Much more people are creating Mastodon accounts now than I ever expected. I created one at Fosstodon. (Not sure if I’ll stick with it, let’s see how well it works.)

In the past few weeks, many websites started crashing in Chromium, with some datetime / time zone related error in the console, and the page completely blank. All of them use react.
So far I don’t think I would ever use it for a serious application, but I wouldn’t use C for that either (any more, now that Rust exists). But I think I can kind of see the appeal of Go, it is fun to play around without any abstractions sometimes.
For AoC I’m finally making a serious attempt at writing Go. Impression after two days: it feels low-level, closer to C than to Rust or Python. Maybe it’s the obscure names like atoi and bare bones printf, maybe the need for checking return codes.
I still truly do not understand how something that is so obviously a bad idea (template yaml) with such an obvious correct alternative (generate json) managed to become so popular.
I hope that the hype around ChatGPT, and how easy it is to make it say things that its authors have actively tried to prevent it from saying, will create some more awareness about AI alignment.

SSDs are affordable enough now that I can fit my entire music collection on one. All those disk seek optimisations and loading animations I put in Musium are instantly obsolete!
Huh, my file browser looks completely different and the border radius is up to 11 now ... oh right, I installed updates, and it’s been a quarter since Gnome’s last design overhaul 🤦
For a moment, I thought that this bug that I reported 13 years ago on Launchpad, in a piece of software that I don’t even remember, was just fixed ... but it’s only that the bug tracker got migrated to GitHub, and a bot posted a link to the new location.
