Fifty years ago today did man first set foot on the moon, and in all that time we've done bugger all since.

I mean, that's basically just all of the Brexiteer complaints in a nutshell.

Kipper rules Boris Johnson blamed on EU are actually British, says Brussels

People who complain about environmental protestors remind me of that guy who sued Mr Incredible in the Incredibles.

re: UK politics, Extinction Rebellion 

The funny thing is, for all the people complaining about it, is that this isn't even particularly new for Bristol.

A few years ago we had a recurring event called Make Sundays Special, where most of the city centre would just be closed to traffic, the space given over to deckchairs and games and a giant water slide once—and it was frickin' awesome.

UK politics, Extinction Rebellion 

Onto day three of XR's occupation of Bristol and it's actually really swell.

Traffic isn't really any worse than normal. Large areas of the city centre are devoid of traffic and much more pedestrian friendly. I've seen way more cyclists about, and my commute actually takes less time because roads aren't an obstacle anymore.

The actual occupation site is like a chill festival. There's information tents, live music, children playing in the streets, small wares and what I think was a clothes swap. And incredibly tidy too. It's really an ocean of calm surrounded by chaos.

Overall, I kinda prefer it this way.

@casta That’s only really killed off Steam for me (which has apparently had a 64-bit beta version in the works for like 18 months), I more just mean that some third party apps just bug out randomly when I’m trying to use them. Won’t register clicks, the odd random crash, the like.

I installed me some macOS Catalina beta (on my main computer, no less) and—though there's some annoying little bugs—the only real problems I've had have been with third-party app incompatibility.

@may It's more about how well you sleep than how much.

As someone who has recently stopped using Facebook, it’s cray just how much of a walled garden Facebook is. There’s virtually nothing you can see on it without logging into an account first.

I need to fix up the time formatting on the Mastodon integration something fierce.

I went away, ate dinner, came back, realised a super easy way to test this stuff without spamming people’s timelines AND fixed my problem in less than five minutes.

Sometimes y’all just need to take a break, folks.

Why must you do this to me @Gargron.

(I know why this is the case, but it sure doesn’t make my life any easier.)

CORS headers have been the bane of my existence these last two evenings.

I started properly diving into Vue's components and CLI build tools last night after skirting around it for a while and heck this is actually quite nice.

@stuart_otterson You somehow managed to spell the name of the app differently all three times you named it :P

But also @tootapp is pretty cool yo.

The Mulan remake is the first to have actually gotten me interested cause it doesn’t look like a lazy “cartoons but live action” movie but an actual goddamn reimagining.
