HR system wants me to do a thing. It throws an error in my face when I try to do it, which doesn't explain anything. Helpdesk offers a call to see. "Oh, yeah, you need to put a 0 in that field, it's explained in a video on the company documentation site" Poor guy got to hear what I think about […]

Playing Terra Nil right now, and it's funny because from the promo stuff I thought I wouldn't like it much, yet I'm enjoying myself a lot. There's definitely a game design lesson to be leaned here. I was absolutely correct in my assessment that the game feels like it's actively trying to make […]

i did NOT write this whole post just to do that pun

Is this the day on which I add 4th #rss reader to the mix of those I'm actively trying out in hopes of ending up with just one? 🤔

Thank you, @inventaire, for making it possible to do open source book projects. Things like @bookwyrm would not be possible without it.

Someone mention to me somewhere a concept of blog (I think?) that is by default private, and you need to give explicit permission for others to access, with everyone getting a unique link. There may have been encryption involved? Anyone know what I'm talking about? #askfedi #privacy

Things are fucked up and bullshit, but I planted a bunch of fruit plants today and w/in minutes of putting the strawberries in there were two bees reporting for duty.

If you run a peertube instance and have not patched in the past 4 hours, you are way behind and likely have been compromised. The latest patch will help clean up the mess.

Once I captured a carpenter ant in cupped hands and she tried to get out by biting at the crack near my thumb. When I let her go she at first ran away, but then, as if thinking better of it turned around, ran back and bit my hand one one more time THEN she ran.

"For years, creatives have been told the same thing: put everything online, post constantly, build a brand, grow an audience. And then we centralized all of culture onto, like… three websites. Three massive platforms where artists uploaded their personalities, faces, voices, writing, humor […]

Meh, apparently the CO2 sensor I took to check out situation at the swimming pool is not calibrated properly, so the readings are not that useful and will need to be taken again. But, comparing to another, they weren't that high, so maybe going there to actually swim might be an option 🤔

While out walking yesterday, I happened across a haunted gothic birdhouse.

I guess I should also look at #shiori and #wallabag 🤔

I guess I'll look at some more, but so far I seem to prefer #readeck over #linkwarden #readitlater #selfhosted #selfhosting

Chinese researchers sprayed cyanobacteria onto desert sand and turned it into stable soil in just 10 months. Cyanobacteria oozes sticky sugars that glue loose grains of sand into a crust that’s tough enough to cut wind erosion and trap water — and then those bacteria photosynthesize, leaving […]

The maddening thing about current Gender Discourse is that motherfuckers really will say "There's a male loneliness crisis" while listening to podcasters who tell you to treat all women as objects and all men as rivals. You've just eliminated roughly 100% of the human population from the […]

How do you deal with #biking when air quality is bad, versus hydration? Simple answer is "wear a mask", but then instead of sipping from bottle as you ride, you need to stop, take everything off (possibly including helmet), then gear back up before continuing. "Don't bother with a mask" is also […]
