Sci-fi robot uprising movies made us afraid that computers would turn against us in order to kill us with violent force.

It happened in reality, in the form of the "Internet of Things," but they turned against us in order to kill us with monopolized advertisements instead.

@softgoat Figure out where the corners of your car are. Specifically, what's at the corners or how far away things like lines and curbs are from the corners, based on what you can see from the driver's seat. Unfortunately, IDK what can teach that except experience & practice.

@tahajin @Kat@snouts.online If that's true, then I already got GRS way back in '98. :V
(I broke my elbow, & they moved the funny bone during surgery to make way for plates & screws. Gender: MP3 player chassis.)

@lynnesbian I'm in talks for a more gender-diverse reboot.

I also discovered the hard way that textile has very different ideas from markdown about paragraph folding & what hard word-wrapping means.

I've settled on making a static website generator. Debugging the single file workflow was many times quicker than debugging the design, which I think is a good sign. With the design, I aimed to make it look just right in modern browsers, look acceptable in old browsers, & be fully conformant with HTML 5, CSS 3, & WCAG 2. That was work, but I didn't get hacky or make compromises.

@lynnesbian This is somehow still more appropriate a use for it than most Windows installers for GPL programs. IDK if I should be impressed, terrified, or in a swimsuit.

I am very positively impressed with how gracefully the HTML 5 pages with semantic tags I'm making degrade in ancient Web browsers. Both content and structure look more usable than the tag soup in layout tables I was using 15 years ago.

@k0bold @Saxxon Copied. Dell's space bar is shaped for the bulge, & Dell's arrow pad doesn't bulge out.

I'll be honest; I had no idea Logitech made that kind of keyboard.

MorningStar Farms, the company that makes frozen vegetarian meat-substitute foods? They make microwaveable meat-candy substitutes, too (Veggie Bacon Strips), & I'm hooked. The only problems are the window between underdone & burned is consistent but tiny, & if they're not transferred from one plate to another within 15 seconds of the microwave beeping done, they stick & won't come off except in tiny flakes.

Oh, hey, the store has a better selection of new breakfasts!

@JulieSqveakaroo I just noticed. It looks like they pulled the story.
