Ugh, someone in my neighborhood got a swasticar recently it seems. I cannot get over how stupid the cybertruck looks.

Just a tiny example of the shitstorm we are living in. My empathy for folks that voted for this is non-existant.

I'm genuinely sad that too much of the US population associates an inability to apologize, never admit mistakes, and lack of empathy as laudable traits in leaders. I want humility, not petty vengeance. I want ingenuity, not xenophobia. I want diverse perspectives, not cronyism. And ffs, no nazis

I've been a proponent of Windows 11 for a number of upgrades over W10, even if I hate it making older hardware incompatible. But the W11 24H2 update is an inexcusable mess for gamers. The first time I ever rolled back a major msft update. And after 1+month still no indication on fixes afaik.

It's hard not to watch the Nvidia keynote without seeing a dystopian slant to all of the use cases being presented. The technology is impressive, but it's how profit driven humans leverage them I worry about.

I'm not sure whether CES will be interesting this year or just a shitshow of slapping "AI" onto everything that absolutely doesn't need it.

It's been a few days since the sunsets were mindblowingly stunning, but today the skies put on a display in full force. The reflective color is even making the snowcapped peaks orange.

It's still a bit odd to think of intel as the underdog, but the Arc GPU teams are definitely. And by all accounts have delivered what looks to be a great dose of competition to the midrange market. Congrats to the team, a well earned victory lap after a long road to get here.

Really nifty soil compaction tool they have for foundation work, but incredible how the vibrations just transmit right through to my house. The novelty wore off a week ago.

No dynamic clouds for the sunset tonight, but sometimes just the smooth ombre across the mountain range is equally as soothing.

When I moved I got a nifty eufy delivery box, and have been pleasantly impressed with the portion of delivery folks that actually use it. (I always do the Amazon app compliment when they do).

Oh dear I have fallen deep into the dangers of home assistant. In 2 evenings I've got switches, hue lights, hunter douglas shades, awairs, garmin, robot vaccuums, ubiquity network/protect/doorbell all connected. Turned my echo show devices into permanent dashboard displays & am deep in automation.

It's incredibly satisfying to see that after so many years, finally @techconnectify.bsky.social found LED xmas lights that actually look right. I'm very much in the camp who finds most modern ones too harsh. youtu.be/qSFNufruSKw?...

I fear my feed here is going to just end up as sunset pictures. But like... how could it not when every day has been like this lately.

Colorado doesn't skimp on the sunrise side either. Visibility is clear all the way out past the airport silhouette on the horizon.

I am going to call this incoming administration Mump to represent the awful clusterfuck that Musk and Trump's bromance are about to unleash. Also considering the antivax brainworm feeding choice for HHS head, we can expect all sorts of fun diseases like it to crop back up.

Today's sunset... words dont do it justice. A photo hardly does either. If anyone asks why I bought my house here.... this is it.

Well lots of new people here, understandably so. But, I'd encourage you to limit your social media usage in general. Every day recently has been more absurd than the last and its going to be a very bumpy ride.

15 miles out and a spoke broke on my rear wheel. Le sigh, my poor bike.
