Went back to the old employer's office today, in part to catch up with people, and I met the new infra guy. Introduced myself, his eyes lit up, and he went "You're dal!! Your documentation has helped me so much".
😍 That's the nicest thing you could ever say.

@goshcharlotte @OldSchoolRS +1, dweeb very curious. I was playing last night, had read the update notes, but still mindblown when it let me back in after a minute or less.

@OldSchoolRS Good to know, thanks. Can this be copied to the status page please? https://t.co/QByyZJHszt

@ajdlinux When I lived in Nelson, I met a guy on a motorbike up in the hills who was in a real hurry because he was doing some iron butt challenge. Something nuts like the circumference of the South Island in 48 hours. Was *not* happy about the roadworks. https://t.co/nRwDwtGFYK

@OldSchoolRS Hey gang, do you know when ToA might be back? It looks like nobody's had any issues in the last ~12 hours.

[dal @dal_geek]

let's all be rational here, talk through it together and then I'm sure we'll arrive at [the opinion I currently hold]

@OldSchoolRS Removed autocast delay is just amazing. Thanks, I love you all.

@io_eol People have been driving fast cars like idiots since forever. Are you suggesting this crash was due to covid?

[dal @dal_geek]

@_max_bo_ okay, clifford

@lion_tender @AlanMCole Fascinating. When I was living in a village in Vanuatu, I was amazed by the 3-5-year-olds running around with their own machetes, which they knew how to use (much better than me) - firewood, coconuts, slashing grass. Aka infants seem to show them up!

@OldSchoolRS @Makeship Spoon some dragons like the game spooned me this? 🥺

@ajdlinux Oh hey I spent 10-20 hours recently on a problem matching this description. Good luck!

@Thinkwert One of my favourite memories of visiting FNQ was going to Bird World with my partner and walking around a bit, reading the printed guide, saying "Cassowary? In here? Seems hard to contain" and turning around to find it standing quietly about 2 metres away. Gets the pulse racing.

Needed this again to see where $EDITOR was being set. Incredibly helpful one-liner for this specific task.

[dal @dal_geek]

One-liner for "What the heck is happening with my zsh path?": `env -i zsh -lx -c 'exit' 2>&1 | vim -`. Maybe `man zshoptions` and read "STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES".
