"Oh he works for us. That's Paaaaaaaatrick baaaaaaby boi." Best line delivery in all of cinema. #filmsky

i actually had the thought "I'm gonna go home, relax, and watch The Big Short" the fuck is wrong with me.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

why does new year's day feel like 3 years ago? (wrong answers only.)

This video taught me 2 things: 1) We hella missed out on a Henry Cavil Indiana Jones reboot 2) The real danger of technological ultra convenience is we're eroding our own inner soil such that the garden of ourselves cannot grow to its potential - or sometimes at all.

I'm reading security write ups on LLMs and even these people take the hype at face value way too often. I guess even cybersecurity experts are tech enthusiasts at heart.

our ux research team's satisfaction score has been steadily declining for 2 years now. GOSH I WONDER WHY

Skeeting about homelabfinder so I do not forget, this is going to be so valuable in the near future

i don't follow back anymore because that mostly just leads to someone slipping into my DMs and trying to sell me some bullshit.

In America now there's no fine.

i was just playing around with the wallpaper settings in #kde... holy crow, years ahead of anything native in Windows. most of the shipped ones have dark and light versions, you can configure it to always use the version that matches your device theme, or have it change based on day/night... awesome

people do not trust big tech right now, so i hope the response is not "Oh, Microsoft, our saviours." i hope the response is "... so you could have been doing this from the beginning? and you didn't? fuck you twice."

i'm going to start posting my incredibly unphotogenic (but tasty) meals because i've been subtly influenced to think that if i'm not gonna be able to attractively plate my meal, was it even worth cooking? i didn't even notice it was happening, but it did.

the worst part of being a new or intermediate #Linux user continues to be Linux users that answer support questions with judgment and scorn. if you don't wanna help newbies, don't.

I wrote this in April 2024, about why people were refusing to leave X as it became undeniably a pro-white-supremacist site But holy hell could I not have predicted that by 2026, it would be a child abuse material production site and THAT TOO is not enough to get people to leave the fucking place

At long last I understand that making technology easier to use is often also means it's more difficult to understand. This is a Faustian bargain.

i am not built for this moment. but i'll meet it the best i can.

i had forgotten how noisy Microsoft Teams is and how little control it gives you over being interrupted. notifications on or off. no temporary mute. terrible.

incredible:

it only took being back at work for 3 days for something to profoundly trigger me

you know you're not a beginner at #Linux anymore when you start to recognize you have a preference in distros. relatedly: i think tonight is the night to switch from kubuntu to nobara.

the Parable of the Sower is absolutely knocking me on my ass. what a strangely auspicious moment in history to be reading this. #booksky

i wondered for a long time why people generally preferred flatpak to snap. now i know. uninstalling an application hung, can't cancel or re-start it, and the hanging task is blocking me from doing other things. i'm gonna have to reinstall the whole friggin' OS just to get around this. #linux
