Wow, what a weird rabbit-hole I just ended up down.
So, the “Spread Mastodon" page (tutorial?) recommends a cool-sounding browser extension as an alternative to all those constantly-dead 'fedifinder' / Twitter-person-looker-upper-tools: the ‘Whosum Social Assistant' browser extension.
Sounds cool! Sounds like the correct solution to this problem!

#Tesla shares are kind of slowly recovering their past price.
I suspect it's not just people "buying the dip", but also "the market" reacting to boycotters being caught.
Please, be careful, be smart, don't get caught.

"On Sunday, July 20th, 1969, at precisely 20:14:19 UTC, just a mere three minutes before touchdown, the voice of Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. confirmed the “Go for landing” order received from Mission Control together with a phrase nobody wanted to hear at that moment: “Program alarm – 1201.”"

Project Espresso alpha now available
"We are excited to announce that Project Espresso, our project to port Adélie Linux to the Wii U console, has just released alpha repositories. We will be providing root images for SD cards in the coming days. For more information, including links to the repositories and how to set up your existing install to use these binaries, see the linked blog post. Happy computing!"

I have a relatively new #ASUS ProArt13 laptop where I still have a #Microsoft #Windows installation so I can keep upgrading its firmware (I planned removing it once I have a stable #Linux distro with kernel >= 6.14).
I'm surprised by how unstable it is. Just leaving it doing nothing for more than 10 minutes is enough to trigger a #BlueScreenOfDeath (I can reproduce the issue). If I keep doing stuff, it does not crash.
At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).

Ok, so... late to the "party", but I'm reading that also @… is jumping into the #LLMs bandwagon.
It's just so... sad, stupid, and infuriating. Really, why?

"Go is a triumph in developer experience and efficiency, a language and a runtime created by very experienced designers built to solve a particular problem in a lightweight manner. Just like PostgreSQL and Git, some technologies survive Darwinian evolutionary cataclysms and rise to the top of their craft. Without any doubt, Go belongs to this select group, and if somewhat naïvely we take the past 15 years as a proof, its future looks definitely bright."

#Mexico forbids killing bulls and subjecting them to the most extreme forms of torture.
#Spain is, sadly, still far behind... but I suspect that Mexico's precedent will help, not just as a good example, but also because it will severely decrease the income of many of those bullfighters (toreros).
Toreros usually travel through many countries to participate in these bloody spectacles and make a living out of it. Removing Mexico from their list will be a big thing, so it is likely that many of them will have to do something else with their lives.

Just occurred to me that, while #TypeScript transition to a #Golang based typechecker and compiler is going to be quite good for development agility... this move could force other actors such as #Deno to rethink how they operate.
Types striping will be as easy as today, perhaps even easier, but if I recall correctly, Deno was offering typechecking as well, keeping this feature might become much more expensive in the future.
