Tonight is opening night of a new show at Kitten Lyric Opera (somehow we have season tickets). There's singing, purring, and biting and while I don't understand a word of it, it's performed with such emotion it's quite enjoyable regardless. Especially considering the hour. Then again, this is the early showing; normally I expect the opera to start closer to 3 or 4 am. I believe tonight's aria is titled "Brrrroot? Brrrroot? MowmmbawawoooWEEEE!"

@arclight I know that aria. We have a local guy who loves to serenade the neighbourhood with it.

@theonides I’m sure there will be plenty of reveals in the final episode! 😲

@davep Noice. Enjoy the clacking! *eyes backtick key with envy*

@trinsec It’s a moustached emoji wearing glasses. Seemed apt.

Tech bros love to whine about "The EU cookie policy" that simply doesn't exist the way they imagine it. All these popups are the most radical way to interpret the explicit consent demanded by regulations. An ongoing provocation by the ad/tracker industry to blame their ruthless data hoarding on the EU.

@theonides Really? Kinda saw it coming, so many references to Picard’s history. Fairly epic how they pulled it off though. (Trying to avoid spoilers for others who haven’t seen it yet.)

Workity Work 

@arclight Everyone knows that the acceptable margin of error for any system is Apruary 31th.

@davep I checked my layouts and it's [option+3] for `#` and [shift-3] for `£` here. Like you I almost never need `£`, so I guess I must just have built up the finger-muscle memory!

@davep Weird, I’ve never had a problem with # or £, (option-3 and option-shift-3 resp. IIRC—not at my desk ATM) with the (Apple) UK map.

@davep My main irk with the Apple keyboards is the half-height up/down arrow keys. Gimme full-size arrows, damnit!

At home I have a Drevo Calibur V2 Pro, which I absolutely love with the sole exception of the backtick which requires a meta key - a total pain in the ass for all the Markdown I write.

I’m so efficient today that I am managing two coffees before work. Normally it takes one coffee just to become upright.
