was about to throw out my home-theater PC, but it turns out that the reason it wouldn't POST was this motherfucking Sony TV. If I ever meet the HDMI Licensing Consortium, it's on sight.

While AI increasingly bothers me, I'll still _use_ vibe-coded software. I even farted out some of my own, which is doing stuff on my basement server. But, as much as anything, I just want to _know_ if something is vibe-coded before I give it access to -- […] [Original post on mastodon.rxbrad.com]

Trying to tie in my phone with wearing my testing glasses I'm sure this past is fine

Every time someone schedules a work meeting after 3pm, an angel gets herpes.

You want me to do stuff? Hard pass.

Our public library has been closed for the last week because they got hit by ransomware. What asshole ransomwares the library? I hope their gonads get eaten by crazed weasels.

There are people at work (IT for a large group of hospitals) who had to sign a non-disclosure agreement for whatever project they're working on. I wonder which of my two guesses is the correct one...

There are two types of people: People who think gamepads should have membrane buttons, and people who are wrong. #videogames #pcgaming #steamcontroller

The good thing about a $99 price tag on the Steam Controller is that it keeps my dumb ass (which already has 6 working PC gamepads) from instantly impulse buying it like a big dumb dummy. #steamcontroller #steam #pcgaming

A song called "Harmonica Man" where most of the music is on a piano... (bastards)

Finally realized that the Android Lemmy app I'd been using for years (Connect) was basically broken when trying to navigate comments. This led me to try Summit. Summit's good. Really good. #lemmy

Welp... that didn't work. Already had 2 bot sign-up attempts in the hour or two since I made those changes. Next attempt: block any bot user sign-ups missing a specific header, from here: https://forum.ghost.org/t/possible-spam-signup-remedy/62574 […] [Original post on mastodon.rxbrad.com]

Okay, this is getting out of hand now. And I'm not sure what to do about it. There have been fifteen attempts to create commenter accounts on my Ghost blog in the last eight hours, using fake email addresses... Guess it's time to further explore […] [Original post on mastodon.rxbrad.com]

Hey, Kids! If you have a good "acting like your feelings are hurt when you get caught doing something" game, social media will give you a pass on lots of heinous stuff. 🌠🧠

It's okay to blow your nose with the same piece of toilet paper before you wipe your butt. Wait, or is it the other way around? I _always_ mix this up...

Why do the Zoomers keep looking at me funny when I say "The Goonies" is a great movie?

Crap, I'm out of ideas for terrible garbage to post here.... Ummm... Crap. Oh! Hey! Have any of you heard of the Multiverse?

What exactly is "organic latex", podcast advertiser Avocado Mattress?

The squirrels in my backyard are _clearly_ fascists.

IYKYK. It's pronounced "icky yuck". I don't know why Internet people use it all the time. #icymi?

"People are confused about this thing that absolutely nobody is confused about at all!"

AI investing is just techbro Amway. 🔺

"Debut" is pronounced: "de butt". You're welcome.

What if we used the popular piracy filesharing platform, Usenet, as a means of communication? People could post messages back & forth. Almost like a collaborative "forum". Nah, it'd never work.

I M NOT DUM I M SMARRT

Apparently the guy at work that I just setup a home server for had over 500GB of Photos in Google Photos... All of that was relying on the "free unlimited photo storage" promise tied to a dying Google Pixel 1. I now see why he found the idea of Immich so compelling. Also, I just walked him […]

Alright, which one of you named your dog Kevin?

How does one get Frank Welker, the voice of Megatron, to narrate their daily activities?

Bubsy is my dad.

How dare you accuse me of cheating & stealing while I cheat and steal?!?! My mom once made me eat Dino Chicken Nuggets for lunch when I wanted pizza! I have lived a hard life, and you can't put these responsibilities & expectations on me! _[angry Internet noises]_

We made a comic about a detective.

I accidentally dropped a Flamin' Hot Limon Dorito into my bowl of ramen noodles. I suddenly feel like an evil genius mad scientist because they were good together.

Cat: *shows you their tummy because they trust you* You: *pets the tummy* Cat: What the fuck?! Only someone I don't trust would do that!

I feel like the install instructions for Chocolatey used to be a lot more straightforward...

When did Chicago Pope fuck his first deep-dish pizza?

I think where we went wrong was connecting all the computers together.

The gyro I ate for lunch had a hard J. I told it that's no longer acceptable in this day and age.

What is a Brad? An awesome pile of farts! But enough talk... Have at you!

What Would Kratos Do

> "the cloud is just someone else's computer. and they charge you 10x what it costs--" WE GET IT, LLM SLOPBOT!! We got it the first 10 times you reposted it... #selfhosted

"I'm a medical professional, so it's okay for me to stick these Q-Tips all the way into my ear", I say, while scooping out tiny pieces of my brain and chucking them into the bathroom trashcan.

After being totally quiet for a year or more, I've been getting lots of junk/spam attempts at account signups on my Ghost blog over the last week. Luckily only about 1-2 per day. Still annoying. #ghost #selfhosting

Oops. Someone forgot to proofread their LLM slop-post.

Got some quick tree removal service after the wannabe tornado took out that tree in my backyard. They did a good job. After they left, I went outdoors to check it out. Then I came back indoors to sit on the couch. And I immediately noticed a new water […] [Original post on mastodon.rxbrad.com]

Putting on a Shannon Elizabeth mask and spinning up an OnlyFans...

@RxBrad I'm gonna say 2. They're nasty little creatures, and you wouldn't last long against 3. 2 will probably cost you a finger.

Star Wars: Maul: Shadow Lord is actually quite good so far (2.5 episodes in). I also find it mildly entertaining that the greasy little mobster alien, Vario, is literally Mickey Mouse. #starwars

Lying in bed 15 minutes before my alarm goes off, wondering how many squirrels I could defeat at any given time in hand-to-hand combat...
