@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI was sent a link for a very weird survey... It asked about Meta, Amazon, Walmart, and also... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
It seemed to be asking if I was a fan of corporations. I am not, and I let them know.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialI ran Snow Leopard on my main personal server longer than any other OS version. I only moved to a new version when the last Mac I had that could run SL died.
I like a lot of things that exist in more modern macOS which were not present in SL. I deeply miss its stability.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaHrmm, Jellyfin Nginx 1.28 don't seem to play well with each other.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsThis is the #Garbce stop on railway line 271 (Poznań — Wrocław), renovated a few years ago.
The platforms end a dozen metres from the railway crossing. However, there is no walkway from the platforms to the crossing; probably because it would need to cross a tiny stream. Instead, a 100 m long walkways have been added to the other end of the platforms, with a tunnel joining the platforms and access to a side road in the town. To reach the railway crossing, you have to walk 700 m.
Ironically, even in the general drought the tunnel manages to feature puddles of ground water. Also including the photo of a platform roofing with weird orange marks.

@mlawton@mstdn.socialSurprised to see Endo going forward as much as he has. At the time, up two goals and caught out. Not saying it's his fault, as the turnover was elsewhere, but the choice to be advanced is weird.

I've found myself doing this a lot around live coding, on one level it seems helpful to know about prior art, and fun to talk about weird old projects/events. On the other it could be stifling to obsess over identifying the 'first' person to try something, and might feel like old people are trying to pitch their tents all over your garden.
