@aklnthndr Nah, the worst kind is when you've never been able to read them. Wonder if anyone's described them all somewhere?

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr Could you perhaps find a C# bincode [de]serializer or something?

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr Indeed, it's almost certainly a horrible hack that should really be removed, because I am 99.99% sure that in every case, the parsing will be done wrong, and will break when a command's output changes some day.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr And OS devs / systems programmers.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr Of course, the likelyhood that this is caused by me just knowing more technologically inclined people is pretty high.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr As yet another Michael, I second this. What's crazy is that in my life at least, there is a very strong correlation between being called Michael and working in technology, or some form of engineering. Join the Nerds Called Michael club :p

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr I would say "Who the fuck would think that would work," but at this point I lost all hope 5 years ago.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr No, you're just using software that actually respects its users.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

@aklnthndr Imagine the amount of collective CPU cycles we could save not having to deal with this nonsense. Or the collective amount of hours of time saved by the programmers of libstd.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

Seriously, to all my Twitter followers, JOIN THE #FEDIVERSE! Forget all the complicated decentralised nonsense, it's just a *better* social network, with (arguably) better people, and there's some great conversations to be had, especially if you're into tech, foss, Linux, etc.

Net News Wire also supports #TwitterFeeds, so I can get @aklnthndr 's musings directly into the app I read stuff in most lol.

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

Just setting up #NetNewsWire, a brilliant #RSS feed reader for iOS and macOS, on my new #M1 #MacBookPro. It's a great app (very #accessible), that you should definitely check out. Oh, and did I mention it's open-source? https://t.co/aCmDAd8v13

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

Working on some recent projects, I've been thinking about #NotInventedHereSyndrome. I've never really been affected by it, after all, it's easier for me to just bolt someone else's code together. However, do you think it looks better to… https://t.co/4Aa5jJprBd

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

Does anyone know if there's an up-to-date program to generate #Rust #bindings to #GObjectIntrospection files? Nothing important really, I'm just messing around, trying to use #at-spi (one of #Gnome's accessibility libraries) from Rust. I could just… https://t.co/ozfvxJavIq

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

Is there a name for 1000 #Toots? Maybe a gaggle?

[Blind Computing @blind_comp]

I wish you could create lists of hash-tags as well as accounts on #Mastodon. It's been a long time since I looked, but I'm pretty sure #ActivityStreams would support that, given how flexible it is, and being able to combine lots of related topics into… https://t.co/Mzx2rmuoZX
