@amszmidt why?

@Vagrarian It's much worse if you can see the stupid look on his face when he's "listening". What the hell is that

@igb Belly laughed that one. He's such a clown.

@daj yeah I thought it might be a fediverse “feature”. Most unfortunate design that.

@daj Welp I saw this because someone I follow boosted it. Only 2 of your #fiftyin50 show up when I click on the hashtag though, so something is not working right.

I probably would not see your posts unless they had a hashtag I follow anyway (probably none of which you will use anyway), but the fact that I can see only 2 means I'm not even getting that chance.

I will note that both of those posts have been boosted. I'm not sure if that's meaningful since I can't compare to the others.

@AmenZwa I don't think there is any non-monetary reward anymore for most IT domains. For me the answer was to find a niche where most of the things you mentioned aren't a factor or less so, basically embedded work. They can creep in though.

@tristan957 I understand now. It’s a small paper cut I guess.

@jxf You need a high level of confidence to give the finger to the corporate machine.

@tristan957
Do you care about the directory structure or just where it's putting binaries? I set CARGO_HOME to ${HOME}/.local/share/cargo in my profile (which I also include from bashrc), all binaries end up in $CARGO_HOME/bin. I dunno what is setting ~/.opt, the default is $HOME/.cargo.

@freemo All the data indicates it felt 10 pounds lighter

@mppf that’s a big cat

@dpiponi deadman switch logic on the server?

Well, well, well, Who’s backing an old white guy in cognitive decline now, fuckers?

@pmaohj@emacs.ch @al3x Please tell me the other software! I consider emacs one of the few pieces of software I use that doesn't suck (as much as others do anyway, it's all relative). It took me 25 years before I realized it though. Always interested in learning about something else I may have missed.

@al3x I think most people rebind it to their favorite emacs package for navigating buffers and probably don’t care what the default is. You can fight against the defaults but it’s a losing battle. The people who do like the defaults will fight change as if you are taking away their security blanket. Easier to configure it the way you like and forget about it. My opinion of course.
