I can't believe my pre-vacation drive prep now includes line items like "update car firmware". #worstTimeline

Less than two hours in and frankly, April's Fools Day can already go straight to hell.

I laughed. ^_^ (But I also like fact-checking by mainstream sources! :) )

Lmao 🀣 savages

Sigh. My inexpensive pocket digital multi-meter needs new batteries. It would be cheaper to buy a new multi-meter of the same make/model and transfer the batteries then it would be to buy new batteries. This truly is the worst timeline.

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

Ah good, just about time Discord went to complete shit and alienated their entire user base in order to maximize profits before going public. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Pretty light on the details, and the details will be pretty darn important (duh), but an exciting and interesting move never the less. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvi5... #soccer #prorel #usl

Amazon will collect all your voice recordings starting March 28th. Local processing is being removed. Do you really want an Amazon employee in your house? Replace your Alexa.

Yikes! but also, Yay? www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t... TBH - not sure how to feel about this. I would love more of the feelings I felt from seasons 1-3. This series is pure happy-brain chemicals. But the show ended. And it nailed its ending.

when you're doing really good at being normal in a conversation and then the edible hits

Slowly shifting from Firefox to LibreWolf. Most interesting so far: LW's anti-fingerprinting. Masks some info that FF wasn't. Hasn't broken anything, but a few things don't work quite the same. #librewolf #privacy

Still super impressed with the Raspberry Pi 5. Not just as a media server platform but in general as an ultra-small factor computer. Nothing really interesting to add here TBH, just that it's really damn capable, I'm enjoying it, and really looking forward to exploring more opportunities with it.

I love Firefox, but I'm finding the Mozilla organization to be harder and harder to support. Might be time to serious consider migration to LibreWolf, hassle though it might be.

Started the morning with a meeting invite that appears to be 99% likely to result in me being laid off. So how's your Monday? :)

Moved my Plex server to a Raspberry Pi 5 a few weeks ago. Generally speaking, it's working very well. The Pi 5 is a very capable device. Pros: Whisper quiet, V.low power need, TINY fits anywhere. Cons: Slow to upload to, limited internal disk space

Difference Between Companies I Like versus Do Not Like: I place an order and you.... (LIKE) Process and ship it within 24 hrs (DISLIKE) Sit on the order, after taking my money, for several days with no action

Not even sure we're renting. You see, renters have some actual rights. This kind of arrangement is less about owning/renting and more like "fraud" or "out right abuse of the user". (not that I have some strong feelings about this kind of thing.) V.good article though, if you want to save your stuff

I feel recognized.

Hard for me to worship Shai Hulud as a god when he can be fooled by walking a bit silly

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Buying sharp cheddar when extra sharp cheddar costs the same? Buddy, that’s just leaving sharpness on the table.

This was a heckuva' day. - Had a new water heater installed - "enjoyed" a pipe failure that cut water to the area for several hours - Went to the eye doctor. Got charged an arm & leg thanks to shit insurance and everything-is-more-expensive

Important note for my fellow programmers: "microseconds" and "milliseconds" are, apparently, two different things. πŸ™ƒ

Is it really a game these days if I don't have at least one walk-me-through-this-hard-encounter video open, along with a dozen wiki pages, and a text file with 300+ lines of notes to myself about the game?

I don't know who here needs to hear this: But in my opinion, your DNA is a national frickin' treasure. Get used to it.

I hate when you have like ~8 minutes between *NOW* and when you have to leave. No point in leaving early, but not enough time to really do anything.

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

I think...yes, I think tonight calls for one of those giant burritos the size of a small child.
