I haven’t had a DLL issue in Windows in like 20 years.

It’s just easier. I have both but I almost never use Mastodon anymore. Federation there doesn’t seem to work right. I didn’t know what an instance was so I joined mastodon.social. Finding and following people in the app doesn’t always seem to work right if they’re on another instance. Doing it in a browser is even more painful.

The people I liked to follow and interact with on X, many tried Mastodon and abandoned it, and many more are now on Bluesky. This creates momentum to “follow the crowd” as it were.

Additionally, you only have one chance to make a first impression. A lot of us tried Mastodon earlier and it wasn’t ready. Bluesky started as invite-only, which drummed up interest before catching this zeitgeist of people leaving X.

Lastly, and maybe it’s just me, but the font sizing on the official Mastodon app on Android is generally too small and can’t be changed. Bluesky allows me to change it and make it more comfortable to use.

That’s why I don’t store it with the Amontillado.

Fuck Ted Faro!

Don’t! Be evil!

One of the three carriers in Canada is about to do away with prepaid entirely in December. That said, I have a pretty affordable monthly plan and I buy my phones outright.

But he’s not a woman.

It’s impressive that he managed to avoid touching any grass for 11 years!

I guess it’s time to switch to Linux finally.

Aww 😞

Doesn’t look like it, unfortunately. But it’s planned. Kotlin can also compile to JavaScript with DOM manipulation. I’ve not tried either scenario, myself.

It’s in alpha, but there is a Kotlin to wasm compiler in the works.

Been a developer for 20 years and the temptation to quit and be a stay-at-home Dad is really tempting if it was at all financially viable.

Even though I won’t be there for it, somehow heat death makes me very sad.

Haha, hire developers? No, no, no. Doesn’t off-the-shelf software just work? /s

Haha, no, cause then I’d be paid more.

And then the logging shows that nobody uses half the fields, but the business won’t let you remove any.

Oh no, my company is going to integrate with Service Now! Should I be scared?

I look forward to them being equipped with the ability to refuel by consuming biomass, self replicating, and having unbreakable encryption so they can’t be stopped!
