I generally see my microblog posts to be pretty normal, but my mother asks me about the things I say on here in a very concerned way.
Hi mom. This list is pinned for you to help get rid of some confusion

* GNU is not a drug

* I cannot download drugs

* I am not suicidal, it is just part of the joke.

* I am grammatically incorrect, not mentally ill.

* I am not part of a gang.

* The flashing button that says "Fix my computer" is NOT to be pressed.

* I may not always show it, but I love you.

Since I've been struggling to understand them for quite some time now, I've written an article about Guile-OpenGL. The bindings aren't particularly challenging to figure out, but there are so few articles about them and I haven't uploaded in ages.

This is my first status update on Functional.cafe 😃 I'll be geeking out about Lisp related rubbish & some IRL nonsense, so don't mind me, thank you.😕

Oh, the link

I’d just like to interject for a moment...

Also, and I usually don't say things like this, so it's a bit out of character, but does the sky in this shot say " #TransRights "?

I'm unfamiliar with the flag pattern.

Watching "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!"

You know, as a kid I used to think Peppermint Patty was gay.

Turns out she's a girl!

Aha! Hold up, it's:

emacsclient -e '(rmail)' -t

So I can open #Emacs #rmail from a keybinding on my window manager because of 'emacs --funcall rmail'.

emacsclient, however, does not have a --funcall argument.
is there still a way to do this?

I still don't know why #GCC has to be a "compiler collection" and not just a C compiler.

I don't write in Fortran or Ada or Go, and if I did, I'd probably just install a compiler for them separately.

If there's one thing that's underappreciated, it's tiled background images.

One time I came across a site with a tiled background, so I hit "See background image" and it turned out to just be a really big PNG that /looked/ tiled!

Yet another lunch interview, and another resume sent out.

I'd say I'm getting tired of these but free lunch is always nice.

Vote day today.

Jeez I still gotta see what parties are out there.

I don't know anything about black holes, but I've heard this one a few times:

"You can't really see a black hole"

Hey, news article writers, you can't really "see" *any* hole! It's not that spooky.

I like 480p and believe it's the "hot spot" resolution for the modern Web.

But hey, let's all just upload:
"Trees Waving in the Wind - 8K 120FPS 10-Hour Loop!"

I think conventional forum sites hold a much higher level of user experience & integrity than unified forums (like Reddit) or social media (Fediverse).

Maybe not "higher" but "different".

Having to access the domain, create a unique account, and fill out a "Captcha" box is something very few spammers/trolls would care about doing, whereas on Reddit you already have access to every other sub around.

I kind of miss the old forums I used to be active in (even though I was usually "the idiot" 😅).

I know it's a bit early, but the Halloween theme for my website is coming along well. It'll be perfect by the time October rolls around!

Slowly making progress...

Now when there's a self-proclaimed genius on the Internet who's obviously factually incorrect (and with way too many upvotes), I no longer feel the need to reply (and when I do, it's with a softer tone, at least)!
