@aescling you should start a tilde town

i don’t want to operate a tilde town, but i do think all of my friends should have a server they can rsync files to and have them appear on the web

apparently i can process a .5MB TSV with xsltproc extremely quickly with no problems

this xml file is going to end up like half a megabyte and i have a dayjob

niantic add Any good bug or poison pokémon to pogo challenge

U+FFFF is a VALID UNICODE CHARACTER and i WILL use it as a delimiting sigil when processing strings which are restricted to the Char production!!

trying to negotiate dual feelings of “ugh why are you listening to this bourgeois thinkfluencer and not real organizations of real labourers” and “actually, this person owns approximately zero of the necessary means for any of their labours”

i’m thinking of like, professional speakers and high⹀end consultants here, to be clear; professions where social pressures demand bourgeois hires despite it not actually being a bourgeois role

is there a name for the kinds of people that capitalist society props up with a bourgeois lifestyle even tho, analysing their relationship to labour, they are not actually bourgeois?

niantic please never do this

niantic release a “pikachu with gender-changing cardboard taped to its tail” event pokémon you cowards

anyway i would argue translation is fair use insofar as “the copyright holder” is not engaged or interested in producing or licencing a translation of their own but consult your lawyer on that

remembering when i was at a library tech conference in october and an archives guy was like “i would love to get sued because at least then i might learn who took the photograph”

it was commissioned by a childrens theatre run by the Soviet government

Wikipedia claims peter and the wolf was formerly in the public domain but placed back under copyright by Golan v. Holder—who is the copyright holder tho?

according to the dream i just woke up from, the gold standard elementary text for translating into your conlang should be “peter and the wolf”

i¦ve been wanting to rework my keyboard layout all year but i keep putting it off because it will ruin my typing speed when i do, but in the meantime it just keeps getting more and more strange

“—and then you rent it a U-Haul”

it sounds like computer fans

yes i used an alpha unicode codepoint even though it has not yet been approved via an ISO Proposed Draft Amendment (PDAM) technical ballot
