We'd have one person reading the magazine, one person typing, and one person making sure that the typist typed what the reader read. We could "install" a game in just a few hours that way!

Are we still doing market research? Because I don't know anyone who wants this. People I know want a 1996 Corolla or Ranger, but electric. *Maybe* power windows and AC. A $14,000 machine that just does one thing well. Have a 2din in it, so if someone wants an AI powered GPS, they can install one.

A B&B or apartments in a small town somewhere in Canada that has rooms where artists, writers, tinkerers, or other creative people can stay for free. Room and Board for a year. No strings, just to see what comes of it when people don't have to worry about that.

My dog just phantom chewing every time I take a bite

I appreciate a lot about Ms. Rachel but in the top 5 somewhere is that she demonstrates how effectively the powers of permanent, irrepressible theater kid energy can be harnessed for good

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.

Walked through old Montreal early in the morning to a charming cafe, and I think I'm ready to write some poetry. It's amazing how much our built environment in most areas is oppressive and artless.

This thread brings joy, reminds us all that life is a pretty sweet fruit. youtu.be/ICXdA0sFAkc

every 17-year-old boy who reads The Fountainhead will follow one of three paths: Eliezer Yudkowsky, Ron Paul, or growing the fuck up

Some human optimism to fight the dominant (bought and paid for) techno-narrative.

Me when the cat jumps on me in the middle of the night.

Radical transparency: the more the marketing surveillance apparatus knows about me, the easier it will be for it to upload my personality into the cloud.

I would love an ibreakit dot com that showed you how to physically clip the cameras, mics and outbound telematics out of all sorts of things like TV’s and cars

I would love a 7"-8" modern tablet that runs Linux. I feel like the market should be flooded with them.

But the stilettos tear the rolling papers! I'm going to need a bigger pipe

Re-upping reccomedation: Everything @kbspangler.com has put out. There's something there for everyone. From cyborg detective novels to sword and sorcery comics to manic ninjas hanging out with ghosts across multiple formats. The Rachel Peng novels were my favorites, and a good starting place imho.

There seems to be an even split between "neat, the always on ai listening features are fab!" And "I just bought a computer with no network capabilities. Looking for a non-multitasking OS recommendation"

The Antelope's shell was a sickening sight How I wish I was on efnet now With an unpatched kernel and exposed low ports, and no spf in it's `dig txt +short`

When I read the title, I thought "clickbait nonsense"; Then I saw what books they were talking about, and thought "No, that actually checks out, I agree with the clickbait nonsense this time" :D You definitely should read Infomocracy and the Centenal Cycle trilogy by Malka Older

If you missed the Tailscale webinar yesterday, *and* you missed TailscaleUp, you can see Kartik Ram Bharath and I recap the announcements through the webinar recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-rF...

I'm going live at 2pm Eastern today to talk about the Tailscale features that dropped at our TailscaleUp conference. tailscale.com/webinars

Aperture GA, Tailscale PAM, tailcat, DNS filtering, building with and on Tailscale, and tailcat. What a week. Missed something at #TailscaleUp26? Join us tomorrow for a live recap of what’s new, what’s available now, and what’s next → tailscale.com/webinars/tai...

Gummies are either candy, vitamins, drugs, or fibre. They're a very versatile food group.

Not to be confused with Toast and Coffee Club

Just watched My Stepmother is an Alien. I appreciate a good, silly, kind of bad movie. Sometimes I forget how strange the 80s were. The past really is a foreign country. Which makes this a foreign film, I suppose. Sounds very high-brow when you frame it like that.

I think airlines should ask passengers for their breadth measurement, so they can stagger wider and narrower people. As a wide fellow, a 4h flight next to another wife person is quite uncomfortable, especially when the cart comes through. Or maybe stagger the seats a bit. Or anything really.

I want to expand on this in a short thread. Fascism sucks. It is also not going away: it is an effectively permanent part of modern representative politics because it is an effectively permanent part of human nature. We have to be prepared to push back against it, basically forever.

Just spent an hour debugging a program that wasn't behaving. Then rebooted, and everything started working again. I've been fixing computers for 33 years, and still sometimes forget to start at the beginning.

I have opinions about bread jws.sh/he-kneaded-t...

The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org

I was only ~30 years ahead of my time! Kids these days will never know the thrill of getting your X clock values wrong and smoking a monitor. But at least they still get to struggle with video card drivers.

I like that the Tailscale team let's me be a bit silly sometimes youtu.be/GasFS-qO2Os

Watched a bunch of 80s movies, and I think the reason that society is crumbling is because it's being run by the sort of people that William Atherton would have played. Real Genius and Ghostbusters at least

This is where I pull the fuse on the whole thing
