“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.”

You learn so much about a system from it! For example, TIL you can deploy a systemd-sysupdate repo quite easily and then pull from that repo from a second workstation. Now when you make a change to any part of say GNOME OS, you can build it on system one, and just `updatectl update` on the second system and it will fetch it P2P. I know I can set up stuff like an APT mirror or use a custom A/B update system with Buildroot, but this is so much easier and foolproof!

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.

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.

I can’t find corn tortillas in #Hawaii without guar gum. My wife swears they taste wrong, so she is thinking about making them from scratch now… so good? 😂
