It's 2025 and Microsoft is still rebooting my computer to apply updates. Without my permission. Does Linux do that? Android? iOS? 🤬

I had a lot of fun with ELIZA in college. šŸ˜€ World's first chatbot, ELIZA, resurrected from 60-year-old computer code search.app/gMWnBFqszaXN...

I had one of these as my daily driver a long time ago. Still have fond memories of it. The built-in Time Manager app had features so good I cloned it for another system.

Today on Jeopardy, I learned that the title _Joshua, Son of None_ is a biblical allusion. šŸ¤”

So much this!

There's a classic hologram of the inside of a pocket watch. It's "life sized"(1:1). It's an early POC and the color and resolution aren't great. But I have always loved it. I just spent 15 minutes searching the web for it and can't find it. Any suggestions?

At least @bsky.app doesn't have the pointless, garish backgrounds and font sizing you can't control but Markdown would be a nice distinguishing feature!

Very just question .... šŸ¤” Yeah kinda funny

Library seems a reasonable focal point for a house.

It seems "pamphleteer" is an occupation that needs a comeback. šŸ˜€

You would never see, "Leaves of Grass: a Poetry Collection" or "Dangerous Visions: an Anthology" so why do publishers insist on "A Very Long Story the Author Made Up: A Novel?!" SMH

@samsungmobileus.bsky.social I’m not a fanboy but I benefit from the coordination between my Galaxy phone and tablet. When I considered a health tracking ring, I held out for the #GalaxyRing thinking there would be similar benefit but I am feeling real #RingRegret and am ready to give up on my ring.
