I think the windows emoji picker has ascii emojis but yeah it’s missing from the others. If it’s only a couple you can add them to a shortcut or pin them on your clipboard.

I read the first book of Tu Rostro Mañana (your face tomorrow) in 2021 I think. It was great but very dense (at some point I counted 10 pages on my phone without a full stop). The second book is supposed to be even worse about this but has better reviews overall. Still trying to find the best time to start it.

Not really to the point where my handwriting is shit because I haven’t written anything substantial for the past 5(?) years. But paper is still the best for drawing schemas/associations. And normal drawings of course, I carry a small notebook for that.

Seems like the natural progression of things

You know, if copilot also joins morning meetings for you while you sleep, that’s a deal I’m willing to make

Teams dying doesn’t sound too bad either. Just hoping the next iteration isn’t even worse

To get a better idea of the scale of this, the people over at r/greece have made a map of the Athens protest. 150.000 people is a big understatement.

These tech images are getting pretty ridiculous. What even is this thumbnail?

This is simultaneously adorable and terrifying

Funnily enough in Mexico it’s still called Gulf of Mexico, no brackets or anything. I’m wondering if that’s the only place where it didn’t change.

Huh true, I’ll have to check again see if it works with the usual programs (it probably does)

No macro keyboard but I have a programmable mouse with 12 buttons which I assume is similar. You can have different modes with different key bindings so I made 4 modes = 48 buttons.

I don’t have that many macros though, it’s mostly control keys that are used a lot, arrow keys etc. For coding I have some bindings with ctrl-C, ctrl-V, ctrl-Z, ctrl-/ which work in most editors. Something that’s a bit more interesting, I have a button that places the word “exit” in the clipboard, so you can then press the ctrl-V button to paste the word in a terminal, cause a lot of processes (like the ruby console) can’t be closed with ctrl-C.

Started reading Rayuela (Hopscotch) by Julio Cortázar. I had underestimated it (or overestimated my Spanish). A large part seems to be a stream of consciousness that is pretty hard to focus on but moving between chapters in different parts of the book actually helps a bit.

Anything by Jeff Vandermeer. Maybe Margaret Atwood too but I’ve only read Oryx and Crake (which was great but not sure how much it fits here). Tender is the Flesh is really good and pretty dark. Blindness by José Saramago. If you’re looking for something really weird then House of Leaves (but warning, it’s not exactly a normal story and you should get the physical book).

I believe you also can’t see their newer content. I’m still subscribed to a community in hexbear from before my server blocked it but the last post I can see in it is from before the block.

Or they knew exactly what they were doing. There’s even a crease on the clothes

Yeah you got a point, I’m glad you brought these things up as they should be more visible

I tried to keep a positive note, after all it is progress even if the whole project wasn’t exactly a success. I didn’t know about the unfinished tests, that’s pretty concerning given our track record with trains. You actually still can’t pay with a card or buy reduced tickets but at least the machines give change now. The short line is not so much a problem as long as each extension doesn’t take another decade. Pretty much spot on on everything else and I’d like to add two more small issues.

• Thessaloniki is terrible with parking and there was zero regard for parking spaces around the stations, adding extra load to these areas
• I don’t know if this will be better maintained but the Athens metro has way too many elevators and escalators constantly out of order. The stations here rely too much on escalators and it will be a pain going two levels down when half of them are not working. There’s also no phone coverage but maybe that’s fixable.

Stopping here before this turns into a rant :p

PS thanks for the link, somehow I hadn’t come across that community.

Thank you!

(Very short description) it’s a detective novel about a serial killer who builds snowmen in the yards of their victims. I don’t usually read detective novels but Jo Nesbø is nice and this seemed interesting.

I’m halfway through Snømannen (the snowman) by Jo Nesbø. It’s been interesting so far but kinda slow. I’m doing a personal challenge and this is the last book so I’m really hoping to finish it by the end of December.
