I just had the pleasure of listening to The Talk Show with @gruber featuring @snazzyq. Even though I’m subscribed and enjoy each Snazzy Labs video, I didn’t realize just how intelligent and informed Quinn is. I love listening to experts discussing their field of interest. Everything these two produce is highly recommended. Mastodon

To nerds, everyday carry means tech. To Amazon, everyday carry means guns.

Why are so many people upset about the demise of Twitter? There was a time before Twitter. I know, I was there. We had many means of communication. I joined Twitter in 2007 but didn’t use it much because at first there weren’t many people on it and at that time I was involved with several forums. There will be successors to Twitter. Will it be CoSo or Mastodon? Too soon to tell.

I’d like to see a tech-oriented psychiatrist tackle the association between AI and cryptomnesia.

I’ll become YouTube famous once I start uploading my tutorials on how to accomplish simple tasks at home, work, and online in the absolutely most complicated, least effective way possible. My hacks will endanger the lives of anyone insane enough to actually try them. I will have survivors as guests if there are any. And it will become insanely popular.

So, it seems being 69 isn’t so bad after all. It’s only been less than a day but nothing horrible yet. At least I’m still alive, and that beats being dead. I know I’ll be dead someday, but I intend to enjoy being alive as long as it lasts.

Being alive really does beat being dead. We were all dead before we were born. Do you remember any of it? I don’t. If it had been fun you’d think we’d have some memory of it. So being dead must be boring as hell. Being alive is so much better, even when life sucks. I recommend life to anyone who has the opportunity to live. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the NAACP: The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the “Slave Patrol.” The earliest formal slave patrol was created in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with one mission: to establish a system of terror and squash slave uprisings with the capacity to pursue, apprehend, and return runaway slaves to their owners.

Police should not enjoy qualified immunity. No public official should. In this country, public servants should be responsible for everything they do. Immunity should not be allowed in a democratic republic.

Politics has become a rich person’s game. No more denials. This is a game for those who take no responsibility and have no limits. It’s a video game.
Thursday has to be the least interesting day of the week.
In running the updates on my 12 year old ASUS laptop with Windows 10 Home, I get the following notice I’ve never encountered before. “Your version of Windows has reached the end of service”. This whole machine has reached its end of service. No surprises there.

George Santos has shown he has a spine. In the face of ever mounting evidence that he lied his way into his job, he refuses to leave (now he’ll always be a celebrity like ol’ Kyle) and refuses to explain. At least he’s not like his fellow Republicans, who are invertebrates. He’s Donald Trump Lite. I bet Jr’s raging with jealousy.
I never noticed that Windows warning before. 💾
“Your computer needs so many updates you might just as well come later, a lot later. Please insert the first floppy disk.”

I just started up my old ASUS K501J Windows 10 laptop, built and bought in 2010. The last time I used it was 2 years ago. Dead battery, of course. Intel Pentium dual-core T4200 running at 200MHz, upgraded to 3 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. The trackpad works but is sticky, so useless. Other than the fact it’s crippled by the processor and slower than snot, and the fact it weighs a ton and is really thick, it’s not a bad machine.
This sounds fascinating. Not one to read when you’re mentally exhausted. youtu.be/6qU1sDBU9…
In just over a week I’ll turn 69 years old. I’m really not sure how I feel about that.
I don’t know who at Apple decides on pricing but they need to come back to reality, especially when it comes to peripherals. From monitor stands to case wheels to watch bands, their pricing is astronomically outrageous.
If we could shed some of the baggage from our earliest days; greed, envy, hate, lust for power, fear of the unknown, if we could overcome those ancient limitations humanity might have a chance. Maybe in generations to come. I just don’t see it happening anytime soon.
