S01E04 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy made me cry. It's so good. I hope they keep this level of storytelling for the rest of the series.

@emaste Howdy! I saw that FreeBSD is going to be at SCaLE 23x in March, will you be attending as well? Would love to catch up and talk RISC-V and FreeBSD with you.

Five back to back scam emails posing as Microsoft, and my goodness is MSFT making this easy. Bounce the message through Azure via a webhook and it even gets DKIM signed as microsoft.com - but I doubt MSFT support is a T-Mobile Cell Phone number in Oxnard CA. Get your house in order Microsoft […]

Oh no: I've been added into the YouTube AI Upscaling of Shorts test group and it's so gross. It's not an uncanny valley, it's the Laurentian Abyss.

I want to be clear, these tools are AWESOME: https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/115728233430063413

Attached: 1 image Chatting about tools with @[email protected] I was reminded of a curious interaction with a colleague, a technician. He complained about his fading eyesight, and having issues identifying tools. So I suggested color coded hex tools, already used by others in the shop. "I WILL NOT USE GAY TOOLS!" [and walked off angrily] It really threw me off how a well-educated, soft-spoken and otherwise likeable person turned into a demented hermit crab when confronted with small bits of colorful metal. #gay #tool

So now Mozilla, the company that keeps spending money on AI things their users do not want or on open standards any longer, is now prompting us to donate to them when I launch the browser in a new tab. Lovely! I shall be donating more to Servo and Verso instead. #takebacktheweb indeed

Got to love emails from the landlord: "We wanted to make you aware of an upcoming change to maintenance requests. As of yesterday, you can no longer submit requests through [previous system]." You are using the word "upcoming" and I do not believe it means what you think it means.

FYI for other weirdos like me: the new Trixie based RPi OS Desktop images are wayland based so they are beyond slow on an RPi2 if you want a desktop. You've been warned. You may want to just get the Light image and then install lxde and Xorg yourself instead for a better experience.
