People use stalebot when they're too cowardly to close issues because they have no interest in addressing them. They can just go "oh well, people didn't have the energy to catch the bot after the 5th time, I guess there's not enough interest after all"

I'm kinda thankful in a way that programming took a big step back as a hobby after turning it into my job. I don't think I would've returned to art as passionately as I have otherwise

@killyourfm Turning programming into my job is exactly why I won't even try to make money with my art now

I noticed I accidentally played an unlicensed Mario sound sample on stream. "Oops, I hope Nintendo won't find out." I laughed, people in my voice chat laughed, the Nintendo Alarmo on my nightstand laughed, a horde of lawyers kicked in my door. It was a good time.

The Mastodon devs haven't tested their scrollbar in Firefox.

@karb Of all the options, I think biological is almost impossible to get right.

I find it easy to suspend my disbelieve because "it's magic, it just works™" and "our technology is already so unimaginably complex, I guess it could exist".

But biology exists in our daily lives and that makes it harder to come up with something that doesn't contradict our view of how it works. Shape-shifting IRL is limited to very "simple" things such as caterpillar -> butterfly, and that takes weeks or months, for a body that's only a tiny fraction in mass compared to that of a human.

@catraxx I don't know the details, but I assume they wouldn't give up so easily without a good reason when they were the ones contacting us first.
