I absolutely love listening to people speaking other languages. It's like people watching for the ears.

I appreciate the live strings and drum pad combo going on here https://youtu.be/M9Wrhsua4rc

@jezza I like this. And end of season discounts are the best!

@jezza I was home schooled for the first 7 years, so I went into public education fully aware it would be wasting my time haha

An actual subtitle from something I watched!

One day, the costs associated with media which really are costs of the physical delivery, and not the media itself, will be remembered as a minute blip in the history of mankind.

What's something you wish you had been taught before you became an adult?

Here's your biannual reminder that "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" does not, in fact, discuss the weather, so singing the opening line because it is snowing is nonsensical.

Drove past a pair of police cars parked facing traffic and an obnoxious distance from the curb.

I get that some rules are questionable (other equal-civilised places allow parking facing traffic) and that police are, arguably, above the law and unaccountable, but you'd think they could at least park against the curb and set a good example.

Shirts don't work either

Giving the grandparents of my children connected photo frames feels very much like the scene from Babe (1995) where the adult children get older generation a fax machine

@jeremiah This is the way!

I remember first learning about the alt-text secondary punchline in XKCD not all that long after learning what the alt tag in HTML was and thinking it was a brilliant use

@jezza Because I've recently heard at least 4 different songs that mention political views that somewhat align with my own opinions

If it weren’t for paper napkins we wouldn’t have so many dumb ideas going around

Been doing these link-emails for 200 links! https://buttondown.com/levisan/archive/196-200/

Should do a playlist of my political opinions in song one day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Cmw1NHUig

When adding alt text, do you try to convey the point of the image or describe what the image is showing?

I might become an unironic RFC 1855 stan https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1855

Primary computer displays should be widescreen. That is certain. But so many things are designed to stack vertically instead of horizontally and I can't figure out why.

The eternal dilemma between trying to not let people put words in your mouth and hating to stick your neck out
