re: AI-generated imagery 

It turns out it does a way better job if you say you want an illustration (or are just way more specific in general)

Being robot is kinda weirdly validating feeling right now?

Not sure why exactly, other than maybe the re-occurring realisation that I've hated my flesh prison for most of my life and robots are pretty darn neat.

It's a bit of a quirk of the civil service in general that pay grade is directly tied to hierarchical seniority.

I basically leapt directly into a senior-ish position by virtue of it being a specialised role that commands a high-ish salary.

if you have never used the --patch (-p) switch with git, you are missing out.
It's supported by add, commit, checkout, reset.

Basically any command that moves things things to/from the working tree/index, and it allows you to select what to move

It's amazing.

This table weirds me out because if I were in the military I’d apparently be equivalent to a captain or colonel and that seems like way more responsibility than I actually have.

I get that Opera is probably one of the most struggling browser vendors still around but them launching a crypto-integrated version of their browser is just 🤮

Something I've noticed to be sorely lacking from a lot of fandom spaces is accessibility knowledge.

Like, the websites for groups and conventions and such tend to be pretty garbage on the accessibility front, which seems weird when a lot of those fandoms are home to neurodivergent and disabled people.

I wonder if there's something that can be done there?

This is a joke about Fedi culture 

Anyway, welcome to Fedi, which basically means you signed up to become a member of a local anarchist collective, you have been given a fursona, and you've been assigned an episode of Deep Space Nine to write a 1500 word essay on (yes this will be on the quiz)

I had their seafood basket-sounding thing, which turned out to contain entire fish and giant prawns.

For lunch today I went to a market stall that specialised in seafood.

I did not anticipate how hard they went into seafood.

Crab burger? Oh so it's like a patty made of various ingredients, including crab meat? Haha, nope, it's an entire softshell crab in a burger.

I remember back when Firefox 4 was first announced and damn I thought it looked so cool.

And I still do. Shit looks cool as hell.

Star Treks are very good today. I enjoyed muchly.

Didn't know what to do this evening so I plucked something from my todo list, only to find I'd already done all but the last step of changing a one thing in a config file.

Well, I changed the config file now. A productive evening was had by all.

Today I have to actually commute to and work from an office 😫

What year is it, 2019??

I added OpenGraph metadata to my website, so naturally I needed to make an image to accompany it.

I think I did a pretty good job.
