I must admit this. After spending a few days playing with and configuring my new Mac mini, including setting up the development environment, I’m starting to grow more excited about it. I used to have Mac laptops for more than a decade, but never got to explore the OS nearly as much as I just […]

Stupid me. I had my new mac Mini connected to my monitor with both Thunderbolt / USB-C and Thunderbolt / DisplayPort. The former is for utilizing the built-in USB ports on the monitor, and I didn't realize that it also provided audio and video to the monitor. The DP cable removed... 😅 #macMini […]

One thing I wish I was able to do with #iTerm2 is to configure the HotKey Window to slide down from the top right (or top left) rather than the middle. Yakuake lets you do that. I don't like my terminal to sit in the middle of my screen. A workaround is to use the "right of screen" style, and […]

Trump’s USDOT orders hold on funding for ‘bicycle infrastructure,’ including shared-use paths A friend described this perfectly when he said: > Bikes don't make billionaires richer. If it doesn't increase the wealth of the wealthy, then it's obviously " woke" and it's patriotic to destroy it […]

Today is a "pi day," but I always remember March 14 as the "White Day," when men send gifts to their loved ones in return for the favour they received on St Valentines Day. Then love turns to violence on the following day, the Ides of March. 😅

I've yet to see any allegation that Khalil committed a crime. Or that he ever publicly expressed support for Hamas (which would still not be a crime). This piece suggests he didn't even participate in the encampment -- only that he mediated between the protesters and Columbia.

This also means that there _are_ Republicans who are willing to listen to a Democratic congressperson and make a voting decision based on what they hear, rather than blindly follow the party line. It gives me a ray of hope. #USpol

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.
