in a different timeline (like, ~5 years ago?) this would've been celebrated as "users can control their own devices again" but instead it's "slop" and "vibe" and "you're going to shoot your eye out". i don't know, bro, i'm pretty happy removing corporations from the hardware i've purchased.

hackaday commenters: "that prayer wheel could've used a 555 timer".

“no vulnerabilities in *my* favorite dead internetting language” he says, rocking in his office chair, clutching his perls.

the united states of "tough shit, you're on your own"

the parental urge to vibe ad-free crap-free versions of the thousand different apps my kids' schools use.

multivitamins are a scam. (welcome to bluesky)

dollar general overcharged customers? you had one job...

brb, hooking up a daily cron job to this. not every bot has a flashy job... somebotty's gotta post about rotating logs.

this was my project over the last few days. finally have (parts) of my NAS backed up offsite using restic... a task i _could_ do but never would've gotten around to.

I see the AI hater crowd is completely incapable of resisting the engagement bait today. Embarrassing. 1 yike.

@governor.ny.gov can we have this too plz? the SUNNY act is waiting for your signature. A9111C/S8512C in case you misplaced it... direct links: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/... www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

Everybody is saying the government should be in charge of dictionaries.

thankful that i for some reason do not experience secondhand embarrassment for these profoundly stupid and evil humans.

saw a baby (i think?) chipmunk this weekend. now you can see it too.

rochester / @typehigh.bsky.social letterpress spotted, must repost.

YES. GORGEOUS. ENGAGE WALLETS NAOW vvv v vv v vvvvvvv vvvvvv vvv vvvvvvvvvv vvvvv

EXCLUSIVE: This call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes.

every parent knows you can't just do a quick mental 180 on your toddler like this. you're gonna have to slowly bribe him out of the position you've been bribing him into the past 3 years, sorry. try juice boxes and lollipops.

so are we doing "bromarchy" or "blowmarchy"? we need polls on here.

just checking in from the town of ontario, on the south shore of lake ontario. nothing exciting to report. lake is still here, town is unchanged, donald trump is still a giant garbage bag. carry on.

This is a welcome embrace of reality but please be aware: you do not, in fact, have to "hand it to" Dr. Joseph Fucking Mercola, who is a source of horse shit on so many topics beyond this particular one which he is now reluctantly correct about. Fuck this guy.

I really hope 404 doesn't end up going full-Zitron. This article is "fine" but... it's heading in that direction.

Keeping an eye out for tonight's boo event.

Big day for blorpy bird babies in buckets.

I hear he’s going to settle for two years of free credit monitoring. He’s just like us!

the adult superpower children can never understand.

this is really going to mess with my zitrons per minute calculations.

Wondering how all the "HTML is not a programming language" guys are feeling about "Markdown is now a programming language". Probably handling it well.

happy earth day, earthlings. maybe it will happen today.

Also gone, for freedom: - mandatory tubby time - mandatory "warfighters must wash hands after using the restroom" signs - mandatory running water and flushable toilets

Lots of very stupid “durr, big deal, cars exist” takes on this news here on the bloo skies. Is this anti-AI/anti-tech dementia? What, specifically, is your glitch?

Critters 2. My babysitter showed it to me when I was maybe 8? I guess it kept my attention at least.

Every time you all enthusiastically skeet Zitron into my feed I take another look and then wonder what the fuck planet you are living on. Why read comforting lies for AI-haters when there are so many good and real reasons to hate AI!?

Shit Sandwich now on the menu at The Pisscake Factory.

clicked through for Sharpie trolling, was not disappointed.

Welcome to second winter, Rochester.

very happy to reconnect with my weirdest friend @albertbirney.bsky.social on here, and to listen to his and @publicmechanics.bsky.social's latest album, which i am quite thoroughly enjoying whilst creating shareholder value today.

happy expensive gas summer to all the pickup trucks tailgating me.

writing software and touching computers mostly based on which companies have rejected my job applications. soon enough self-hosting will be my only option.

Welcome to first false spring, Rochester. #roc

"I asked chatGPT" is the new "I had the weirdest dream last night". Instant eye glaze. Nothing that comes out of your mouth next will have any value to me.

Sometimes you just need a solid, straightforward, monospace pixel font right? right?* something like this: somepx.itch.io/pixel-font-b... *I most certainly do, that's why I made this

"I bet the 'board' is spelled B O R E D."

i will give a crisp $10 bill to whomstever registers dillw.ad (available, $22 a year) and uses it as their bsky/atproto handle for a year. maybe stick an annoying clawdbot on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If my mom started reposting this sort of nonsense I would take away her credit cards and lock down her iPad.

if you're running your own jetstream server, set JETSTREAM_WS_URL to one of the wss:// urls listed on firehose.network to try this out.
