@GossiTheDog a requirement for whoever does this to have to live-stream their glued-on smartglasses 24x7 for 30 days (first offence) to life (3rd offence) while wearing a dayglo yellow "idiot filming his life: <qrcode>" when in public would seem proportionate.
you want invasion of privacy via smartglasses? gotcha. but everything. no choice.
dump time? online.
driving like a muppet? online.
trip to the std clinic? online.
trying to pull on a night out? online and hilarious.
It’s ridiculously easy to disable the filming LED on smart glasses. Also, men are jerks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr7jej2elyyo
Here #curl is again showing the way in Open Source, this time with vulnerability management. Per their well-known/security.txt:
#TIL that if you have a preferred low-level build tool to use with cmake (e.g. I like ninja in preference to make), you can set CMAKE_GENERATOR in the environment to make it the default for you.
How have I been using cmake for this many years and not found that out?
As soon as I made the step from "it's really annoying having to say -G Ninja every time" to "I wish there was a way I could change the default, like maybe an environment variable", it took me 2 minutes to check and find out there already was one. But somehow it's taken me ten years to make that leap of thought. I feel silly!
But I suppose at least I didn't start trying to write a patch _adding_ one, and find the existing one in the code location I was modifying. That would have been more embarrassing.

End of my 3rd week on #Mastodon
I've not experienced social media like this before. People seeing my posts? And replying? Madness! And no robot deciding that my #cats won’t infuriate anyone and so hiding them?
The people here have been super nice too. Sharing their own cats, giving me helpful tips, and replying with positivity. You're a real likeable bunch of weirdos
So I'll probably stick around, if that's okay….?
Here's another picture of Max sleeping... OR IS HE?
@anon_opin "what's got two cheeks and a look of despair?"

Is it time for bed?
Aye, time for bed.
Sleep well when night reaches you.

not usb-c but takes 100-240v mains via mickeymouse cable which can be locally sourced for under a tenner for shortie lengths, and it's listed at £19 on Amazon so within budget too
not perfect, but hopefully near enough
@35millimetre Death Metal Pikachu time?
Start your morning by drawing a horse & watching it run https://gradient.horse
