Why do people call THEMSELVES 'social media influencers', isn't that a bit like wearing a T-shirt saying "HI THERE I AM BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY ADVERTISERS AND I AM LYING TO YOU RIGHT NOW"?

How did I get from solving the day 1 challenge of #AdventOfCode using Racket to staring at the cheat sheet for #J? I blame @codesections with their #APL code.

Hey followers: Tell me about your software (or art) projects you're working on!

I'm genuinely curious.

You'd better not pout

Okay fellow Fosstodonians, a question. Do you have other interests, hobbies, passions; whatever you call it, other than FOSS and computers, etc?

For me it's food/cooking, fly fishing, and pottery. Sometimes it feels a little odd, they're all so disparate, but I really like them all.

My partner and I have almost 450 cookbooks (I know, it's a problem) & use them all. I've been fly fishing for 35 years. And pottery is something I've been interested in since university, which is 24 years ago.

I need some suggestions on how I can parse a website in PHP that has CloudFlare captcha. I normally use simplehtmldom, but that's triggering the captcha page to display. Tried curl with details set, like a user agent, and that also triggers the captcha.

Any body know what this body font is?

Trying to find a suitable solution to having both a desktop and a laptop, but wanting to have only a single cable to switch between the two to transfer peripherals, including screens 🤔

Only solution I can think of would be a docking station...but then I wouldn't be able to use the desktop graphics card...sort of :S

Any ideas?

The UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well extends into other parts of life. Having separate tools for different things means that if something breaks, your life isn't turned upside down.

However, it doesn't work well for connected devices. In that realm it leads to having a bunch of poorly-secured IoT devices which you have no real control over.

Black Friday TV purchasers: don’t forget that your new sly TV has a great picture but an operating system chock full of software built to spy on you. Use your PC or Xbox or PS4 or Apple TV or Roku or whatever to send it a video signal, but *don’t* connect the TV itself to the Internet! #privacy

did anyone use #rust 's `chunks` method to complete #AdventOfCode Day 2? Curious how you got it by the borrow checker...

Anyone know how to completely remove an android app? Significant Other wants to try app unregistered after mistakenly registering. After uninstall/reinstall app immediately logs in with old registration that we don't want. Can't find where this info remains to delete it for a completely clean restart. TIA for any clues.
