[I cannot believe I'm still thinking about A2DP] restarting the bluetooth service seems to work pretty okay to unfuck my bluetooth audio, maybe I should just bind that to a key combination or other easily-accessible shortcut (a script that shows up in `krunner` would suffice)

At least you're being honest with me here

incredible. the second trucker also got themselves clipped into the guardrail, but somehow the game engine now considered them both able to call a tow truck. the race is saved

holy shit, just seen PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE for the first time

don't talk to me or my son ever again

whoa, one of my grad school buddies is on the couch at #agdq2026 #agdq #gamesdonequick

Office 365 being renamed to Copilot is Conway's Law in action btw. I can pretty much guarantee there's some empire-building Microsoft SVP that has all the AI teams reporting to him, and since the Office 365 team now reports to him that product must now be made "Copilot" too.

The first Silver Spook game was my Deus Ex total conversion Terminus Machina. Homeless hacktivist dodges robot cops & drone-strikes in downtown San Fran amidst financial collapse & 90% AI-driven unemployment, tries to grow food & jailbreak prison-slaves into […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

SAP Concur is a machine that turns *simple process* into 💀 💀 💀

Me: Python packaging has improved so much! Also me: manages to step on every remaining rake, builds a few new rakes, lays them out carefully, then steps on them.

thinking about resurrecting my kindle 3 to turn it into a little dashboard but unfortunately the little bastard doesn't want to boot with a dead battery, and I'm not sure I care enough about this idea to spend $20 on a replacement

[subpost, "AI", snark] we've gone from exaggerated claims of "wants you to stop calling it 'slop' in 2026" to "begging" now idk maybe we don't need to make things up to mock the fundamentally ridiculous and can just stick to pointing out that it is, in fact, fundamentally ridiculous Satya […]

I have a Zojirushi NL-AAC10 rice cooker that recently went kaput on me. It randomly shuts off in a way that makes me feel either a battery is dying or a capacitor needs replacing. Either way I got an upgrade for Christmas and I think it would be really cool if someone was interested in reviving […]

2026 is not just the Year of the Horse... it is the Year of the Fire Horse! This is an especially unlucky combination of element + zodiac animal, originating in the story of Yaoya Oshichi (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoya_O...). The yokai hinoenma (yokai.com/hinoenma) is based on this superstition. ❤️‍🔥🐎

Well, congratulations everyone for making it to New Los Angeles, I guess, see you next week #Monsterdon

This is the largest Camponotus pennsylvanicus major I’ve ever seen maybe because this colony is so well fed and old, they’re producing some kind of extra large gigantic majors. it’s hard to convey in a photo, but she is humongous. That’s not a queen that’s just the worker. #ants

oops I totally forgot that AGDQ 2026 started today

Ominous link

@glyph Yeah, already there, but now I'm turning into a whole Balatro worth of jokers.

@xgranade definitely going to make a killing when I put all this low-linear-algebra steel back on the market

Me and my beer.

Learning shit is totally punk rock

I see that Nigel Farage has dipped his wrinkly little dick into the discourse about an act of war by the US against Venezuela to say "I think it's good, actually" yea, that checks out

I forget who it was here that recommended Christina's Spice Shop to me, but I am so grateful that I know about it. Made an excursion tonight for methi which I can't find at any of my usual grocery stores, figuring they would have it, and picked up some other other odds and ends while I was at […]

RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/115833933257037555 doing anything abusive or cruel "as a joke" is not funny, it's doing [the thing] and telling yourself a lie about why. just knock it off, instead.

Working with Arcalibre is a good reminder as to why the whole framing behind AI coding is such trash. Even setting aside the immense ethical problems with AI, and the fact that LLMs don't actually work to write code, the ostensible problem that AI coding tools are supposed to solve just isn't […]

O-oh

It's 2026, and the rereading Project has a post up about what the new year looks like for Arcalibre and for rereading more generally. Short version: project governance, expanding Arcalibre, pre-alpha builds of Arcalibre, and more posting. If you're looking to kick off the new year by […]

Somehow this reminds me of another brand of startup hubris I utterly despised. In the mid 10s there were a bunch of ‘we wanna save the world through tech’ folks and they had a coworking space. The Hub? Something like that? Impact Hub? Depends where it was. It went by both names but had a similar […]

the best¹ 2025 NYE celebration I saw was Scorpy finally finishing Azurik: Rise of Perathia, which is a breathtakingly bad video game, especially for what was very nearly a launch title for the Xbox --- ¹ also the only celebration I saw

A local example: the people fighting bike lanes on Broadway kept saying they were for "commuters". I.e. the high school students and CRLS staff, who bike in massive numbers, are not _real_ Cambridge residents and therefore it's OK for them to be injured. If you're not in a car, you're not real.
