  1. Brace yourselves, because someone just remembered that typing on a keyboard counts as "writing #code by hand" 🤦‍♂️. Who knew that #nostalgia for inefficient #manual labor would be the next big trend #in tech? Just wait until this absolute genius re-discovers deploying code with #carrier #pigeons 🐦.

  2. Got the #MKDOCs machine fired-up... maybe I'll get more of the #manual done next week? It's mostly stubs right now but, I will at least use a #Motif. It is sporting my custom #font of course.

    I changed tense at some point, it was late. I'll get back to it another time maybe.

  3. #MissKittyPolitics #AI #research Not just being hopeful. Publishing #electoral exploit for somebody that may have the girth to pull it off & has the same intentions. And I am reviewing the #installation and #configuration #manual I have generated for affordable #decentralized #AI. Existing CPU. #dAI

  4. 🎨🛠️ Oh, woe is the woodworker who blames the shiny new #machines for his existential crisis instead of his own laziness! 🤖🪵 Apparently, giving up the sweet, sweet struggle of #manual #labor is the machines' fault now. 😂

    I suspect that this has changed over the years. Kay Sievers's original proposal in 2010 indeed had the active device as the last one. But Lennart Poettering writing in 2012, after things had settled down amongst the kernel developers, wrote that the active device was the first one. I vaguely remember inspecting the code that constructed the string to check, at the time. I'll try to remember to have another look.

  10. 🚀💥 Behold, the mind-blowing revelation that you can actually open files with `less` without having to summon the ancient spirits of the #command line! 🧙‍♂️✨ Who knew that #reading the #manual could birth such earth-shattering insights? 📚🔍

  11. Minor vent about #FOSS usability...

    Some FOSS #software is pretty darned good in some or most respects, but then you run into a sharp edge or missing battery that makes you #facepalm.

    The #GIMP, besides the #problematic name, has one such. It is widely lauded for its abilities when #printing images. I don't print much in the way of photography or fine art, so it's not something I personally notice, but a lot of people swear by it.

    However, if you search the web for "how to print a large #image over multiple #pages", you will find that the only way to do it is to cut the image up into separate, smaller images, and then each chunk can be printed to a page. You have to basically do this by hand (there's a function that can chop an image into pieces according to your settings, but that's it as far as automation goes), and if you want to fit the resulting pages together, you've got to make sure you preserve the DPI across multiple images, and ensure there's no overlap or missing bits, etc.

    There are a *ton* of results for people looking for how to accomplish this, and all the replies are "You can't, do it by hand". Considering how trivial the necessary operations are for a computer, it's a #bizarre #omission.

  12. 🐣🎩 Oh, what a shocker! #pgvector isn't the silver bullet, and running it in #production is like trying to teach a penguin to fly. Turns out, you'd be better off reading a #query #planner #manual than relying on this "cutting-edge" technology! 🚀💥

    The upcoming Fiat 500 Ibrida (Hybrid) is no longer a mystery car hiding behind camouflage—thanks to our friend…

  15. I can’t say I’m surprised. The #manual had the option for the 3.0L inline six-pot while the 2.0L only came with the automatic. That, and I doubt a lot of #Supra buyers wanted that weird #BMW shifter nub in the middle of their center console. #cars autoblog.com/news/toyota-supra

  16. The "pandoc user's guide" Markdown file is part of the executable; it can be accessed by running

    pandoc --print-default-data-file MANUAL.txt

    Use

    pandoc --print-default-data-file MANUAL.txt | pandoc …

    to convert it to any pandoc-supported format. E.g., to read it in a terminal, try `--to=ansi`.

  17. Dear Friends of somehow, ​:ablobcatbongokeyboard:​

    As we may
    #know,
    - It becomes what we are [includes the
    #fediverse]
    - Manually read the
    #manual [explains? or you already know?]
    - What you think, you R [not X]

    In other words a
    #life of #ease only exists in advertising, propaganda and #fantasy #ideals. In #Buddhism this is called #Sukah [yep #homophone of sucker!] ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukha

    So where do we enhance our
    #positive, when #ideals are dying, dead or hard to find? I might #suggest:

    - Brain reboot [daily preferably]
    ​:gi:​
    - Sheep, lemmings, flocks and tribes are not the way
    😮
    - Thank the... the... everything, everywhere all at 1's
    ​:ablobcatgoogly:​

    The answers are always
    #present. #Always #staring us in the #possibilities and #potential. Some wounded beyond repair, despair. They reach out. We help. We help our selves.

    Hope these clues are helpful.
    ❤️

  18. Die klassische MS-DOS-Version von SimCity 2000 war immer eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsspiele!

    Die letzten Wochen hinweg hatte ich daher nun mit viel Mühe an einer komplett neuen, digitalen PDF-Version des deutschen SC2K Handbuchs gearbeitet. Ich hoffe, es hat sich gelohnt!

    Viel Spaß damit! 🙂

  20. @sautzenberger Sorry to keep you waiting, friend. I am making good progress, but I am also working on other things, too. I'll put up a link to the PDF as soon as it's done. 😉

  22. Back in 1993/94, SimCity 2000 for MS-DOS and Macintosh was super popular! So... one would think, finding the official PDF manual today should be easy as pie. But, strangely, it's not! - When you browse online libraries, all you ever find is that horrible "online" version with huge navigational arrows at the bottom of each page. Thanks, but "No, thanks!".

    Oh well. Since no one else in the retro community seems to be volunteering, I am taking this into my own hands now. It will probably take a few days, but this one will be uploaded to archive.org shortly. Have fun!
