Just bought a typewriter.

You can tell it's old because it's got neofetch on it.

Why does this sound ominous and/or horny

When I die please mix my ashes with concrete, then turn me into a brick and throw me at an Amazon Warehouse

It's good that Desert Bus is on the immediate horizon, because if there's anything we need now, it's an overwhelming demonstration that good persists. For Hope indeed.

I can’t choose the reality I exist in. All I can choose is what to do with the time I have left. I choose to make cool stuff and share it with people who want it. I choose to learn for learning’s sake. I choose to live, and to exert my limited influence to make the area around me better. I honestly don’t know what more I could be asked to do.

you know, to ease myself from absorbing too much uspol stress I'm gonna watch the Robair Clip Tape

Literally 6 hours of random game show stuff, recorded by Robair Mackey, probably one of the original game show superfans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-CBDU_wWg

One of the things I miss most from #FreeBSD when I'm on Linux is being able to hit ^T to get a status line showing what a long-running process is up to. Pretty much everything in base seems to emit a useful line about what it's working on (e.g. cp will tell you the file/percentage it's up to) and the system will add output with load and task state/times.

In the screenshot, I hit ^T after the “daily" line, while tarsnap was working away quietly to itself. Works on macOS too, generally.

Since I trust you won’t cross the picket line to play Wordle while NYT’s tech workers are on strike, may I suggest instead you try out @ironicsans ‘s delightful Gisnep? It’s a daily word puzzle where you reconstruct a quotation from its component letters. https://gisnep.com

Many long years ago I held a two day Battle Chess tournament with my friend Joe at a VCF East. We had different micro computers play CPU vs. CPU chess via null modem cable without human intervention. A Windows PC won day one. An Apple IIGS won day two. Tonight I am having a bit of nostalgia by having an #Amiga battle an #AtariST.
