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

Was in #Target to buy some basics and their internet went down. Credit cards all stopped working. Wife thankfully had some cash so we made it out.

This is the kind of mischief I like to see: Biting back at businesses that screw with people’s lives. This woman had her car repossessed because paperwork was suddenly 'not enough'. She found the business missed registration deadlines and filed to take over the business name. Nice! https://apple.news/A0SNEnkMMSO-ALzhPrfYr6g

Waiting for the #Tsunami in #Oahu #Hawaii from brother-in-laws place! Just 1 more hour…

Recently moved to #Oahu #Hawaii from #Portland metro. My dad is jealous as he has not lived in Hawaii since he was a teen. He’d always talk about his life in Hawaii and how bummed he was when family moved to the mainland.

I went from a big house in Beaverton to a small 1 bedroom in a nearly 40 story building in #Honolulu. I can sort of see the ocean indirectly… but it’s definitely obstructed. I have to go to a common area to get good views.

On one hand I’m mad at the carelessness. On the other hand… probably would be a kind of low harm accident to be involved in? 😬 #thc #news
