It turns out, ICQ was foretelling the future of social media when they associated the sound of incoming messages with "uh oh"

@lerven Impressive indeed! That reminds me my exercises long long ago with Basic programming language. Where did you take the text? I mean, the score?

@internetarchive and thanks for bringing attention to the use of AI in climate change mitigation. As someone who worked in climate data for four years, I can say that LLMs provide a lot of help in identifying and comparing projects for reducing emissions and adapting to a changing world. ClimateGPT looks like a great project to share.

@tonygeb23 Wow Wow, we are getting an OBS Studio competitor but better! Go Tony, beat them, I believe in you!

This one was a labor of love in more ways than one. I put this one together for my wife, and it is probably my favorite one. It was extra difficult because I couldn't consult her on chords like I normally would. But here we are. @alyssa6595

@ostapkobender Гораздо смешнее, что реально есть писатель по имени Юнь Хуянь. Я всё понимаю, как бы сам лингвист и всякое такое, вроде тупо смеяться над такими вещами, но блин, смешно же!

@gemlog I always thought you spelled (I mean, spelt) British/Common Wealth. colour, customise, behaviour, all this stuff.

@technocounselor Absolutely, Allison. I constantly feel guilty, like look, you don't work and claude doesn't work on your behalf, why? Go work!

Now that vibe coding is a thing, is it just me, or does anyone feel an intense pressure to release updates and fix bugs and provide support as quickly as possible? I want to, honestly I do, but I work full-time. Everything I do regarding my projects is on my own time and on my own dime. Maybe it’s pressure I’m putting on myself, but I want people to love and use what I make, and they won’t do that for too long if there are bugs, so I work as hard as I can to try to fix them.

@technolass It would be neat, where did you get the words, a dictionary, a public API?

@technolass And very addictive, btw! I'm already thinking… maybe we can make it multilingual? 😊

@technolass "Conceptualized by Caroline Toews". I like the word, will remember! BTW, you make it far more sophisticated from the last time I saw it.

@folfdk Thank you so much! I'll update the post, yes, I'm considering really this: copy the data and calmly work on the copy.

@crazydutchy Thanks, will consider also.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @drwho As far as I understand, it's kinda tedious to get to that USB disk through WSL2. I mean, I use it every day for development, but in this case just don't know, hence I'm asking.
