I absolutely need everyone to look at this amazing art I got from Piper (@captyns.bsky.social) earlier this week of me with my favorite guitar! :3

Dear Aunt,

Let's set so double the killer delete select all.

At a small family Pride event, a teen girl came up to me and said "I painted this, and I thought you would like it."

She was 100% correct. 😻

re: Fucking MapQuest! 

I forgot because it's been so long. There was also that one time where Google Maps wanted me to turn down a street that didn't exist, that its own satellite view revealed didn't exist, and use this nonexistent street to reach another road by crossing a deep irrigation canal and raised railroad track that not only do exist but are active, instead of using a real cross street just a km or so south of the imaginary one.

Fucking MapQuest! 

Google Maps is frequently & surprisingly wrong when it comes to rural addresses, & it has been since the beginning.

However, today I found out it's also terribly & hilariously wrong with directions, too, on roads the Street View car cased. It told me to turn down a gated dirt driveway, one that was explicitly & obviously a private driveway whats gate was shut to Google's Street View car, to get to another street on the way.

Isn't this why everyone ditched MapQuest?

politics (nazis on substack) 

every time i see some intelligent and discerning leftist writer who's still publishing on substack i get a little more disheartened. substack has published, continues to publish, and continues to defend the act of publishing, explicit nazi propaganda. it's run by the sort of "free speech absolutists" who refuse to contend with the idea that you cannot have both free speech for nazis and for jews/LGBTQ people/people of color/women at the same time

@nixCraft Time to develop and install directional waste heat radiators on the space DC so they can be used as (admittedly slow) thrusters to break earth orbit, slow down in the solar orbit, and yeet itself into the sun by falling.

The techbros would do it themselves if their slop autocomplete frames it as a way to put the space DC on a more stable and predictable orbital trajectory.

This is a good time for a friendly reminder to keep your personal and sensitive data separate from your gaming or testing hardware, if at all possible.

More plainly: If you can help it, don't keep your password manager or do your banking on your gaming computer

the Arch User Repository package alvr has been orphaned, then adopted by a threat actor who immediately updated it with an infostealer. If you have this package on your system and updated it recently, you've been compromised. This is not a result of any upstream compromise; it's just that one AUR package. in particular, the alvr-bin sister package seems to be fine.

Attached is a screenshot of an announcement from the "Linux VR Adventures" discord.

Did a presentation on my VR setup at work today just for fun, since I usually show up to meetings in VR during halloween week and everyone seemed interested.

And somehow managed to pull off the most perfect scrungle demonstration ever.

We need a VRChat scrungle olympics.

Comic Sans is the Never Gonna Give You Up of fonts.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's a perfectly enjoyable thing, it's just got so many associations with negative things that people are rarely happy to encounter it
