#quirks — Public Fediverse posts

I really like the sound from tapping the metal spoon on the rim of the ceramic coffee mug to get the few drops of coffee off the spoon before setting it down.

Ah yes, the mythical "regular expressions that work everywhere"—it's like believing in #unicorns 🦄, except these unicorns only work in some apps and have #syntax #quirks that drive you to madness. Apparently, the secret to mastering #regex is also mastering #disappointment and inconsistency. 🎉

Quirks of Common Lisp Types

Using #GNU as Assembler (not Assembly, but the Assembler) and ld Linker to spit out a working BMP gradient image.

Yeah, you read it right. I'm not using #Assembly to produce an image. I'm, instead, using Assembler directives and macros during compile-time to generate a binary file that happens to be a valid image (BMP) file.

File: tonishing.s (GNU Assembly file)

🚨 Breaking News: Someone with a blog still hasn't made peace with Go, the programming language equivalent of a cardboard cutout. 🎉 After a decade-long battle, they're still heroically tilting at windmills, valiantly pointing out that Go's #quirks are...quirky. 🧐 Spoiler alert: Repetition is key in this epic saga of "Why won't Go change for me?"

While I'm aware of the various de-googled versions of Android, and various other Linux-based non-Android platforms, I'm afraid I can't offer any recommendations, because I have no experience with any of them - or of Android or IOS, either. I don't have a smartphone. Or a dumbphone.

The others contributing in this thread have mentioned some I wasn't familiar with. Anecdotally, running any non-mainstream phone OS means putting up with a lot of quirks, but perhaps they have had better experiences.

🎩 BREAKING NEWS: #JavaScript is weird! 🧙‍♂️ Who would've thought? 🤔 An article reveals the shocking truth that #eval is a #nightmare, #loops are #sneaky, and #ASI is quirkier than your uncle's dance moves at a wedding. 😱 But hey, don't worry, just slap a #linter on it and pretend everything's fine. 🙄

Does anyone else sometimes read odd fictional names and try reversing them to see if it's a word/ clue from the author? I cannot be the only one. Anyone?

Love #Mastodon's #quirks...

It regularly shows me posts in English, even very short ones with no non-dictionary words (jargon etc), with a "translate this" link.

But also regularly gives me posts in German and several other languages... and there's never a translation link on them.

🤷

If you have the @starlabssystems StarLite 5 Linux tablet and the touchpad on the magnetic keyboard doesn’t disable when typing for you (didn’t for me, although I’m on the latest firmware), see the fix here:
