I don’t know why anyone would question why a psychopath with too much money would lie. I mean, c’mon everyone. What does he have to gain?!

I wish he’d eat a homeless man’s ass.

They’re great devices.

Recently, my partner’s 18yo nephew asked her if she had any iPods (she doesn’t). I took a photo of the eight or so different models that I still have in storage and sent it to him just to gloat. I’m a monster.

C’mon now. You’re not nearly rich or influential enough to get away with that and you know it. Rules are for regular people, not the rich or mighty. Sheesh.

It’s finally the year of Desktop Linux, about fifteen (or more) years after people thought it would happen. I’m happy for all the nerds who are finally vindicated. (I like Linux, but I’m an Apple guy.)

You would have really liked the comedian we saw last night. Epstein files were the main topic. Sammy Obeid. Good stuff.

That was my reaction when I read about them pulling copilot and such. I think it’s probably the reaction of every software nerd.

It seems like we’re at a real turning point for Linux adoption. I’m an Apple nerd, but I love seeing people switch to Linux and write about what a (mostly) positive experience it is. Cheers to my fellow nerds getting off the screaming pile of garbage MS if forcing on people who just want a computer that works.

Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.

Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I’m certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).

Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.

“What else can we do that’s hostile to our customers?”

The next move will be bringing back Clippy and then a full-screen ad that you have to dismiss every ten seconds.

I feel sad for all the youthful Linux nerd who were excited about the year of the Linux desktop who died of old age. They were only many years too soon.

Happy 2026 Linux everybody!

Worked on my Mac. Might be because I have the StopTheMadness extension. It specifically tries to prevent such bullshit.

I spend a lot of time in /tmp sending temporary output to files and testing commands when building shell scripts. It’s appropriate that a long-haired fluffer butt lives there because that’s been most of my cats through the years.

Sucks to be the person who made that commit. Genuinely.

I run Movary on my NAS in a docker container so that my partner has a place to add to our watch-list.

I also run a personal kbase that I built on top of Docbase and Markdown files.

And I recently started using HTTP2Shell to throw commands at a local networked device. This is useful to me personally, maybe not for others, because I’ve written my own automations.

I recently considered adding Home Assistant, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen because we have lamps that don’t remain in an “on” state when unplugged; any devices I might buy to add wifi to them wouldn’t actually turn them on remotely as a result. Shame cause there’s one that’s pretty necessary at night that’s between a wall and a sofa that’s pushed back against it because that’s just the layout of the room. I don’t mind manually controlling the others, but that was the one that would have been nice to trigger from my phone. Our thermostat and robot vacuum would have been on the same system, but they already have dedicated apps anyway.

You’re only limited by your imagination and curiosity (and wallet).

I country with a working legislative would prevent a market leader from attempting to prevent consumers from exercising their freedom to choose. Oh well.

We’ve never been safer! /s

Yes.
