@JakubKuczys @willmcgugan Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is why the repr includes the id information. It is *infuriating* to spend a bunch of time debugging what you think is two of the same object only to find out later they don't even compare equal or something.

"Whenever there's a SuperKitties ad it makes me want to watch SuperKitties."

YouTube uses *Targeted Advertising*... It's super effective!

Amazon seems to be suggesting that I should order a "spare prince harry".

I don't even have *one* prince harry, I can't imagine that I'd need two of them.

@adamchainz I don't mind short videos (though in practice any TikTok style videos I see are all terrible because they are optimized to be trendy meme type things), I mean the actual form factor is horrible.

They're in portrait mode and at least the interface on YT seems to be set up for you to start scrolling and see one after the other, as opposed to a normal YouTube video.

Wow, this is the first time I've encountered Youtube "shorts". This is *horrible*.

I want to say that this marks my transition into a "kids these days are incomprehensible" old man, but I'm pretty sure that this isn't even my final form in that respect.

@brianokken I think something like `set_error_logger` or `set_failure_logger` or something.

Importantly, you probably shouldn't call it anything with `_function`, since that doesn't really explain what kind of function or the purpose of the function in any way.

@alex https with a valid cert, unfortunately (for this hypothesis, at least)

@brianokken I mean, I *literally* just wrote this article less than a week ago: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2023/01/attractive-nuisances.html

I'll note that this has happened on two totally different phones.

I know the feeds work because my wife found some convoluted way to add it once that involved QR codes, and the feed opens just fine. I also used to be able to do this somehow, and I can see old feeds that I added in their list of shows.

Any of y'all #ios havers understand how to add a podcast by RSS url in the podcasts app?

I unfortunately have a few #apple users in my life and when I try to add podcast feeds available locally, nothing seems to work. Safari doesn't know what app to open RSS feeds with, so I go into podcasts, click the three dots and "Follow show by URL", click submit and then... nothing. No indication of success or failure, and the show doesn't seem to be there.

@adamchainz Yeah I'm pretty sure they got the promo.

"Did you know that Alexa can do fart sounds?"
Normal person: "No."
Person with kids: "Um. Yes. I'm familiar."
Some PM at Amazon: "*sigh* Yes."

Excerpt from someone at Amazon's promotion document:

- Spearheaded the development of the "Big Fart" Alexa skill, which has been activate 20M times in its first quarter.
- Added "wet farts" and "squeaky farts", increasing engagement with the "Big Fart" skill by 25%

@tintvrtkovic Yeah, I have found that my relationship to open source development has dramatically changed as my life circumstances have changed, as well. Hard to set a single policy that will work for your entire life, so it's best to stay flexible — not entirely related to what kind of feature requests to accept, except that it should probably bias you against things that will require constant upkeep in the event that you want to step back.
