Hi, I'm Danko, 37, from Riga, 🇱🇻 #Latvia

Mostly #webdev, mostly #TypeScript, sometimes #Rust. Curly braces, semicolons, tabs. #Linux noob since 2005.

Cishet white dude, atheist, left-ish. ADHD + MDD.

I like loud electronic music, twin-stick shooters and cats.

The avatar is me rudely pointing at the viewer (since 2006). The header image is the This Is Fine dog saying "Sorry, something went wrong."

If I should've boosted your picture that I liked, it's quite likely that you should've put alt text on it.

@felisrandomis@pawb.fun these are the actual ads for the billboard company (that euroawk in the corner). We had them here a long time ago (localized) and yeah, first you snort, then you gotta admire the creativity.

It's not obvious how good Balatro is until you see 20 different people try to make "Balatro, but" and fail every damn time.

Which sucks because I really wanted to play a "Balatro, but" but they're all so boring and broken and it breaks my heart because people clearly tried.

Yes, I do have a favorite seat. No, it's not OCD. By which I mean specifically that me having OCD and me having a favorite seat (which happens to be the same between B737 and A220) is entirely unrelated. Probably.

@eltonfc and for some verbs imperative makes no sense to me at all. Surely, when I click "rename file" the actual command is "present me with an input field to enter a new name"? I'm the one doing the renaming. The stupid piece of metal is just logging my actions to the best of its ability.

@eltonfc oh, that's an interesting question. I never really thought about it and I think it... explains some things? Do I understand correctly, the question is whether I interpret "close" as "i want (the computer) to close the file" versus "computer, close the file"? Because now I realize i've never ever talked to a computer the way people talk to chatbots and maybe that's one of the reasons it feels really weird. Well, in addition to all those other reasons. So yeah, infinitive in every case and every language for me. I'm communicating a desire for a thing to be done, not giving orders. Edit: and yeah, at least in Latvian and Russian it is and always was infinitive. Saglabāt, сохранить, etc. Never even crossed my mind it's completely ambiguous in English.

@Meyerweb frankly, I haven't seen a single layout system that comes even close to CSS in at least versatility or reliable defaults, let alone both. Even imitations like QML break apart on most trivial things.
