23·3 days agoNTP is one of those fundamental working parts of the internet that nobody has to think much about, because it works so smoothly.
It’s taken for granted, like the lights will come on when you flip a switch. But there’s SO much more to make that happen.
Came across this a few weeks ago. ATProto plugin for Wordpress: https://wordpress.com/plugins/neznam-atproto-share
Combined with the existing https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ ActivityPub and RSS/Atom support, it should be possible to post once / share everywhere.
I was one of those. Happily discovered Voyager. I go back, usually when a search link takes me there.
The mobile app is designed by people who I only imagine get paid by the bulk number of raw clicks/taps on UI elements.
Signal could improve its user interface around groups and people with duplicate display names.
Nah, they really shouldn’t. Way more fun this way.

Doesn’t matter how you cook the chicken. Bake, BBQ, sous-vide. Just slather some of this afterward on top. It’s like goddamn crack.
Have found it in many places, from local supermarket, to Trader Joe’s, Costco, 99 Ranch, even Dollar General. Costco’s is cheaper in bulk, but they don’t always carry it. Also good on pasta or rice with veggies and ANY protein, including tofu. Baked salmon. Check.
Only caveats: don’t cook with it in oven (smokes). Add it afterward. Also, don’t overuse it.
Years ago. Client on-site meeting had run long past lunch. Was in a hurry to drive back home and beat the traffic. It was 1-hour normally, but 2-3x during rush hour.
Saw a sign for a ‘natural’ market. Pulled in. They had an open-face cooler with prepackaged foods and drinks. Sandwiches looked a bit stale. Grabbed a ‘Fresh Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Roll’ and a drink. Hopped on the freeway. Ate in the car.
Never Again.
PS: Still got stuck in traffic.
Software guy. Most productive/distraction free time of the day is mid-afternoon. Drinking at lunch would just take that zone away and push everything to the next day.
Happy to wait till 5pm, or whenever feels like a good time to do a git push.
Say it isn’t so…

There’s a very simple solution to autonomous driving vehicles plowing into walls, cars, or people:
Congress will pass a law that makes NOBODY liable – as long as a human wasn’t involved in the decision making process during the incident.
This will be backed by car makers, software providers, and insurance companies, who will lobby hard for it. After all, no SINGLE person or company made the decision to swerve into oncoming traffic. Surely they can’t be held liable. 🤷🏻♂️
Once that happens, Level 4 driving will come standard and likely be the default mode on most cars. Best of luck everyone else!
