First look at the new #amtrak Airo trains that are going to enter service along the Cascades line! These look like a massive improvement https://youtu.be/oHzEXAmyd84

If anyone needs to cool off for a moment, here's a beautiful clip of the 2 line in #seattle crossing i90 First in the world train on a floating bridge. Just two months till it opens to passengers! https://youtu.be/apvhkJdwOmg

Hi @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social I'd like to respectfully ask that you not support HB 2321 which requires 3D printers to refuse to print files that match those in a government database. I understand this is for combating 3D printed guns which is a goal […] [Original post on mastodo.neoliber.al]

2025 mood continuing in 2026.

I hope this doesn't come across as too judgemental, but I'm constantly baffled by the music that restaurants choose to play. I just had some of the best sushi of my life listening to "Like A G6". Why are we playing the underage drinking anthem of 2010 at 3PM at a place that is decorated with […]

#mastoadmin for those of you in the US do you have any thoughts on how a potential loss of Section 230 immunity would impact you? I'm worried about the increased liability risk #section230

It's official- the 2 Line's Cross-Lake Connection to Bellevue opens on March 28th! :series2lrv_6: #Linklightrail #Soundtransit #2line #Seattle #crosslakeconnection #Publictransit

#seattle has some very interesting street stickers

#uspol if anyone over the age of 24 tells you it's unreasonable to abolish ICE, I suggest reminding them that they've been alive longer than ICE has

Android will look you in the eyes and ask if you want to join the "HP Inkjet MHB-26471" open WiFi

Someone on the train is rocking the WinRAR handbag 😭

@staterepjuliareed.bsky.social sending some appreciation your way for sponsoring these two bills! https://app.leg.wa.gov/BillSummary/?BillNumber=2228&Year=2025&Initiative=false https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2304&Year=2025

#caturday blessings

Was having a wonderful time moping and wistfully staring out the window on the bus while listening to depressing music until some teens hopped on and RUINED the vibe with their joy and liveliness 😒

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Windows, is in fact, Copilot/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Copilot plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning agentic OS made useful […]

I think I've committed the worst programming sin of my life just now I have a function in JavaScript that runs asynchronously. I needed it to run before the next command, but there was no way to attach a callback to it, or even parse the output I forced it to run synchronously by wrapping it […]

Stocking stuffers? Just call them feet bro, you're making it weird

Life has been a blur since October. Today is the first day I haven't had an urgent looming deadline over my head and a dozen tasks I'm neglecting due to a lack of time. Feels like I just woke up in a weird way

Crossing the border repeatedly so I get more opportunities to explain the Fediverse to CBP

Got kicked out of yoga class for doing the family guy death pose 😒

Alpha-gal syndrome? Back in my day we called it girlbossing

Thanks to the midterms I can finally say "Happy Holidays" this year without fear 😌🙏

UW is the only neighborhood in #seattle where if you hear someone screaming it's less likely to be someone experiencing a mental health crisis and more likely someone playing League of Legends

Had a horrible thought. Light-up Sketchers are probably the ideal shoes for pedestrian safety against cars

Some words of wisdom from Portland

Given that we've got relatively affordable FLIR thermal cameras and decently good real time object detection, it should totally be possible to create the Metroid Prime scan visor irl, aside from the X-ray view

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places. If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

The Death Star of David finally got to #mtg #uspol

DOH. HUGE NEWS in the tariff wars! (Point Roberts is a tiny sliver of America you can basically only reach from Canada.)

Not a TUI elitist and I love OPNSense but trying to configure ddclient with their WebUI was an absolute nightmare and perfectly encapsulates why I generally prefer the terminal * Config options hidden on obscure tabs * Missing config options * Documentation doesn't say what the options […]

#askfedi does anyone know what the current status of #linux on #arm Snapdragon laptops is and whether there's a significant development effort to get it working? As a nerd, I'm contractually obligated to get a Framework for my next laptop, but holy moly 16Gb of RAM on a 2k OLED screen with 34 […]

@Gargron says he stepped down from being the CEO of Mastodon to "protect the community" but we all know the REAL reason is that management was a distraction from his one true passion: boosting cat photos

I am rapidly becoming addicted to spending money on my new homelab setup. This... could be a problem

To take something not serious seriously for a moment, what's your personal criteria for saying "the year of the #linux desktop" has happened? Some percent of marketshare? Support for competitive online games? A native Adobe Suite build?

were so fucking back guys

The purge begins. Everything is legal for the next 24 hours I immediately go to my apartment package room and throw out the dozens of boxes that have been sitting there for months on end

Voices in my head telling me to unplug the USB while updating my BIOS

Holy shit we are so back :lets_fucking_go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmKrKTwtukE #valve #steam

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

The accumulated notes of all their meetings and standups will foam up about their waists and Confluence will look up and shout "Remember to respond - these teammates mentioned you!"...and I'll look down and whisper "No." Seriously though if anyone can teach me how to disable these emails I will […]
