There may or may not be a 9.5ft-tall Bumble on my porch. At least he's helping with the xmas lights.

Today's Bullshit: Two dudes stole a car in the next state over. They drove it to my state and have been driving around stealing packages off of people's porches... literally across the street, as I was walking inside my house. Cops/sherrif have plate and car info and are chasing them down.

I find Digital Archaeology quite fascinating, which drives my retro tech hobbies. This weekend I find myself starting a project on digging through my own digital history while fixing an old PC and saving its content. My old digital life (15-30 years ago) was interesting and archiving it is strange.

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.

Let’s amplify LOVE instead.

I am beaming love at you. Right now.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

Arduino really is dead. It's time for the community to create something similar, without Qualcomm/Arduino involved. There is plenty already in place. www.linkedin.com/posts/adafru...

Qualcomm-owned Arduino quietly pushed a sweeping rewrite of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the changes mark a clear break from the open-hardware ethos that built the platform. The new do...

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Migrated to a Fairphone 6. Pretty useful (expensive import tariff) phone, even de-Googled. Looking back on my previous LG V60 and LG V20 phones, I am saddened that LG left the mobile market because their hardware was just fantastic in the V20. I would buy a V20 with a modern CPU and radio inside.

I was really looking forward to the remake of Final Fantasy Tactics on Steam... but it seems to include Denuvo "anti-tamper" DRM, and Denuvo as a shitty, lying company can get bent and Square Enix can lose a sale.

It takes a lot of time to play ~120 games and give them a fair evaluation. You have to dedicate time to each to select the top performers, and once that is done you have to fully replay all of the top entries and break down how they perform in different categories for final scoring. It is arduous🕹️🎯😵
Quick update from the #gbcompo25 organisation team: our judges are working hard, going through the ~120 submitted entries, validating them and selecting their favourites.

We plan to release the shortlist next week.

I think I'm on a list.
Could all new followers move further down the carriage to keep the entrance clear.
I need 30 more people on board to beat my twitter score.
Thank you for your kind attention.
