Behold: the hermit emerges to gawk at an author
(I’m early but it’s @pluralistic with @waxy in #pdx )
@lordbowlich @pluralistic @waxy I think if anyone could avoid surveillance, it’s this guy
@gogobonobo @pluralistic @waxy oh hey! 👋 were i more socially adept i might have said hi before i left 😅
@pluralistic @waxy i didn’t have the wherewithal to ask for a selfie, but i did say hackers.town says hi and got an autograph and a creepy picture from the door
@TheDarkHorse He's got a metric butt-ton of books coming out in the next months, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wanders back by
@maddiefuzz That suddenly reminds me of when I was like 10 or so: I had a C64 and a 300 baud modem, but no tape or floppy drive yet. I had a hard copy of a terminal program in BASIC that I typed in to dial a BBS.
I feel like I just kept typing that thing over & over forever until I got a datasette. (it was probably only about 2 weeks)
Just got through the season 1 finale of Quantum Leap (2022), and you know? I didn't hate any of that.
@ramsey Yeah, wasn't too bad IMO. Also not so much a reboot as a continuation, albeit with original series characters mentioned but not seen

@chartier I need to get around to a rewatch! That summer it was on along with Farscape on Sci-Fi Channel was an amazing time
twitter, npr
I mean you gotta hand it to Musk, he knows how to keep NPR making noise about Twitter even if they're not making noise on Twitter
In an email sent at 2:19 a.m. EST after the story was originally published, Musk wrote a message without any text in the body but with this subject line: "You suck."

re: twitter, npr
@danhon Yeah, I dunno, I feel like the worst thing that could happen to him & Twitter right now is if everyone just sort of wanders off and stops talking about it

re: Eye contact
@e_er1n @kusuriya @thegibson they're gonna tap the sign again
saying "this is the work" to myself like "this is the way" from the mandalorian
@martyn Oh I have been so tempted to drop that a few times this week
@billyjoebowers Folks might assume this is the way
@drh Oof, my condolences on your ailing system. I have a Rube Goldberg machine of iCloud Sync and SyncThing running on a hackintosh to keep my Obsidian notes all in sync between my phone, laptops, and servers. It sucks but seems to be working for most of a year? 🤞
@april WAT
@april I'll go ink up my blotter
now deploying VNV Nation to squeeze 5 more minutes' work out of myself
