@ra6bit@infosec.exchange When dealing with older people do you ever ack like you “pick up” on their “memory issues” and start treating them that way? If they were doing that to me I don’t think I could stop myself. I bet it would drive them nuts. Not in your situation. I’m so sorry they do that to you.

@grumpydad@infosec.exchange @geerlingguy@mastodon.social Prusa has been great for a really long time, support their printers well, and offer upgrades when possible. You could have upgraded a MK3 to a CoreOne+ through upgrade kits over time if you wanted though it would be the printer of Theseus by the end. I’ve got an INDX on order for my CoreOne+.

@Migueldeicaza NodaTime? That’s cute, I’m guessing that’s based (conceptually) on JodaTime, the Java library that then became the basis of the modern Java date/time classes and is serving as a big inspiration of the JS types?

@bagder@mastodon.social “Now most of these reports are correct, to the point that we had to bring in more maintainers to help us.” Well that’s good to see. At least it’s not the 100% made up garbage anymore. Rough situation. Maybe this is where 2 levels of people would help? First for general + find dupes, second for bigger/trickier, passed on from first? IDK. Such a sea change. Going to be interesting to see how the world sorts all this out.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Faming went through a similar pallet in the early 2000s. I’m glad that passed. And I know how you feel. It may be part of why I like animation so much, it hasn’t been hit so hard with browning. It’s so great when a movie has colors that really pop. Yeah a movie about a guy trapped in the middle of the Sahar or Death Valley is going to be low on color. NY, LA, Minneapolis, other real cities have colors.

@film_girl Family member recently had their iPad corrupted. The backups? Also corrupt. So if you restored it it’d go into a boot loop. No solution but to start from scratch. They had been carying the install since iPad 1. All their icons in their favorite spots, preferences, etc. Devastated. I didn’t even know it was possible beforehand.
