I really do not have high hopes for this country and November is fast approaching.

Not really seeing the point or purpose of trying to line up a good/positive future. Doesn't seem like a great use of time or energy for my generation.

Definitely open to some feedback on this, but I’ve gotten a new package for @nunomaduro's framework to a useable state so I figured I'd share:

github.com/hskrasek/laravel-ze

While the name might be unimaginative, it does exactly what it says on the tin: Allows you to create CLI applications that authenticate and interact with an OAuth2 protected API. It's very similar to what you experience with the AWS CLI when you execute `aws sso login`.

Let me know what y'all think.

Double checking my understanding of . It should be possible to do a “login with ActivityPub” experience right? Versus needing to do buttons for mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, etc.

I know my humor is somewhat childish at times, but the best (to my knowledge) CLI library for Rust being called Clap makes me giggle.

Making a new CLI tool? Time to reach for the Clap

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Hope the governor vetoes it, but the Republicans have enough power in the senate to just override this.

It will be abused against BIPOC; it will barely be enforced against whites. If I’m wrong, I’ll be pleasantly amazed, but I don’t believe I am.

While I can’t exclude the cost from my mind as the family member who closed out the bar tab at the hotel, I also can’t exclude the interesting and fascinating conversations with a local couple tonight. Or at least primarily the dude, Mario, and his contributions (I think me and his girlfriend, partner, whatever were more aligned at times) to the conversation. Admittedly a lot of it was him giving me shit for driving an electric car, especially with the intention of helping the planet.

But the conversation did eventually turn to religion, or faith in general as id classify it. I didn’t like Mario’s immediate dismissal of my appreciation of the church of satan for calling out political bullshit in the United States, it was still such a fascinating experience and conversation with someone, exploring our different view points, and where they aligned.

Honestly, while I didn’t get a chance to, I almost told this compete stranger what I’ve never told anyone before: my personal beliefs. I’ve shared countless times my simultaneous disdain for organized religion based off of history, but my appreciation and understanding of everyone’s individual beliefs. I’m personally a man of science, but I believe science requires a modicum of faith. Be it religious or otherwise, the faith in a hypothesis is just as powerful as the faith in a higher power.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever share my personal beliefs. I know by definition I’m skirting the line between agnostic and atheist, but I honestly don’t have the knowledge to know it what I currently believe in aligns with an organized religion.

Hell, there are so many tribes and subsets of our species that are unconnected that I don’t think we’d ever know.

I just know that, at the end of the day, if you need the promise of a better afterlife to be a good person, that you’re probably a shitty person in disguise. You should be a good person, a better person, because it is the right thing to do for your fellow man/woman. Regardless of religious, political, geographical, or otherwise.

Maybe I’m naive in believing this. Maybe it comes with my young age. But fuck even a small part of my belief thinks this is the overarching goal of our species

I present to you the most expensive drink I’ve ever seen on a bar menu, and a whopping $690. It’s basically “jungle juice” but for rich people

is driving me crazy. I have the following code:

if let Some(is_root) = tag.is_root {
if is_root != 1 {
println!("Skipping non-root tag: {}", tag.title.clone().unwrap_or_default());
continue;
}
// …
}

The code says skipping a non-root tag... and then still does the logic that is supposed to be skipped. I don't get it.

I am in Florida… and thankfully about to leave because it’s just a layover.

10 years ago today I graduated college. Damn

I’ve been using Homebrew since what feels like forever. I can’t be the only one who still gets brew update and brew upgrade mixed up all the time, right?

I’m pretty sure I’ve managed to catch a wombo combo of some mega cold triggered by allergies, combined with a stomach bug (or food poisoning, hard to tell the difference).

My body is full of yuck and sadness and more yuck

I own the domains neighbors.social and neighbrs.social, but have yet to figure out what to do with them. I think I was originally thinking of some sort of Fediverse type thing, but now I just have no clue.

Taking suggestions if you got any, no promises I'll actually be able to follow through with them though

I’m not sure it’s possible, but I want to cram this into a runnable Docker container. Fuck it, why not?

I feel like managing data and knowledge in an organization is near impossible. Between Excel, Database data, Tableau, Confluence or <insert wiki here> it’s just a nightmare of duplicated data that’s instantaneously out of the data upon duplication.

I’m surprised there isn’t some sort of solution to hook all the different data sources and use them. But something tells me that’s gonna be the XKCD 14 to 15 standards comic.

There are times, like tonight, where I feel as if I was born into the wrong time. I don’t mean the past, that place fucking sucked. Just, further in the future.

Being alone isn’t that bad, it’s when I feel safest. But learning the difference between alone and lonely over the last couple years hasn’t been the most enjoyable

I’m not sure if it’s the right move, but unless I know someone and their orientation I’ve started referring to everyone as they/them.

It feels like I’m being lazy or something at times, but it’s the approach that makes sense to avoid unintentionally misgendering someone. Once I know you and what you prefer I use those, but otherwise it seems like the best approach? I don’t know.

Now if I could train sir and ma’am out of my vocabulary that’d help

I feel like I need to be or was supposed to be or something productive today. That feeling is making relaxing and decompressing not easy. I wish I could figure out what’s gnawing at the back of my mind

The Republican Party has “radicalized” me to the point where I’ve debated and started thinking of ways, even if illegal and through the dark web to start stockpiling abortion medication so that women can actually have their bodily autonomy.

Not sure if that’s their intentions, as the so called party of “law and order.” But it’s where I’m at.

I really need to find the “auntie networks” as my friend calls them in Texas. They’ll know what to do with my money.

Twitter used to be a good place to find those resources, and then an actual psychopath happened to the service.

That and unfortunately in this country cops deliberately target those that share such information, and judges will side with them 24/7/365.

Ya know, like a totally well structured and totally not shit society
