@prettygood To be honest, I thought that was a well known fact.

Dear all,
I'm delighted to announce I've been nominated for the Celcast Fantasy Awards, in the "best music" and "best music video" categories, both for Above the Lake and L'Ankou!

I would mean a world to me if you could vote for me, p.9 and p.11

As you may know, I'm especially proud of Above the Lake, which needed three days of shooting, SFX and guest violinist.

Wouldn't that be awesome to have a devilish violinist and an occult hurdy-gurdy player in the shortlist?

To all the women who keep asking: “Why can't men be better?” This is why:

One of my favorite quotes ever, from why the lucky stiff:

"when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create."

@jloc0 What is it now? ZL saying that we're doomed for not appreciating LC's work or what?

@lamarea Recordadles que una cosa es predicar y otra dar trigo, y que su trabajo debería ser lo segundo, no lo primero.

¿Habéis hablado con otros sindicatos, como la CNT? Tengo curiosidad por saber si su reacción será un poco menos teórica y más práctica.

Lo que se ha destapado hoy en el hospital de Torrejón con lo del Grupo Ribera Salud no es sólo culpa del PP.

@aldi80s Write to them and let them know of your displeasure. They are a small company, so they probably tried to save money by not hiring a corrector. Many small publishers in Spain do that. I learned that the hard way myself.

Also, if you tell them about the typos, they may send you the next (hopefully improved) edition for free. At least I would do that if I were in the same situation.

@prettygood I tried Pleroma in 2018 or so, and I wasn't impressed by it either. It lacked many features that I considered fundamental, like muting. Also, the developers were some of the most toxic people I have found here.

New versions of Mastodon are fucking unusable. I was replying to someone from my alt and it made me literally angry. What a piece of shit software.

@prettygood I once created a GPT at work and called it Big Zipper. The avatar it made for itself was, of course, that, but for some reason it looked like a 'vagina dentata'. Maybe it's a bias in its programming. If you think about the people who write these things, it makes sense.

@atareao No lo he leído en ninguna parte, pero es lo único que tiene sentido. Cualquier persona que sepa algo de ingeniería del software sabe que rescribir de cero cualquier cosa sin una buena razón es una receta para el desastre. Si encima quieres hacerlo en otro lenguaje, debería hacer falta algo más que una buena razón. Y si se trata de un componente tan fundamental como Coreutils, pues ya ni te cuento.

La cosa es que no sé qué pretendían con un fork (si se le puede llamar así) que sólo modifica el lenguaje y la licencia. Por eso creo que la razon tiene que ver con quitarse la GPL de encima y hacer Linux más ‘apropiable’ por grandes empresas. ¿Puedo estar siendo paranoico? Es posible, pero también están metiendo Rust en el Kernel y tampoco entiendo por qué. Si ya es complicado gestionar un proyecto en un lenguaje, imagínate en dos; y más uno de esta envergadura.

Dicho todo lo anterior, supongo que la justificación de los desarrolladores será que la gestión de memoria en C es muy complicada y propensa a potenciales fallos de seguridad, o que mucha más gente conoce Rust que C, pero eso tampoco me convence, porque, que yo sepa, GNU Coreutils sigue mantenido y los desarrolladores no son los mismos.

@atareao ¿Quién habría pensado que reinventar una rueda (cuyo funcionamiento se ha probado y pulido durante décadas y de la cual dependen sistemas enteros) sólo porque no te gusta su licencia podría salir mal?

@prettygood Maybe you're right. I have a coworker who has a Swiss Army knife and he's always offering it to everyone at the slightest opportunity.

@camelliakyoto I have never been a fan of Michinaga. I blame him for the death of Empress Teishi and the fall from grace of Sei Shonagon. Also, Murasaki Shikibu, who worked for him, badmouthed Sei in her diary. I have never read Genji Monogatari because of that.

The place is beautiful, though. Thank you for the pictures.

I am a reply guy and I approve this message.

@lydiaconwell I don't know who played bass on Helter Skelter, but I know who played drums and got blisters on his fingers. That's all I need to know, really.
