I'm a crusty old nerd who chases bright shiny things and loves playing with old computers :) Especially my Atari 800XL and Amiga.

Last Notes npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1gph…c887 is having a bad day y'all. Specificially Pages ATM. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1f6a…pnql The math one is particularly interesting to me given LLMs track record even trying to do basic math :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm If you'll permit me to say so, pinning your happiness on a need for humanity to change its inherent awfulness feels like perhaps not the wisest life strategy :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1rsl…lqqt Your question is rhetorical so I'm not answer it, but I DO wonder: Does the UK NOT have that same malignant strain of entrepreneur culture that has infected American tech for the last 20 years? npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh My wife is on the board of directors of a truly amazing #charity called On the Rise. They specialize in helping #homeless or formerly homeless #women / #trans / #enby folks get the services they need to be safe and determine their own future. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm it would be interesting to learn whether or not it came before lisp, as I know that language has had a REPL since the dawn of time :-) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm The sad truth? I do most of my Python video viewing from my couch over my AppleTV, so sites like pyvideo aren't very doable on that score. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh Man, I know it's all snarled up in tax law and yada yada, but with the BBC apparently fighting for funding, does it really take a genius to think "Oh, hey, there are Anglophiles ALL OVER THE WORLD just DYING for this content? Why not sell it to them?". npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub198t…hasj I am generally not a fan of running apps in browser tabs, mostly because I have the obnoxious but very real problem of closing them accidentally all the time :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm Looks like a great tool! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm Either way I salute your intestinal fotitude sir! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1h56…ch5t Absolutely! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh Installing a Flatpak in #ubuntu was pretty straight forward. I don't love AppImage, so Flatpak will do nicely :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm Don't beat yourself up. This is tricky stuff. I used to use VLANs and ultimately abandoned them for simplicity sake. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm Runs perfectly on steamdeck! Sold :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh Also? There was SUCH a tremendous focus at #pyconus2024 on community and using the software we build to make the wider world a better place. Super inspiring! Look for pointers to some of the best keynotes and talks from my perspective as they're published on Youtube later. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh OK, so, here's hoping that I never need to go to work for Dell. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh Everybody loves to dunk on #json but I literally cannot imagine doing my job without it :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1ecx…yjcq Really enjoying this show so far! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub14cw…hfwc Hey, if you love taking a walk on the wild side in dark markets, you do you. Far be it from me to tell you what or where to buy :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm Aww, I LOVED the CueCat! :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh I know it's neither rational nor open minded, but if I'm viewing your profile and I see any of: Nostr, Ethereum, Bitcoion, Blockchain. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1kr2…3ggc I know it's unlikely folks will be interested because most people want to sh'mup 'til they drop, but I think Fantavision 202X is a phenomenal game and the experience on the Steamdeck is chefs kiss perfect. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh I am loving everything about #rustlings as a learning experience. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1cus…6789 You're coming through 5 by 5 :) HI! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub129g…4kwg I really love #rustlings pedagogic technique! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1h56…ch5t @npub1tws…sn6j Yeah Teej is a funny guy. Funny and crazy bright are my kind of people :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh I will never understand people who will type pages and pages of suggested changes into a Github issue, but then go radio silent when you ask them to generate a pull request. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1rsl…lqqt What podcasting mic would you recommend? Thinking of applying for your cloud podcast co-host slot but all I have now is a USB Blue Yeti Snowball which I'm pretty sure is 💩 :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm @npub1txc…ajj9 Thanks for the prompt. I just watched the video and it’s absolutely delightful! Hynek’s sense of humor makes it a pleasure to watch and keep things moving. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1txc…ajj9 @npub1pfe…e2dm Svcs looks pretty great. I got burned so badly by IoC / "dependency injection" frameworks in JavaSpace it's hard to wash the acrid taste of past pain out of my brain :) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh So TiL that @npub1sny…ax7g actually hosts a public access TWENEX system!!! npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh #gamedev question - How come video games seem to favor sad emotional endings? npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1ysu…2jyl This has become security theater at this point. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub1pfe…e2dm And doing so while keeping your error rate low. npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh @npub172v…689n it’s funny how we make assumptions about people that are totally groundless and think nothing of it. In that vein I had just assumed that there would be no way you would ever end up running ChromeOS :-) npub13jfm9te8qxc48pwrt98ptmhff5syjejhvy6pfeewuf2kee6cw66szfmjy9 Feoh Listening to the city of #orlando FL advertise about what an #LGBTQ friendly place it is and how folks should DEFINITELY keep vacationing there!
