I agree so much with the intention thing you mention! If someone was flirting with me irl it would either go completely over my head or I’d think they are trying to pull some sort of scam, just because I wouldn’t be set up to expect that they have dating intentions (is that a 'tism thing?)

I met my partner on Tinder in 2018 and we’ve been going strong ever since! Ironically though, it turns out that we literally sat across from each other at the University Cafeteria like a week before we met on Tinder, and we both forgot about it (we each had a friend sit next to us at the cafeteria and our friends remembered each other later). We literally chatted without a single thought about dating, just because neither of us realized that it even was an option!

That’s super cool!!

This Halloween falls on a friday, so I’ll probably just be wearing the legs to work with a normal shirt and not mention them at all. Gotta fix all the hot-glued parts until then though, they fell apart very fast last year and I haven’t fixed them yet lol

I hand-sewed some goat legs for halloween last year with basically zero sewing knowledge, it was genuinely such a blast to figure stuff out :D Took like 2 weeks worth of evenings while watching a show but 10/10 would do again.

Lucky patcher will handle it, I suppose

I back up my important images to an external SSD because I don’t want to rely on cloud backup, plus I shuffle around quite a few audiobooks, game roms and ebook collections from time to time. Having faster speeds with that does add up.

I also use Desktop mode quite a lot (my previous phone was a Moto G100 so it had Moto Ready For) and now that a universal Desktop mode is announced for Android 16 I would be quite annoyed if I couldn’t use it just due to hardware limitation. The current Desktop mode preview on GrapheneOS isn’t 100% functional yet either, but at least I know that I will get it working eventually 😄

Was the downgrade to USB-C 2.0 noticeable to you so far? As in, with the slower data transfer speed or lack of Display output?

It’s the main reason why I ended up going with a Pixel 9 pro instead of Fairphone 6 when getting a new phone a few months ago

Using AI to write Unit tests is one of the few use cases I somewhat understand, but even that turns out horrible with improper supervision. I reviewed one Pull Request once where the testing was so horribly cobbled together and nonsensical that I rewrote those tests by hand (after asking the person I was reviewing to fix it twice and them only making it worse by letting their AI rewrite them)

Inkscape is incredible! I needed to vectorize some images in pretty specific ways and struggled through the process with my usual drawing software (Clip Studio Paint). It sucked so much! Inkscape did the same thing much better in a fraction of the time

Bookmarking this, so far I’ve cobbled my Dark/Light Mode switch together with Material-UI themes, but this seems like the cleaner way to do this that I’ve been searching for!

I only figured this out like, a month ago! I only became a frontend dev when I got shifted into a new team at work, so I came in with zero prior knowledge and have been using exclusively React and Typescript since Day 1. Didn’t even know how to add a css class to something or what tags beside <div> html has until I started a personal project, ran into performance issues (while hosting it in a shitty aws free tier micro t2 lol) and started investigating why my code loads 3MB of Javascript every time I refresh the page.

I’m working on getting better at it in my personal project, might even try kicking React out entirely and seeing whether just Laravel Blade + Livewire already does everything I need. No way that I’m rocking the boat at work tho.

Had an awesome weekend! Spent all Saturday sewing an apron for my mom and all Sunday tinkering with my Laravel/React Project and finally deploying it to AWS!

That seems like quite the generalization

omg, gorgeous babies!! 😍
What morphs are they?

I have one and love her very much!!

I don’t have time to elaborate on all questions at the moment, but snakes definitely don’t ever try to kill people out of aggression. Little nips can happen if your snake is defensive/ fearful or mistakes you for food (which, food for them is usually the size of a rat), but there is never malice behind it.

Most snakes aren’t really social, so they probably don’t even recognize different people as anything more than warm trees that smell slightly differently. Which for me personally is perfect, since I couldn’t care for a social pet whenever I fall into depressive episodes. It’s also just nice how clean and low maintenance they are. My snake only eats every 2 weeks or so, and poops maybe every 2-4 weeks. If I go on a trip for a few days, she doesn’t even notice that I’m gone. Plus, she’ll live for 20-30 years.

edit: more snake pros I just remembered:

• They just hang around, so no zipping after a hyperactive pet. I find it quite calming.
• They don’t bite or scratch anything in their enclosure, so you don’t have to constantly change out decorative items (you should still rotate them for enrichment)
• Completely silent, except for the occasional fart at night
• Probably can be kept solitary, I’m actually still waiting for the scientific consensus on that. In comparison, having a solitary rat, bunny or guinea pig is just plain unethical because they’re so social.
• They’re trainable! Not to the extent that a dog or a horse is, but you can teach them basic shifting behavior which really helps reduce stress from handling. Lori Torrini is the biggest resource on snake training right now, it’s amazing what she achieves with her own snakes!

It’s been really warm around here at night (like 26-28°C in my bedroom) so Revy has been super active and zooming around all night

That’s interesting, I’ll check it out! I’m actually not sure which category I fall into, most of my donations go to animal related causes, second place are to groups I feel affiliated with, so mostly artists and gay-ish people.

That makes sense! I usually stay away from anything that automatically renews on a monthly basis since I’m very paranoid about forgetting to cancel, but I guess that might actually be a good thing for donations haha

🙄

Is this AI generated code?
