What do #Smarties candy #colours mean to you? Me... * `brown` love of chocolate! * `yellow` sadness, face challenge * `orange` fun & funny things * `green` think of nature * `blue` seeing the sky * `pink` the smiles friends bring * `red` love of dear ones * `purple` brings magic & hope

Home made #pizza #Savoyarde: #raclette cheese, potato slices, shaved onions, mozzarella, and a white sauce (Alfredo). I had considered some torn prosciutto also on top; maybe next time. Regardless, it was yummy.

Does @waterfox.net support security keys (Yubikey) on Android yet? Its the one hold up from using Waterfox on Android. Currently use LibreWolf on Windows and Firefox on Android, but would prefer a uniform solution.

What is this sinister evil to be found in Walmart check-out isles mixed in with tabloids, candy bars, and chewing gum?! I blame @cmdrbuur.bsky.social for these hedonistic impulse buying temptations.

@librewolf.bsky.social Recent version or two make it almost impossible to connect to HTTP (no S) sites, with `Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode` & domain exceptions. Suspect the issue is tied to DNS CNAME to A record. Or the timeout for HTTP connection is too short.

First time ever in decades of road #running has someone almost #hit me with their #car, close enough I had to push off their hood to avoid going down! I kept running as I was on a roll (time wise) for the route. Oddly enough there was an ambulance in the same drive way only a couple metres away.

And if you zoom in, you may be able to see the “close ad” button.

Today in #Ottawa 31C humidex 41C including wild fire smoke... `Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut.` -- [Good Morning, Vietnam](www.imdb.com/title/tt0093...)

I don't know why, but I think `$ tmux attack` should be a thing. #unix #typos

@lauriewired.bsky.social I trust you have watched the TV series [Halt and catch fire](www.imdb.com/title/tt2543...) (pseudo telling of early micro computers and internet) and the movie [Tetris](www.imdb.com/title/tt1275...). Love them both.

@bsky.app When do we get Markdown support?

I was just thinking of `Its just a wee little bunny rabbit` crossed with an Alien face hugger. What would an Alien-Rabbit xenomorph look like?

While moderating some spammers today I made flippant... `I came, I saw, I killed -9`

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I am working on the edits of my second book and on the one hand every part of drafting and editing a book is painful and exhausting but on the other hand it’s one of the most satisfying and thrilling things I’ve ever done with my brain and I cannot IMAGINE outsourcing any part of it to a machine.

A ceramic mug. Fingers rubbing in out of the handle. A soft gentle resonance. Felt.

@straczynski.bsky.social Do you have a preferred version of a Babylon 5 drinking game?

My first ever cake, Apple Cake. It came out surprisingly well. Neighbours loved it. Soft, moist, not overly sweet, flavourful.

Did anyone ask the #Artemis2 crew if the capsule had that new car smell?

Strange text on a sign below monitor with Windows BSOD telling blind and handicapped readers that the menu is available in Braille or Pictures (probably not both). If those clients are alone, how are they suppose to read that sign? D'oh!

So today I made a lovely 3 cheeses & veggie pizza. Along with [a few others](nanozen.snert.org/2622-2/) past few days. Nom nom.

What a #Vorlon might say... Beware of the bunnies.

@firefox.com Well the new Search box droplist in 149 sucks. Before I could TAB to move through search engines. The new behaviour is useless. 😠

@waterfox.net What happened to the support for multiple dictionaries? I typically have UK english and French installed, but unlike Firefox or LibreWolf, the support appears missing.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I bought this fridge magnet years ago (before AI mania) as a reminder of how Big Brother is creeping into our lives. Now it seems more important as statement about how we learn, work, and live every day. #NoAI #UnplugAI

Just a friendly reminder that #IOCCC29 will be open for only 2 weeks more. The submission deadline is **2026-03-13 17:19:23.293137 UTC**. #IOCCC #C

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot. Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

Walkies! Ottawa style.

Had my first ever @popeyes.bsky.social meal. Spicy blacken chicken (undersized) sandwich, tasted sweet and not spicy, with luke warm lg fries. 20 CAD for two "fastfood" items - sad. For 20 CAD I could have bought a roast chook & St. Hubert sauce at Metro, still have change, and get ~3 meals.

So I made a `Tarte aux tomates et tapenade` last Sunday. Lovely simple dish and it turned out rather well I thought. No anchovies in my tapenade though in case you're a purest.

So what services and software can be relied on to not use AI? The BSDs, Linux, good ol' HP 15C & 16C, master chefs, classic flip-phones with 4G (where's Nokia 3310 when you need it), home stereos, martial arts, dog cuddles. Things built by thinkers and artists; where simple'n' sturdy has value.

Ya know this pic looks like a giant eye-lash thickener brush. Just saying.

@gimp.org.web.brid.gy Consider a GIMP Lite or GIMP Paint, **fast load**, quick edits, crop, resize, basic draw (like Paint), format conversion, all without Microsoft enshitification. GIMP is great, but heavy to load and get basic stuff done quick for a quick post, bug report, email, meme, etc.
