Same train. Same.

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

hate when this happens to me

See if you can name 'em all!

Every study ever: Overworked employees are less productive. Employees who work from home are just as productive as employees who work in the office. The evidence is indisputable.

Managers: I see. But I have a hunch that the complete opposite is true.

This isn't some currsed photoshop or a hack job - this is a real USB to TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) cable that came with a real product in the year 2000. The InterAct GoPad FX was a portable pad intended for laptops; there's an unnecessarily over-engineered socket and slot for that removable cable to slip into. USB Micro-B was still years away, Bluetooth was barely a thing, and any other wireless solution would be too bulky, so they chose an existing low-cost connector for the job - TRRS!

Owning a 3D printer in the vintage computing hobby is absolutely life changing. You go from being surrounded by a massive disorganized pile of old machines, to being surrounded by a massive disorganize pile of old machines, but none of them are missing port covers anymore.

Are you familiar with the notion that accessibility improves the experience of something for everyone, not just for people with disabilities? I thought of it again today when I saw the below pic posted by @vaurora with the caption ‘New gender just dropped’. And, like, I’ve seen a hundred of these, some amusing mistakes, some practical, but this one really resonated. Shared it with a gender-non-conforming friend who loved it, _but so do I_. I’m very comfortably cis, but _I’d_ choose that option.
