Love me a good #Microsoft story about their thin skin.

I’m not running #OpenClaw but it’s nice to read I’m a cool kid with a completely speced up Mac mini. 😎 #Apple #Macmini

Just saw this banner text for the first time... neat!

New #mastodon #gotosocial iOS app progress is going well. I hope to share something soon.

Just got back from a week’s vacation and started work again tonight. So many irritating bugs that would immediately be a turnoff for even an alpha release. Ugh… just noticed a bunch of composing problems…

I’ve been watching the first season of #ThePitt, and I’m enjoying. It’s made me think more about life decisions. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in the emergency room, and part of me always wanted to be an ER doctor. Instead did CS/EE and didn’t even finish because first internet bubble landed me job.

I made the right decision. I don’t think I would have survived Covid as an ER doctor. Too demanding physically and mentally.

@ivory was not able to vote in this poll in Ivory. I got an error about not finding post. I think it is because the original was edited so was trying to vote in the wrong post (that didn’t exist?). worked fine with Phanpy.

“Results from a Goldman Sachs GS survey found that households earning more than $300,000, who are in roughly the top 5% of earners, reported higher rates of living paycheck to paycheck than many who earned less.”

Uhhh… what?!

I have a 30min goal of exercise per day. I just walk on treadmill or in a loop at apartment while listening to a podcast.

Today, I somehow registered 4min of exercise already on the #AppleWatch doing very little. So only 26min is needed…

“For months, callers to the Washington state Department of Licensing who have requested automated service in Spanish have instead heard an AI voice speaking English in a strong Spanish accent. The agency has since apologized and says it’s trying to fix the problem.”

Deep sigh. 😮‍💨

Ah the sad little guy missing #Hawaii !!  

Took new #Apple #Xcode for a spin today and it’s pretty spiffy.

First they came for #Anthropic
And I did not speak out
Because I can't write toots without #Claude

If you didn’t believe Jack was a psychopath yet, here is more evidence. Block cutting nearly half of staff because of #AI. 😵

I bet they don’t run out of onions in the hotdog bar. #Costco

Sad and funny at the same time. Dude needed hard-disks in UK so he flies to New York to buy drives and fly back because it's so much cheaper in US vs UK. #Reddit #datahoarder

Someone needs to add #DeltaChat channel support in #OpenClaw. I think it would be a great fit for getting more DeltaChat users. Although maybe the wrong kind?

Here is an issue. I think they accept merges for basically anything… so…

I don’t like #hockey, but as a fan of #reddit r/prematurecelebration, I totally enjoy these Canadian YouTube and Instagram channels just completely trash-talking and then posting their reactions to the game where they lost to the US. It’s so satisfying, and I also don’t even care about the sport!

The #Olympics are just kind of magical. I guess back to 4 more years of never thinking about hockey.

Solid-state lidar. Excellent. All these car companies that didn’t abandon the tech are about to reap the awards with cheaper parts. #lidar #engineering

Sunday night I went to Talk Kaimuki for #Jazz night in Honolulu, #Hawaii. The music was good, but I think it was too small for a full setup. It was kind of a bummer that there was no keyboard or brass. Probably not possible there because of the limited space. Going to try other venues in future.
