My son will randomly decide he wants to make things. And basically has no conception that he can't make things and that's really exciting.
He also made a train out of playdough, and then made a little mini-motor like he'd seen in toys, and opened the playdough train, put the playdough motor in, and said it could go by itself.
Just so proud of how much I've let him understand making.

Basically it boiled down to
1) Freegansim will allow you to feed people for cheap, and taxes are bad, so if you can feed people with social discards you don't need to raise taxes
2) Feeding yourself for free is an important part of Pulling Yourself Up By Your Bootstaps
And like - sure - the premises are bad - but the actual stuff is... fine?

Both you and the baby aren't stupid (if you do this), theory of mind is literally empathy so if you misunderstand chatgpt as human-like, that's probably because empathy.
But if you make fun of babies I will cut you

So I use castget gratuitously to the point of madness. But my biggest problem with it is that sometimes people completely garbage out their RSS feed and it detects as all new.

So we have to do a bunch of security trainings again in August or whatever - and I know I hate all of the security trainings - but I was wondering about fairly seriously suggesting doing an Engineering Wide "Watch the training and mock it" session
The actual goal being to have people discuss the modules and what we think is good and bad about it - and why we think things are bad/irrelevant in a productive way, with an informal feel - in order to get real security awareness training done but without making it feel as bad
How do you feel about that?
Well, I just made this suggestion to my other half in management and see if I can get this to be formal policy
We don't *make* security training
We make FUN of them
I feel bad for the security training companies - they're impossible to do a good video for, it's an impossible job, and I'm sorry this is my best solution to make it engaging

Most linux frontends I use seem to have strongly disabled the "middle click to paste selected text" and also generally "selecting text sends it to the selection buffer", and I presume this is a paranoia thing, but it's also a huge pain because there doesn't seem to be an option to change it. And it has cratered my workflows.
Okay, so the rendering of a profile picture on here is sort of weird. I use the cropping tool, which will only let me crop a square, but then it will remember the aspect ratio of the original image, and then scale the square to match that aspect ratio. Very odd. Will need to find a square picture to use.
Just cropped and scaled down a picture of my FFXIV character, still weird how Friendica scales images when you try to crop them for a profile pic.
@MatchaZed The worst part is that I think Mastodon will crop it to a circle anyway.

I am running a Cyberpunk game where a corporate has their headquarters outside a city, but few onsite apartments, so the people who are *in power* all do what is known locally as The Commute, a two hour traffic jam.
The world is making it clear that there's off-road public transit available, and there's an economy of people doing bike food deliveries, prostitution, and busking along the track for the four hours a day people are spending in traffic.
All for the right to drive to work in their own car.
And - Cyberpunk hurts me

Hey #OpenBSD people - are you getting perl errors after upgrade to 7.3?
I've upgraded 3 servers successfully so far, but bringing up my webserver gives me:
CPAN and CPANm both give me the same kind of errors. perl-migrate-modules gives a similar error. I rolled back the update and pkg_add work, and I ran perl-migrate-modules to try to get XS versions and things correct, and then I ran the upgrade again, with same issue.
My env is pretty empty, and I've tried deleting my perl5 directory, and other site packages (pkg_add explicitly no_libs them but you know).
Anyone else seeing this?

@Andrew Hewus Fresh yeah, Perl migrate modules is for migrating your installed modules to a new Perl binary apparently, but yeah
Yeah, I nuked my perl5 dir and it definitely no_libbed
It definitely is weird because Zlib wasn't there but I've installed three servers successfully from this install73.iso (but used the http mirror to get the files... On all servers), and it's persistent on this server and only this one...
It's super odd

@Hypolite Petovan I am looking to buy a bunch of Lego for my son for his birthday. Is there a good tool for looking at a general view of like, weight to volume, and is there a standard bulk-lego supplier?
@Andreas vom Zwenkauer See I have a hard time taking these sets with a very low price per part seriously, in part because they're standing on the shoulders of the elephant in the room. For example, I sold today a couple of LEGO sets that were released in 1993, so 30 years ago, and not only the parts I found for these sets in the bin I sorted were in great condition (albeit a little dirty), I was able to replace most missing parts seamlessly with much newer parts. These for me are proofs of an ongoing quality commitment dating back at least 30 years that none of the newer LEGO-compatible brick ventures, however well-intentioned, can ever claim to match.
One of the reasons the LEGO second-hand market has always been very strong is the normalization LEGO introduced in the 70s (!). As a result, LEGO parts always have been a known quantity, and you can build a business based on trading genuine LEGO parts because of this ongoing trust in the product itself. Is LEGO overcharging for new sets? With such an incredible engineering legacy for what was considered like mere children toys until very recently, they damn well can, and I'm absolutely not ready to quit this field because of outlandish price-per-part claims.
Let's talk about the BlueBrixx second-hand market in 30 years, shall we? 😄
