@Macross oh that kind of track lighting or whatever is just an absolute delight. I think i took some down in one of our houses, but only after turning off like half the circuits in the breaker to be safe
@genehack Yeah, sorta but more aggregated and searchable along social filters
@captaincalliope re: the Twitter Blue thing, I never played with it but I have been playing with a link leader board thing in a private client of my own lately
(of course most of the news is awful, so it's maybe not the happiest thing to play with 😅 )
@randomgeek @genehack personal link blog / bookmarking thing, with some activitypub hooks, and then hopefully some search
@randomgeek @genehack But also I haven't written any code toward it so 🤷♂️
@genehack @randomgeek I haven't played with NNTP in a long while, but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be a terrible idea to play with again heh
@danhon I hope whomever's using my oregon drivers license to buy beer gets something good
Vision Pro; gross
Listening to The Vergecast and there was contemplation of sharing a Vision Pro headset between friends and family faces and I shuddered a bit.
A childhood of avoiding lice and pink eye has trained me against this scenario
Vision Pro; gross
@pixelkeen yeah, no, i see folks put these things on their faces for a public theme park ride and i’m like there’s no level clean enough for me, even if the underpaid folks running the ride really do throughly sanitize between rides. Oof. As company training tool, sounds like a good way to get the whole team on antibiotics
@ElleGray it’d be fun to wake as a cockroach or something, as a treat
Who could have foreseen that bots will eat themselves, once their owners have run out of high-quality free human labor to feed them? https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/16/crowd_workers_bots_ai_training/
@hastur Yeah, my main worry about jobs is that I want to sleep & eat while clothed under a roof. And the owners of AI capital won't share the benefits with civilization. Working jobs are the current main way that people with the money tend to disperse the funds.
While at the same time...
@craigmaloney Is the message relayed via a magnifying glass?
Wow, just saw a seagull get told to get the eff out of my neighborhood. Gull was absolutely booking it across the sky with 8 crows in hot pursuit
I’m like, sea bud, what did you dooo?
@wraithan Yeah, mainly I just say hello to crows and offer them food. Maybe someday we'll open trade relations
Also, somewhat synchronicitously, I read The Sandman issue 40 over lunch, which turned out to be the one with the story about the mystery of the Parliament of Rooks
@rc2014 An ignorant question, since I haven't learned a ton about these kits yet other than that I kinda want one: Can I upgrade the Pro Pride kit to functionally a Zed Pro with a couple of the more mundanely non-Pride expansion cards?
@rc2014 Niiice! Sad to have been slow and missed out on the Zed kit and wanted to be sure to have more fiddly bits, even if they're visually less fabulous :D
@rc2014 Excellent, looking forward to the project! :D Always wanted a kit computer and never quite got down to doing anything about it
A car alarm keeps going off outside my window and now I've got "Get Down" by Emergency Broadcast Network stuck in my head.
cw: obnoxious sirens; facist cop noises; mariah carey
Also, there's a corner of my brain where "Electronic Behavior Control System" plays on endless loop
