> 1972 - Dennis Ritchie invents a powerful gun that shoots both forward and backward simultaneously. Not satisfied with the number of deaths and permanent maimings from that invention he invents C and Unix.

@inderix I think I'm fine with that. I always close the tab menu by pressing the back button instead of swiping down, so there's no change in functionality for me, just a bit more space

I imagine it might be weird if you use gesture navigation instead of software buttons though

@gavi much appreciated 🙏

Domains like this are why I try to check fediblock every day

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam not sure, but that seems likely

If you're building anything important, make it a website first and an app second, if at all

Something I believe wholeheartedly without proof is that conservatives wouldn't eat the brown part of a banana, but liberals would. How can I get funding to study this?

@Slyence it's a good reference, Bront

An image that's really funny with context. It's an edited panel from the Junji Ito horror comic "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" in which people are drawn to human-shaped holes in a mountainside which, after climbing into them, turns them into monsters. In this edited version, a cylinder is climbing into a square shaped hole saying "This is my hole! It was made for me!" Alongside this is a drawing of a horrified looking woman, a reference to a popular Tiktok in which she watches someone playing a block matching game for toddlers, but watches in increasing horror as the person playing keeps placing everything in the square hole.

Words of wisdom

A cropped image of an Einstein quote which reads: "Albert Einstein said: Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute."

The original quote (which I cannot verify the veracity of) is "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."

Had a dream it was 2060 and the hottest trend with Tiktok's now-elderly userbase was the "nefarious burial challenge" where people would make their end of life plans with the goal of creating as much confusion for future archaeologists as possible

People were bringing back vampire burials, mass […]

@qagggy.bsky.social honestly just flattening the tree roots and replacing the bumpy zebra crossing intersection things on the Fremont-Ballard connection would accomplish 80% of what want to see done on the trail. Those things rattle my ass like it took me to dinner first
