I just envisioned the most Canada dish ever
1) you make some chocolate donut holes (and call them Timbits)
2) you make a lemon creamcheese icing
3) you drizzle the icing over a bowl of the timbits
You can it Timbit Poutine

@silverwizard I thought it went like this:
- Q1: January, February, March
- Q2: April, May, June
- Q3: July, August, September
- Q4: October, November, December
Although there may be difference between calendar year and fiscal year 🤷♂️

@Hypolite Petovan Ah but we have decided to move our calendar so that Q4 ended at the end of May

I understand it's really easy to build a lil' car out of a disposable camera using the motors for film winding or whatever - but I've never done it. I've looked for guides on how to do it - but I mostly find the dumb like "here's a tazer from a camera" instructions.
Apparently I can't report someone who is using Mastodon, because I am not using Mastodon.
I can't even just go over to their mastodon page and report them.

Apparently since the release of ChatGPT our emails from our sales people are getting blocked for being spam.
Almost like writing weird generic spam instead of an email gets your domain blocked

are we talking about general emails (like direct communication with customers and prospects), or marketing campaign/mailing lists?
If the latter, you may consider using a service that is dedicated to this type of messaging (Sengrid, Mailchimp, whatever). It will have its own DKIM signature and a different origin (of course present in SPF records), and would make human, hand-crafted artisan messages written with love less likely to be blocked by a blanket RBL listing.
If the former, then maybe you don't need salespeople after all. Just an OpenAI API subscription and a couple of scripts.

Wow! An entire #HackerPublicRadio series on #AWK. I'm sure I've heard some of these already, but I'll see if I can add just the series to @AntennaPod and decrease even more my copious amounts of free time for listening 😉
And, of course, repeat my so-far unkept promise to contribute an episode or two. I hear @hpr is running low on episodes again.

@bobjonkman @ghostdancer @AntennaPod @hpr In my case discovering #AWK was an introduction to the "Unix Way". I found a version to run on the OpenVMS system I was administering in the 1980's or later, and it made life so much easier. Handling data from the student records system (to make accounts for them) was so much easier than writing compiled programs!
Bob Jonkman reshared this.
@Dave Morriss @ghostdancer @Hacker Public Radio @AntennaPod @Bob Jonkman AWK always feels like an arcane thing to me - it's something my dad has implemented three times on three systems - and so it's kinda always been a mythical tool. But so has KornShell and that's also my default shell.

@perloid @ghostdancer @hpr @AntennaPod @bobjonkman I used awk in my hardware detection script, but I had to look up how to use it and then experiment a bit... Sed and awk are both a bit mystical to us 'desktop users.' :) But still super handy for hacking together things.

@Hypolite Petovan at least the writer's strike is about the studios acknowledging they are gonna go:
make AI write useless script
hire writer as an *editor* and violate guild rules but try to be a dick on a technicality where Draft 0 was by AI

Sean, we want to see more leadership from you! But you 100% cannot have admin access to our email.
You can control the MX record, have control over the users, have the ability to read everything, just not the Admin keyword. Meaning you have to bug the CEO whenever something changes, and boy will he get mad at you for bugging him.

can you creat a ramdisk and mount that somewhere, then create the required hierarchy in the mounted ramdisk fs? Or maybe mounting a tmpfs filesystem is an option.

That was one of the problems that occurred to me when I read about a Skyrim mod using ChatGPT.
One of the things that astonishes me about this imminent disaster is that people seem oblivious that the main virtue of computing is getting definite answers to specific questions; LLMs will make computers completely useless for their primary purpose.

And Cloisonné basically decided to smash her Subaru into Mother Apocolypse in order to protect Joy from her mother, and no one is sure what to do with these emotions.
This is your fault and I think we all love you for it! Thanks so much - that was really good (and for two players a very Feet First intro to UA)
