@th3j35t3r does the funding bar start the month including payments from those of us who have gone pro? Trying to get a gauge for how ahead/behind this place is in funding.

Oh and for reference #CoSoTech #Unix #Computing #Geekery

Console Wars... that was it. I know there's more that I'm not remembering right now.

Either way I like learning about the underbelly of computing culture, personalities, software quirks, and more that have happened during my lifetime and before.

For reference I've already read Masters of Doom, Alan Turing: The Enigma and the one about Sega vs. Nintendo in the 90's (forget the name).

I'm reading a really cool book called "You are not expected to understand this." It's a series of essays on various themes or events in the history of computing. From the first e-mail to how computing drove policing strategy that unfairly targeted minorities which continues today. I'd really recommend it. The individual essays are pretty short and digestible. Perfect for one or two before bed.

Anyone have any similar books to read when I get through this?

Corrections: serve with cinnamon stick. And when you have it in the crock pot add sugar to taste.

It should be slightly sweet and boozy enough you don’t want to drink it too quickly (if you do, go with God my brave but stupid child).

…almonds at this point. Simmer real good. Serve in mugs with cinnamon, almond slivers and/or an orange wedge.

Do like I did and practice it a bunch until you find your approach.

Pour the mixture, spices and all into a saucepan along with sugar and cut vanilla beans (the real stuff). Sugar will have to be to taste as so many other things impact the flavor. Warm but don’t simmer stirring until all the sugar is mixed in.

Pour the mixture through a filter into another pan or even a crock pot. Pour in bottle of red wine, dealers choice and mix. Add sugar to taste making sure you stir so as not to burn. Toss in some more cinnamon sticks to float. Some people add raisins or

Spice jar (24-hrs in advance):
Cinnamon sticks
Cloves
Nutmeg
Sliced ginger
Cardamom pods
Orange zest

Give everything a rough crush or slice to up the surface area. Put it into a jar with 1.5 cups of booze (whatever is your poison, I’ve done it with rums, brandy, bourbon. Some people use vodka but I find it doesn’t do much.). Allow to marinate overnight, giving it a shake from time to time.

Not smart, but bold.

Everyone here (myself included) losing their block and report virginity today.

Asshats got to try to ruin everything nice.

Bullshit call refs. That was not roughing at all. #CHIvsATL.

#BearDown

Been taking a social media break this week and it was great. Opened up Twitter briefly today to clear notifications and mute Musk (I guess being the boss means you get injected into everyone’s shit). Back to #CoSo.

I’d like to see the #CoSoMobile experience improve. About 1x/day all my localstorage settings go away and I have to force quit the app or I can’t toot. That requires me to re-enter my login info (not the end of the world. Password manager).

Also I can’t download photos.

Anyone having a better experience with just a mobile browser?

No deal breakers, just annoying.
