Is @verge just turning into a bot that reposts barely updated articles about the best robot vacuum over and over and over again?

@gruber Rented an Opel in Europe last week. Was using CarPlay with Waze, close to an exit and roundabout when the 3 hour timer kicked in and the entire screen was taken over by a coffee icon and a warning: Take a break! Want to look up coffee shops?

In hindsight,I should've bought a computer with a terabyte of RAM 2 years ago.

Ouch, je sais pas il joue à la roulette russe avec quelle sorte d'arme!

If you have previously pasted some dumb fucking ChatGPT thread to me in an attempt to answer a question you didn't even understand the nuance of, I reserve the right to keep doing it to you for the REST of ETERNITY. It will be great not having to think when you ask me questions, too.

I'm reading some of the hype posts and looking at YouTube on Moltbot (FKA ClawdBot) and I can't see how anyone will use that with decent sandboxing. This seems 90s IRC wars era chaos levels incoming. For example - Google has no way for me to grant OAuth access to a bot to gmail ONLY for emails […]

Anybody starting to see spam with prompt injection attempts?

The problem with cyberdecks is that it's difficult to type while standing up. The clear solution? The keytar.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@kagihq/115962801404797483 I’m now an influencer, see! Be influenced by my exquisite taste.

Wasn't Viticci like super anti-AI or something?

Some say the devil doesn't exist but I keep receiving "reminders" for "meetings starting soon" (in 24 hours) from people's Calendly-like things

Living in a bilingual country and speaking both languages means you are forever doomed to listen to a god damn translation for half of every political speech, and end up switching between CBC and SRC as it goes live, to avoid the god damned translation.

I wish drive through carwashes had a underbody only option

RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/115933053008005979 Long article to say “Sony TVs will be absolute shit in 2 years”

Apple is down exactly as I NEED to watch Pluribus

Sony sold its TVs division to TCL???

Things that help me enjoy the web a little bit even in 2026: 1. Ad blockers (1Blocker, uBlock Origin, Kagi Orion browser) 2. @NetNewsWire for my "must read" RSS feeds 3. Tapestry by @Iconfactory for my "fun" feeds (I put EVERYTHING in Tapestry but am not a completionist about it, and keep the […]

Lazyweb: I need cool looking nerdy wrist rest for a 75% keyboard. What should I get?

Me sitting in the plane last week if the mines were coughing maskless people.

"P.S. If you don't want to hear from me again, please let me know." Nah I think I will let the filters know.

Left the car at the garage for 5 business days while I was out of town. Time to see what was found over that period 😅

I asked the plane attendant what “the IPA” was after she told me they had “Coors light, Molson Canadian and an IPA” She answered. “India pale ale”. Can’t blame her, I guess I look like a fucking idiot.

Stuck at secondary screening about to miss my flight when I noticed Canadian customs put names on a screen to let you know you’re cleared. But the screen HAD A DIM SCROLLBAR YOU FUCKING IMBECILES

Every time I come back through Pearson airport I think: never again. Then I have a flight without any other option and I repeat the mistake.

Every Lufthansa related airline app: Click here to see the menu on your upcoming flight! *click* *loads for 20 seconds* Explore the menu and make your choice during the flight.

If you ever flew in Rouge your first thought reading this article is "that's probably more comfortable" https://ca.news.yahoo.com/pearson-baggage-handler-trapped-air-154218018.html

“Oh wow cool sounding article let me check it out” *realizes it’s on Medium*

PRO TIP: UNLOCKING this with my finger was MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than LOCKING it

Stuck in an airport for hours AMA

Nice try, Big Germ.

@gruber Ben stating that “Japanese cars” have the gas tank on the same side will generate a record amount of email.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mysk/115855311675672601 Yep, it’s impossible to explain why this time it’s “ok”.

If this was cheap I'd get it for Halloween https://mastodon.social/@verge/115854920986995265

Logitech writes like certificates have agency. "A certificate required for the app to run expired" It sure sounds to me like YOU *FORGOT* to UPDATE a certificate, but sure, let's passive voice it, it's not like it's possible to know in advance when certificates will expire, life is so random.

Saw @mttaggart using @kagihq and after trying it for myself I actually really like it. Yoinked and endorsed. Still love other privacy search alternatives like DDG and Startpage but Kagi is my new default.

It's 2026. Almost 20 years ago I used Asterisk setups configured by @IndianaTux and it worked great. But now? EVERY COMPANY I EVER HAVE TO CALL Why does everyone have a phone system that sounds like it's VoIP over a 28.8k link? Especially now that cellular to cellular calls sound way […]

Do you use a habit tracker on iOS? If yes, which one, and why that one?

I’ll spend $79.99 on your Mac app no questions asked if someone tells me it’s good but I’m reading to start unsubscribing to newsletter who recommend subscription apps to me. I get the appeal for devs but I’m not paying 49.99 a year for every app ESPECIALLY since the App Store doesn’t allow me […]

That’s a keyboard

Happy new year a few hours early from my timezone best timezone

My 40+ year streak of not getting fingerprinted officially is over.

Slack mobile has an unbearable bug where channels with very short retention windows (say 24 hours) will light up as having unreads, but then the channel looks empty. You can post and see your posts, but very often, you don't see the other posts. AGH

Daniel Lopatin is amazing. @rick made me watch Uncut Gems, awesome soundtrack. Then I watched Cabinet of Curiosities and one episode struck me because of a song above everything else - The Viewing Suite. All of that to say I haven’t seen Marty Supreme but listened to the soundtrack 3 times […]

Pretty evil phish

Annnnnnd done with Outer Worlds 2. Next up: Probably MGS Delta, hoping performance has been improved a bit with patches (it SUCKED on PS5 Pro on release, was more bearable on regular PS5)

People who call ServiceSnow "SNOW" in uppercase as if that's not SnowFlake's ticker...

This game is SO UNREALISTIC it’s making me angry!

Are notification centers on non-mobile OSes a net-win? I really don't think so. Mostly distractions, and additional clean-up work as I remove all notifications from it regularly.

The RCMP seized a laptop for forensics, pressed charges, the Calgary police pressed charges too, all based on an email with headers that clearly identified it as spoofed? Shit like this is scary as hell […]
