Am I reading this right? 219 traffic accidents in #Honolulu in the last 24 hours?

Short walk from my apartment in Honolulu.

The sheer amount of #spam I get on other social networks is really unbelievable. How are basic filters not just killing these “exclusive cryptocurrency club” invites constantly flowing?

Even #Gmail is stuffed with this crap… at least it normally stays in the junk folder. But the origin/sender is often some crazy nonsense junk bot user from Gmail… how is #Google so bad at this?

Another reason to skip #LasVegas just dropped! #Mosquito

I guess #Eero update quality was so bad it’s a full rollback…

This is a great environment to be in… 🙄

Has someone already done work to fix the OpenGraph link previews from @gotosocial ? When I share a post I’d like the entire post to be visible from the preview. Not just a generic link with username and my avatar. #gotosocial #opengraph

TIL #Linux might get universal key combos for cut/paste that work everywhere. Big congratulations from a primarily #macOS user!

Please don’t be mad at me!!! ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Has anybody been to an airport not undergoing some kind of construction? Are any airports finished?

It’s criminal. #DigitalOcean makes each droplet spun up #IPv4 only by default. You have to specifically make sure the #IPv6 checkbox is selected, or you’re stuck with v4 without a bunch of annoying steps to get v6 working later. Infuriating.

I really don’t understand why v6 isn’t on by default. Terrible. End rant.

It’s almost like Boar’s Head used the book “the jungle” as a guide for all of their meat packing plants.

Was going to migrate this dusty.ninja from east-coast DigitalOcean to west-coast, but new #Debian release coming Saturday has me delaying until I can use that.

So when should we just pump Ozempic into the water supply? Seems like it’s good for… everything? #Ozempic

If I don’t live past lunch this is why. #Hawaii

I get these at least twice a week. I don’t even have a Coinbase account. So ridiculous.

Just threw the switch to move from @Bryan to here.

Welcome all my followers!

Thanks again to @streamofron for being a great admin and hosting since the migration from Twitter.

Took me less than a week to stop feeling like trash when I’d go on 3+ mile walks in #Hawaii. Adjustment was pretty quick but also amazing how out of shape one can feel.

Also AC feels so so good after a long walk in the baking sun. Just an amazing experience of refreshment. 😂

Finished the first #MurderBot book. Really good read. I appreciate how the #AppleTV show rounds out the story a bit. Only another 10 weeks of holding for my turn to checkout… #Libby

Longs Drugs appears to have transitioned to an AI agent handling phone calls. Yesterday, the caller ID system promptly assisted me as the AI/IVR inquired about my prescription. I confirmed my identity, and the AI system explained that the pharmacist encountered an issue. The AI agent then asked if I wanted to speak to a pharmacist. Naturally, I agreed and spoke with the pharmacist. The entire process was remarkably smooth.

Today, I called to check if everything was resolved. However, the AI completely misunderstood my words and kept asking me for a prescription number that I didn’t have. This happened repeatedly, so I would hang up and call again to avoid getting stuck. Finally, it said I could leave a message (no option to wait on hold) and confirmed my phone number (it knew the number from caller id). It was as if the AI had completely malfunctioned or I was back to using a traditional IVR system. The experience was extremely terrible and disappointing.

I’m left wondering if this was two separate systems or if the LLM was just “mentally destroyed” taking calls all day. I have no idea what happened but I really don’t like how quickly this #enshittified
