Wow! ❤️

You said nothing this year, right? RIGHT!?

😂😋😉😳

Assuming you’re talking about a laptop…

Pro. 100% It has a fan to keep cool during your work sessions, and with that much going on you’ll need that fan.

I assume also that you need to be portable for some reason. If not check out the new Mac mini.

Vans don’t have trunks asshole!

(A paraphrasing of “Castles don’t have phones asshole!” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show …)

As a kid we went to the University of Michigan hospital every six months for my brother.

One visit we go to the cafeteria for lunch as usual, and there were signs everywhere warning that microwave ovens were in use!

My mom asked one of the staffers what the signs were for and she told us that it turns out these new devices could affect pacemakers in a real bad way.

“We found out the hard way when a few patients went into cardiac arrest right here in the cafeteria! Took them awhile to connect the dots…”

“Oh my god,” my mom said! “Did you lose anyone?”

“Oh no honey…there ain’t no better place to have one of those than in a hospital!”

It would be years before we got one at home, and nobody we knew had a pacemaker.

Trunk-or-Treating!

FTFA: “Launched federation for self-hosters and developers. Now there are over 1,000 other personal data servers (PDS) outside of Bluesky.”

Sorry you unknowingly took a stress bullet for the team! However I really appreciate the heads up.

One thing I am always aware of are apps that want permission to access Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi and/or Networks.

Even though Bluetooth is very short ranged it can still be used to tie you into a location within a database based on other database records that are more detailed.

Yeah, I love playing you “My Great Dog-sitting Simulator” (not a real app) but you do not need access to my BT. The OS handles sending your audio to my headphones!

Well bsky.app has added almost a million users in 1 day! They actually call these events “EMEs” (Elon Musk Events).

It’s a great site, that I highly recommend you check out.

You may have heard of Folsom Street Fair? The sex & kink positive, all-inclusive, world-famous, 2-day long, San Francisco street fair?

For the first time in over 2 decades of attending my husband and I were turned away from the new, unmarked, Trans & Non-Binary Gate & Safe Space because we weren’t, nor did we identify, as such.

Wow!

“Minus is a finite social network where you get 100 posts—for life.”

Very true! I recognized one name in your post. The rest sound too much like dwarves from Tolkien.

And “1984” was a warning, not a “How To”…

I just read an article about his extended family in Appalachia and they’re calling him a “Shillbilly!”

I quite liked that.

Yeah…

Hey! Perhaps they’ll use A.I. to weed out the A.I. generated bits.

I think that’s the “25-times faster” bit. They seem to be in a hurry to collect as much human-generated data as possible.

Ah, the ol’ “Brute Force” hack.

I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.

The man is without ethics or morals.
