@mos_8502 I didn't really expect to feel nostalgia for these screenshots, and yet now I want to run this

@enobacon one of many situations that make me wish I had a train horn mounted to my bike

@johnmacintosh That's adorable

Do you like Doom? Do you like roguelikes? Jupiter Hell is on sale for US$10 on Steam right now, it's pretty cool

@emma @eb Yeah, seems to work in prod release Firefox too? Been ages since I tried styling an RSS feed since I thought the feature was broken! Could be neat to try again

@rasterweb @liaizon I keep seeing folks call their YouTube channel a "podcast" too, and it's so frustrating

@rasterweb @liaizon I'm like here's my pod (points at Pocket Casts on phone) and you're not casting to it

@scottsantens Seems like nearly every time I've heard person A call person B lazy, it's just a revelation of person A's ignorance of person B's daily labor

@rauschma I feel weird hard-wrapping prose comments in code but not hard-wrapping markdown. Habit? Muscle memory?

And yet, in markdown, when I'm writing longer documents, the hard-wrapping is tedious to maintain.

I keep thinking I should trust the soft wrap in my editor more 😅

One of the random newsletters I subscribed to at some point just shilled dietary supplements to me and I unsubbed so hard that I swear I dragged 40 other subscribers out with my super-sonic wake

The Zoom meetings will increase until morale improves

(also i've tried to do a dead drop in the past few years and my time for that was clearly when I was much younger)

Somehow the hottest new meme on my TikTok feed is high quality industrial grade glycine from Donghua Jinlong. This is one of the weirder glitches I've seen in the Matrix in recent memory, but I'm kinda here for it?

I feel like this says something intimate about how I've trained my slice of the algorithm, but I'm unsure what

@outofband I've seen some from the food grade side and, I dunno, those folks look like they're selling something suspect

@FlyingMarmot I've been staring at this for a full minute now, and it doesn't get old

I keep wanting to like & use Matrix more for chatting and get into the protocol. But, it seems like every time I try opening a client, it assigns me a half-dozen side quests and everything's moved around since the last time I looked

It's like whenever I try installing World of Warcraft again and revisit one of my old previously max-level characters and I forget what any of the buttons do

@jalefkowit better check on the National Timbits Reserve

@ajroach42 Seemed like PalmOS devices totally loved that 2.5mm jack. Had a converter dongle in my pack for years because of it

@maddiefuzz you never told us you had such a superb pitching arm!

I know we're going to AI hell in an LLM handbasket, but this is pretty funny

@mos_8502 Somebody had a lil red Kei truck parked at our neighborhood hardware store the other day. They were gone by the time I came back out, so I never saw who it was. But dang it looked neat & handy

re: death

@ifixcoinops yeah, the inevitable passage of time sucks. Pretty sure I know the same guy and I kept meaning to hang out with him more when I lived nearby

Reminded again that there's a TV station in my state that carries the Heroes & Icons network. They air 5 hours of every weeknight. But, they're just out of reception range for my antenna 😞

Like, I could simulate their schedule from hard drives in my own basement. But there's something neat about sticking an antenna in the air and getting it all. I think I'm weird

I kinda wish Plex let friends share live OTA TV antenna tuners over the internet. I know there've been multiple attempts at doing this as a business and they've all been squashed

@selectric Yeah, it's some cross between those two things that's just neat (also I mean, I grew up with it that way, so there's that too)

Oh well, I can console myself with Comet TV - which is in range of my antenna and has a different bunch of cool re-runs like Stargate SG-1, Grimm, X-Files, and Buffy

@spottyfox Yeah, me too, I went through a few generations of ATI all-in-wonder GPU / tuner cards. These days, I've got an HDHomeRun tuner box on my network that's worked pretty great for a few years
