although to be honest, the sound was *really* bad where I was standing so I heard barely any of the synth instrumentation except in the songs where it dominates. not sure if that was the specific spot or if the sound was scuffed or what. it was […]

the crowd sang along to "Meow" which was really something

and they went out on "Endless Fantasy" which, honestly, a hell of a choice for a closer. Endless Fantasy is kinda like their whole vibe (or at least the "old" stuff)

they also played "Hopes and Dreams" from that game that Sans Undertale was in

Etymonline is one of the most underappreciated sole-curator resources on the internet. Its not made by a company, just a very wonderfully lyrical person who does it as a labor of love.

I am writing software! And by writing software I mean:

1. Staring at mysteriously failing build.
2. Upgrading a GitHub Actions step's version.
3. Staring at mysteriously failing build, again.
4. Realizing I committed to the wrong branch, commit to the right branch.
5. Staring at mysteriously […]

Surely one cannot talk about microswitches used in mice (with focus on logitech mice) for 76 minutes and keep it interesting, right?

very little in tech makes me as angry as people who abuse beginners in this particular way in explicit "get help here" communities

it's such an ugly thing to do to beginners just so you can feel like a smart boi. fuck off.

[narrator voice] it was, in fact, not easy for him. but he did it anyway because he wasn't a huge dickhead

Very excited about some new ANSI goodness coming in the next https://github.com/meejah/fowl release (along with some "real" enhancements and bug-fixes).
