myki-angelo :3

on the wall of a tram stop, a drawing captioned “artwork by our young myki-angelo Lenka, aged 11”. the picture was taken while seated inside a tram, so it’s a bit blurry due to digital zooming, and the reflection of a myki machine is visible

hmm 🤔, i *do* post alt text, and uh,, wh.. where’s my reflection?!

mirror reflection of uh,, an iphone suspended in midair!? as i’d imagine one would look like, in a vampire selfie

the background looks a bit motion-blurry, but let’s disregard that ehehehehe

ravindT~T@ravind· 15d

ohkay here we go again,,

silly tabby cat wearing a grey tie, which a speech bubble that reads "hope i don't have a long week". in the background, slightly blurry, is the long week factory

smol < eeny? eeny < smol? unsure

me, on discord:

aw man the nice hoodies et cetera shop doesn’t have xxs

i’ll have to go for the smol (xs) instead of the eeny (xxs)

i understand hoodies can be worn a bit loose

need, 1) custom emojis for the windows 11 emoji picker 2) a web api with which websites can add custom emojis (and manage them) to the emoji picker (scoped to the browsing session) that'd be so cool :catpog:

windows 11 emoji picker with the search term "catthink" which shows no results because it's a discord emoji, not an emoji emoji

myki boot sequence? 👀

myki machine on a bus. the screen says it’s “loading parameters”, at 27% with an indeterminate spinny indicator, loading a “.BIN” file

same myki machine, after what i assume was the boot sequence, now says “out of service”

also microsoft 🤭:

visual studio feature request to honour editorconfig rules (specifically, indent_style and indent_size if spaces) when saving a .sln file as an .slnx. the feedback bot said "we will do some preliminary checks to make sure we can proceed; you will hear from us in about a week" on the 17th of july last year. there has been no activity since then.

the team probably hasn't triaged/reviewed this issue yet.

a pigeon in coles 👀 doing their shopping for the week (omg same), thinking of buying the jasmine rice?? 🍚 don’t forget your FLYBUYS ahahahaha

a pid on the side of a ptv bus reads “you are loved”. the letter “o” in “loved” is a heart, so more like “l❤️ved”.

having been taken through a tram window as it started moving, the picture is a little blurry, and some faint reflections of the can be seen overlaid on the subject

ravindT~T@ravind· May 22

ahahahaha the "read more" link next to the newsletter checkbox on the miele australia checkout page shows a modal which reads "some really long text", when clicked 😆

ravindT~T@ravind· May 18

wouldn’t wear this sick privacy invading rubbish if you paid me 🤢 ugh

email from jbhifi that reads “prices smashed on meta ai glasses; shop ray ban & oakley, powered by meta”

hmm 🤔 i wonder where this business is located..

cloudless light blue sky; and along the bottom, the roof of a building with a sign (probably the name of the business) that reads “LEIGHOAK”

assembling everything again 😫. did the important bit (THE BED) first, and now the desk too

point of view of me lying down on the floor underneath, looking up towards, and gesturing a thumbs up at the standing desk. the desk looks bigger than you’d would expect because i used the .5x zoom lens to snap this photo

ravindT~T@ravind· May 7

phew, dropped the commuter off (with the panniers loaded with as much as i could comfortably carry ehehehehe 😄), then measured & modelled the new place 💅 sadly, i didn't get to disassemble anything yet. it's going to be a long night 😩

my commuter bike leaning against a wall. 2 pannier bags are mounted on its rear pannier rack, and they're full of stuff judging by their shape (the contents aren't visible)

laptop running sketchup in microsoft edge. inside sketchup, a 3d model is being designed, with some millimetres-measurements visible on screen

ravindT~T@ravind· May 5

oh! 👀 there they are, they’re there.

computer display boxes underneath my desk, with the displays packed in

ravindT~T@ravind· May 5

hmmm 🤔 something’s missing

desk-attached computer display mounts, with no displays. hdmi and power cables routed along them are visible, hanging off the ends close to the vesa interface

the duck bag :3 is coming with! i mean.. of course it is, i wouldn’t leave it behind it deserves its own mention whenever possible though, on account of how adorable it is 😭

smol tote bag with a picture of a duck on it, and two yellow little duck feet hanging off the bottom :3. it’s sitting in a suitcase on top of other clothes, folded & packed to be moved

the unsolicited passkey prompts that some websites do are the worst! >.< and they're usually termed "remember your account on this device?" or along those lines from what i recall, which is confusing, because the "remember me" is historically something different

windows "save your passkey" prompt saying "<email> passkey for <website> ; this will be saved to your windows device" with the options "continue" (default) and "cancel". my mouse hovers over "cancel"

hi @microsoft.com, "turn off copilot" should mean TURN IT THE FUCK OFF AND SHUT UP ABOUT IT, not silently enable it every couple days and still receive promotional content i've disabled it several times this week alone, via outlook web & mobile; still, they keep enabling this rubbish.. 😠

the outlook.com copilot preferences page, with the "turn on copilot" switch set to "off" (followed by then pressing "save")

outlook dialog that reads "new themes by copilot" "add some zing to your mailbox with the new copilot themes. choose from destinations, the weather, or make your own" with the options "custom theme" (primary) and "not interested".

some text overlaid crudely in ms paint: "zing" stricken through and replaced with "slop"; and above it, the text: "why the fuck would i want copilot to generate an outlook theme!? pay an artist, you assholes 🖕"

diff of c# code in which a conditional expression of the form "arr.Count is 1 ? arr[1] as object : arr" is fixed by selecting arr[0] instead, because c# arrays are 0-indexed

is the algorithm doing its job? yes has this video been recommended too many times? no (impossible)

screenshot of the youtube app on ios, with a thumbnail of a video.

the thumbnail shows two baby rabbits :3 eating cabbage, and the video is titled “if the algorithm is doing its job, everyone should be seeing this bab…” (the rest of text is clipped out of view).

below the thumbnail is a question: “has this video been recommended too many times?” and two buttons, “yes” and “no” (which i’m pressing)

that's end-inclusive from what i'm reading? 🤔 in pwsh, that'd be, Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum (999999999 + 1) -Count 100000 the output encoding defaults to windows-1252 😬 and should be manually set to utf-8 [System.Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]::new()

$flowers.jq running on pwsh on windows terminal on windows 11. the terminal session goes, PS> [System.Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]::new() PS> Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum (999999999 + 1) -Count 100000 | jq -nf .\flowers.jq -r --argjson frame 40 followed by the prettiest program output i've ever seen in my terminal, a field of randomly generated flowers made of the 🌸🌺🌼 emojis$

apple music has an annoying habit of randomly pausing playback because i'm supposedly trying to play on >1 device at once? ...except, i'm not! i *do* however, have apple music open in firefox on my laptop. i suspect this "session"/some web app activity is misinterpreted as a playback attempt? 😬

screenshot of apple music on an iphone. playback (of the song living in twilight by the weepies) is paused, and a dialog is shown with the text "more than 1 device is trying to play music. with a family plan, up to 5 other people can stream their music at once" presenting the options "upgrade" and "not now"
