Re. GitHub and security: TOS says one account per person. If work uses GitHub (and not GH Enterprise)... this means my unsecured home desktop I use for hobby stuff now has unrestricted access to all company code. Is this just... normal? This seems completely messed up. What am I missing?

There are 64 gigs of RAM in this desktop. That's, like, the most memory you'll have in a consumer device. You don't get to use more. What even is happening? I just wanted to watch this podcast :(
Does Chrome have some internal memory usage limits? I still had like 32GB free when at the time.

Dear game developers: please make cutscenes pausable, especially in single-player games. Life happens. I don't wanna miss either your cutscene, or my pasta water boiling over.

✅ GESE Grade 5 SELT test provisional result: "AA (Pass with Distinction)". That means I'll soon have the paperwork to prove I can speak English!
Felt weird, taking a B1 level exam after living & working in London for years, and working in an English-speaking environment for years before.

Bluesky, Mastodon (& the Fediverse), Threads (which, maybe is in the Fediverse), Instagram, Facebook, and I won't even mention the bird site.
Insane fragmentation. Bridging exists, but no real cross-sync. I'm not crazy, right? This is broken. I have friends on each. How do you deal with it?

Apparently Windows 11 has a built-in clipboard history feature. That's another app I thought I'd need to install but now don't. In case you're wondering: press WIN + V.

DPD: We will deliver your parcel today between Z and Y. Your one hour timeslot can't be changed.
Also DPD, 3 minutes later: we just changed your one hour timeslot.
I get it, but also: it's funny how often "it can't be done" just means "we won't let you" :D

Putting code in production on a Friday is a bit like eating expired food. It might be completely fine, but there's also a good chance you'll regret it all weekend.

TIL Microsoft Phone Link (www.microsoft.com/en-gb/window...) exists. Can mess with messages, notifications, photos, links from my phone. And it ... just works? I remember using PushBullet for this back in the day, always felt a bit dodgy. This is pretty neat.

Custom test formats are sometimes a great idea! Here are three examples, which is surprisingly many:
- CLIs: github.com/facebookincu... - Markdown (I helped create this)
- `ty`: github.com/astral-sh/ru... - Markdown
- A MOO server: github.com/rdaum/moor/t... - custom format (I built the test tool)

For a movie where everyone knows Death is personally invested in their future, people in Final Destination Bloodlines NEVER look at the road while driving. This should be a MUCH shorter movie, by all rights.

Happy to report that last Friday was my last day of work at Meta. In two weeks' time, I’ll be joining Axle Energy (www.axle.energy)!
Looking forward to working on something mission-driven, and in a smaller company again. Axle is building software to manage flexible demand on the electricity grid.

Finally got around to finishing Factorio Space Age - left off halfway through Aquilo after playing at release. Good fun, now to wait for that 2.0 update for SE :)
Game time: 97:59:45. Just good enough for the <100h achievement!
