https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10/14/a-hack-is-not-enough/ this article makes a sadly excellent point in response to you here. Fair warning: it’s long. But even if you dip out early I assume you’ll get the point being made

I had issues yesterday getting an aur package of scratchjr as a desktop electron app from 2021 running on my daughter’s laptop. Worked fine when I tested it on mine, so not sure what the issue is there. Means she can only use it on the website with an internet connection for now, which is not the ideal flow from my perspective.

Other than that, pretty great, no notes.

Edit: I was missing the libxss dependency. A fact that was immediately obvious from journalctl. Working now.

We let people use chatbots in our technical interview and don’t even mark down for it, since they’re a tool that exists.

I have yet to see a candidate who uses chatbots be anywhere near as good at producing good solutions quickly as the ones who don’t.

Same way we always have - trust. Reputation has always been a thing, there was a brief window where photographic or video evidemce was enough but it didn’t last all that long and tbh it’s always had its flaws.

Yeah tbh I just thought the --json option was pretty neat - I hadn’t known about it until fairly recently

... -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'? No. Why would you do that when you can just do ... --json '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'. Yeah curl is awesome.

A website set up by an unknown Dane

The website, called Fight Chat Control, was set up by Joachim, a 30-year-old software engineer living in Aalborg, Denmark.

Does anyone fucking proof-read anything any more? Or does unknown just mean ‘not famous’ these days? FML.

Y’all’d’ve upset some teachers there

How many women have been to the moon though?

I strongly suspect peak Aristotle would fucking wreck me but when he’s old and rotten? Yeah I reckon I have a chance

Yeah but imagine if he were personally a jerk to you

I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It’s awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn’t really make sense

Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don’t reflect this

Babel fish, you say?

But actually I intended to indicate something more here… Almost all of these will have spoken English and it’s a bit slanted y’know? I’d take Aristotle lol

I don’t speak medieval Italian so sadly he’s off my list

Simply define it as i = e^(iπ/2) 🤣

I would also drop this dude, because he’s pretty fly (for a white guy); https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Holland

Yeah ok not an educator or a particularly famous name in the sphere, but a PhD don’t come for free

Once your computer’s working to your satisfaction, pretty much all you’ll need to do is alias sudo packman -Syu and try to remember to run that every so often. The arch Linux wiki is second to none, and if you stick with the distro you should find it all feels very familiar in no time.
