or, take a little more than a year of premium netflix, buy a 2-bay synology nas and a couple drives, and never pay for a enshittified streaming services again! www.amazon.com/Synology-2-B...

maybe froyo will fix me

i fear i may have run out of juice. i thought too much about what i have left to do and now i can't start any of it

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms. It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

i am a machine that turns spite into design

theres still 3 more years of this shit by the way

went out of my way to get my favorite guilty pleasure drink after a long and irritating day at the office only to be greeted by every flavor except the one i like

i think i’m *mostly* not sick anymore. that was a doozy of a 48 hours. my body just wanted like 12 hours of sleep

New Shiina Ringo album announced!!! 🎉🎉🎉 It's another collab album... 😔😔😔 www.kronekodow.com/gaiko/sr_kin...

pretty sure i got sick working on this instead of sleeping

Maiko and Enbi from several weeks ago

took some photos this morning

maiko has been a slug on my laptop all day. i had to pick her up and move her to make her go get her food (she's fine, it's just really nice and warm)

The paradox of this monitor is its pretty well built for what it is, but theres no buttons for the OSD and instead you must use the shittiest IR remote to control it. My primary use for this monitor is switching between my PC and Mac so I caved and... I guess I'm building a wifi-enabled IR emitter

this prototype is my burden

lol holy fucking shit this is absolutely insane personal computing is dead

the news is exhausting

gotta love when they say the quiet part out loud.

my sinuses hurt for some reason

All of these things are true: 1. Alan Dye should never have had the role he did at Apple 2. Dye damaged Apple's software for years (and for years to come) 3. Tim Cook should have removed him long ago 4. It's a huge win for Apple's users that he left 5. Meta has such poor taste that they wanted him

On one hand, I am so happy I never skip RAM day. On the other, I feel so incredibly bad for anyone looking to buy or upgrade a PC (or any device for that matter) for the foreseeable future. www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

it is incredibly depressing and annoying being in the zone at 5am, but having to force my brain to wind down to maybe get three hours of sleep to do Normal People Things like work the next day. i wish my brain didn’t do this!!!

Supporters of marriage equality in Japan faced a setback on November 28th that surprised many. After a series of favorable court rulings across the country, the Tokyo High Court ruled that the lack of recognition of same-sex marriage was constitutional. buff.ly/HlG6HWe

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Cleaning out my email from ~9000 unreads and the last 4500 are from the last two years... wtf?

Every few months I get a discount email for @kaleidoscope.app and as much as I want to support good software, I just cannot rationalize buying into a subscription for a diff viewer. I think they'd get me if they adopted the Sketch model where you can keep using the last version you paid for.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

there is simply no convenient time for guild wars

honestly i've been working on this for so long that i do not know what to do with myself now that i must take a break

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

i worked 12-16 hours a day on a prototype for the past two weeks and i didnt get the initial reaction i wanted which means the 12-16 hour days continue 🫩🫩🫩

$5000 6K monitor vs $1700 6K monitor

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

i want to have sympathy for bikes as the one true solo form of transportation, but a bicyclist ran a red bike light from a protected, separate bike lane when cars had the green at a protected right turn and i can’t help but think you can’t outbuild Darwin

The bill only forces the release of unclassified information. Pass it on.

Trying here first: Are any of you geologists, rock nerds, or very knowledgable about natural gas? I am eventually looking for someone to occasionally consult with (yes, paid) for a project I'm working on.

unfortunately i’ve learned i’m a much better designer when i’m critically sleep deprived

perhaps its time to reconsider a single company being the backbone of the entire internet

Control of your own devices is temporary, but surveillance is forever.

More tales from the portfolio mines: - If you put images on your site, there should be a lightbox or gallery to view them. I'm not going to go out of my way to see them at full res, so if they're tiny and I can't see details, I will just scroll past. - Please stop using the typeface Redaction

i need to sleep but im in the auto zone and now im hungry

this was a good watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDne...

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

this is one of the craziest things i’ve read in a really long time, and we live in a time of some really crazy things

Every day I'm more grateful I run my own damn music streaming app

And if you’re not being serious, people are going to stop taking you and your platform seriously. If we can’t look around at where we are and agree that the usual milquetoast white liberal bullshit is no longer serving us, then I don’t even know what we’re doing here.
