wolfe but sad @wolfgang@awoo.space

buying domains at 4:30 am is definitely a thing i won't regret right?

it was always really weird to me how in Hebrew Mode my speech parts could combine any set of consonants together every which way, but then whenever i'd go Fake American, i'd be limited to what english allows + maybe a couple extra consonant clusters for *some* names

pronouncing the word awoo the way republicans from the south pronounce the word arab

i continue to have no idea if i'm actually sick or if this is just what 20°C (68°F) feels like to me now

@else like, yeah, but i was thinking about it in terms of "a job is some form of work that must be done by a person OR ELSE" (no pun intended) -- so most societies HAVE to have SOME number of jobs to be able to function (food, infrastructure, childcare)

jobs can be a Job as defined by Law and registered with israel's Tax Authority and The Institute for National Insurance and involve signing draconian 20 page contracts like my last office job,

but in my mind they can also look like being forced to marry an abusive man and birth and raise his children

or accidentally creating a piece of vital internet infrastructure and having no one who could serve as your replacement (for technical and/or political reasons) and if you delete it or even if you just quit and stop maintaining it, big important infrastructural software starts to fail

or doing art commissions online so you can pay rent and various bills and not get kicked out of your apartment/get disconnected from [essential service]

or growing wheat in your family's fields and taking some percentage of it up to the temple in jerusalem three times a year to give to the priests who would (send someone to) exile/imprison/kill you if you ever stopped

or going to get fresh water from the well so your family doesn't die of thirst today

*some* of these might get compensated in terms of currency, but not *all* of them

open source stuff can be a hobby, like my living room bus sign; or it can be a sponsored, paid, legal job like linus torvalds or dan abramov; but it can also be an accidental, unpaid job, like the leftpad guy whose name i forgot (Azer Koçulu, after duck duck going)

i suspect(?) that turning existing stuff into open source software can sometimes lead to that third kind of thing, which,,, uh,,,,, isn't good maybe?

at this point it feels like i should have a file on my desktop called "steps necessary to reinstall postgres next time it breaks.txt"

oh of course! i updated my os, so now postgresql broke even though it's the exact same version

@else doesn't it mostly just make them unpaid? 😬​

wanna incorporate ui icons into your webapp? add one line of css, and browse an online catalog instantly to find the icon you need

wanna incorporate ui icons into your ios app? it's built in! yay! oh, but you wanna browse the catalog? gotta download and install a 175 mb macos app to do that!!!

new pr created 😎​

ah, no, nevermind. practically just moving existing code into an existing callback

me: i would like to find all occurrences of authenticatedOtherIdentities in the code

xcode: ok, here it is, mentioned 3 times in this one single line!

@Published private(set) public var authenticatedOtherIdentities = [Identity]()

me: wait those are---

xcode: a getter, a setter, and a property! three occurrences :)

me: but... that's....

xcode: :)

me:

xcode: :)

me: whatever

oh god the related bug is a. not actually very related at all, and b. way more complex than i thought

oh and also incorporate into that a solution for the related bug i discovered while trying to replicate this bug

ooooKAY! after trudging through the Swamp of Object Oriented, i think i've finally fixed the bug i wanted to fix!!!!!!!!! but in a slightly dirty way.

let's see if i can fix it in a non dirty way now
