most people that have actually ever used a website could have managed to run it in a way that doesn’t make it lose 99.3% of it’s valuation in under 10 years
