Cannot stand Duo and Microsoft Authenticator. Proprietary MFA clients should be ridiculed.

Hyperbolic and lacking nuance? Yes. But I came here to shout into the clouds, not to be fair.

It doesn't have to carry that genderedness into English.

Let's hit "magister" and then work our way down. I swear to god I'd change the shit out of my pronouns to fit mage.

The issue, I guess, is that Mr./Ms. have had centuries to be normalized into common use, whereas "magister" still holds a bit of prestige or honor to it. I'm just spitballin'. I'm definitely going to read more into this when I have some time.

I'll cut you a deal: I'll hold onto your data for you, including data you never even asked me to hold, and you only have to pay me for forever. Good?

It can be whatever you like

Babe, on a scale of 0x1 to 0x10, I give you a solid A+.

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

Babe, you are a 0b1.

I drink tea, but not like a "coffee drinker" drinks coffee, nor how the average American drinks soda.

The caffeine doesn't feel noticeable to me, but I am still mindful of drinking it right before bed.

I just like my oolong sessions.

Yes. And I hate that it's so hard to do now. My generation will always have a phone and earbuds in, and then complain that it's hard to meet people.

I've gotten in an elevator with people my age and received awkward looks and silence when I make even a small comment.

Do you ever eat out at restaurants?

Drinking culture

 

I was eating some chocolate when I imagined a world where Hershey's was widely accepted, even by elitists, as the best chocolate.

Is consumer elitism just a facade for pretentious contrarians? Or are there things where even most snobs agree with the masses?

Also, I mean that the product is intrinsically considered to be the best option. I'm not considering social products where the user network makes the experience.

Edit: I was not eating Hershey's. Hershey's being the best chocolate is a bizarro universe in this hypothetical.

Hi! Unfortunately I got sick for Christmas and had to stay home; but as I was trying to rest, it almost felt like I physically could not keep up with my mind. It felt uncomfortable to think idly, and of course there wasn't much I could do to help that. Not sure if I tried meditating, and if I did, I didn't say "I'm gonna meditate now," if you know what I mean.

I've tried looking it up and the results mostly talk about "brain fog," and while that may have been a small part of it, I wouldn't describe this experience as such.

Has anyone else had this experience? Like normal ADHD brain is exhausting and hurts while sick?

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
