Underrated thread.

It’s totally alien to me but I just stumbled my way through using the shapely Python library to resolve some serious geometry bugs produced when decomposing curves in font glyphs into something PicoVector compatible…

Electric cars, despite a healthy? pre-owned market, still feel like the kind of luxury good where it makes good business sense to milk us poor fuckers for every penny we're worth.

I've found *one* decent speed charger at ~50p 😭

My spam is so completely filled with OEM/ODM emails, crapto drops and blogspam requests that I'm not sure I'd ever find anything legitimate.

But I haven't noticed an uptick, nor more than the odd false positive on the very rare occasion, found by pure luck.

All my experience with CTR is from building reports for an affiliate marketing co back in the dark ages. And most of that I have forgotten 🤣

Well over half a million SERP impressions on Pinout sounds like a big number - but only 16k clicks!? Click moar 🤣 it makes me nothing but I can feast on the numbers.

It’s absurd how often it works 🤦

I’m running all my “IoT” shit off a Mikrotik that’s faring *a lot* better than the garbage TP Link home router it’s supplementing. Find myself switching over to it (it’s only 2.4GHz vs 5GHz of the other) and getting faster internet 🤦

And it’s not like there’s any distance or walls in the way.

Well guess which tool turned the printer off and on again, fixing the problem 🤦
