So apparently it's been 3 days since Google disabled UBlock Origin in Chrome, and that's how long it took for my mom to get scammed into installing some suspicious "Wave Browser" application as her new default browser. Thanks Google. 😝 Time to get her using Firefox... 🔥🦊

I imagined how goofy the shoulders would end up looking, giggled, then immediately drew it because I needed to see it made real

Found a Bandai Gashapon store at Toronto Union Station. I got this frog. It was a little bit expensive but also a very well made toy. Multi jointed poseable legs, and mouth too! 🐸🎊

A very good video from Technology Connections on a subject dear to me: Take control of what information you see every day. Cultivate it like a garden. Feeds suggested by a corporate algorithm are weeds that need to be kept at bay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

I really appreciate these albums published by @strudelsoft.bsky.social meant to be encoded at extremely low bitrates, so that a whole album fits on a floppy disk. Kind of an early www throwback sound, but in a very deliberate manner. strudelsoft.bandcamp.com/album/chaos-...

"They're right in front of you, and can open very large doors." A short tune I wrote 10 years ago. It's hazy and meandering, what harmony exists seems only there to serve its ephemeral melodies. Is someone knocking? Should we let them in? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOne...

Disappointed to discover that while James Doohan and Patrick McGoohan both appeared on a 1950s TV series called Folio, they did not ever share the same episode.

"I'd like to cancel my mobile phone service at the end of the current billing period." After a lengthy exit-bargaining process with the agent, they ask if they can put me on hold... The call disconnects because they just immediately cancelled my service during the call!!! 😖

I always forget that cp doesn't copy the date modified timestamp by default, unlike almost every other file copy routine. You gotta add -p to keep them. Doing archive maintenance today I realized I accidentally made my computer forget how old many thousands of my files are. :'(

Are the unsolicited AI results at the top of searches/etc... an automated gossip machine? Like... it's made to repeat stuff it overheard, regardless of its veracity. Is this more or less the definition of gossip?

kayin.moe/quality-of-l... Wrote a bit about some issues I have with out the term Quality-of-Life gets thrown around. Not that I'm against it's use, but I think there are some assumptions we make about QoL changes that aren't true. 🗨️ replies will appear as comments under the post!

A lot of folks think of indie games* started in the late '90s thanks to the internet, but they actually started in the '70s. Devs would copy their games to disks and sell them in baggies to hobby shops, or direct by mail via magazine ads. (*The term "indie games" might indirectly be GDC's fault.)

So, the Android YouTube app won't play in the background, demanding you pay for YouTube Premium to get it... but you can just go to that page in Firefox, where Firefox will just let you do it anyway via the notifications control. 🔥🦊
