  • Great @coreint, @manton and @danielpunkass. Thanks.

    So many people equivocate re Apple:

    e.g. “They deserve to make something for building dev tools.”

    … and it just strikes me as a bullshit argument.

    That’s their cost of doing business. They do make money from it. They sell squillions of devices.

  • My in-laws were asking about the yellow buoys we can see out from the beach where we’re staying, which reminded me of a shark net explainer I drew a few years ago…

  • “A cat riding a pig”

    A tabby cat dressed in a blue t-shirt and brown overalls rides a motorbike through the desserted streets of a post apocalytic town. It might be roughly the 1930s or 40s.

  • Some friends and I were having a laugh trying to generate images. This was supposed to be one of them in the gutter with a parrot on his shoulder.

    It’s just great.

  • I’ve been checking out Pijul, an interesting approach to version control. I really like it. At this stage it has limited tooling and I missed git-prompt.zsh, so I forked it and made pijul-prompt.zsh. Now things feel a little more like home.

  • The end of a great week of GUE DPV Cave training in Ginnie Springs with Kirill and my teammate Bori. The most fun class I’ve taken in ages.

  • An update, I have one “Ginnie Finger” today. Limestone is grindy. 😬

    We made it to 3700 feet in the Heinkel section of Devil’s in Ginnie today. I think the hardest part was dealing with a bouquet of empty stages and multiple scooters in the Eye for deco.

    One day to go… we dropped everything before the Heinkel and swam through today, but tomorrow we’re taking scooters through.

  • While I don’t have “Ginnie Fingers”… after a week of diving in High Springs I can no longer use Touch ID to unlock my Mac. 🫵😬

  • It’s a bloody long way from Brisbane to High Springs.

  • On October 14 we are being asked to vote on one simple thing

    Should the following amendment be made to the Australian Constitution:

    Chapter IX Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples

    129 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice

    In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia:

    i. there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;

    ii. the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;

    iii. the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.

    The question on the referendum is simply:

    A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

    Do you approve this proposed alteration?

    Whatever else you’ve seen, heard, or believe, the only things that matter are the amendment and question above.
