Remember to pop your filter bubble every so often. If you think you're not in one, you're trapped in one and in for a rude awakening.

hot take, foss 

FOSS maintainers don’t owe you anything, even thanklessly maintaining the software forever.

Furthermore: It’s okay for software to not be updated with new features, as long as it doesn’t have known security holes.

It’s not a bad thing to have something that doesn’t change, even if modern software developers would like you to think that you NEED a constant stream of “feature updates” and “redesigns”.

Who should I be speaking with about senior living investment allocations on your end?

Thanks,

New robocaller trick, as captured by (probably too quickly deleted) voicemail:

20 seconds of hold music, then a voice states your purchase of a supremely expensive phone is nearly complete and that, "if you did not authorize this purchase, press '1' to connect to a customer support representative."

It's supposed to feel like you called them, instead of them calling you.

The voicemail message ended after that calm voice spoke.

In case anyone needs it, #Windows Media Player "Legacy" still works on Windows 11, still supports skins from wmpskinsarchive.neocities.org/ and is happily playing #FLAC.

I have found myself writing utterly incomprehensible spaghetti code in a completely goto-less programming language. Take that, Dijkstra!

@binney This worked for me in 2017, when someone fly-tipped asbestos in a local lane. Council did nothing for months, then I decided it was worthy of a blue plaque.

Unbelievable props to whoever's been leaving 3D printed blue plaques on my mum's road to celebrate local potholes
