I dumped Twitter in the first wave after Elon took over and found a new home on Mastodon. Deleted my Reddit accounts during the API crisis (I still visit but no longer contribute) and spend some time on Lemmy (haven’t yet found the community to be as engaging). Sadly there isn’t a viable alternative for YouTube yet.

If it makes you feel better I have a presentation to deliver in three weeks and so far I have created the deck in Google docs and given it a name. I’ve known about this for a month.

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I got jiggy for the first time in five years. After our third kid she just went completely off it and we’ve been in a dead bedroom situation ever since, she told me how she felt and despite my frustration I understood and respected her wishes. A couple of weeks ago I just opened up about how I was feeling unloved and then blam! It happened out of nowhere. I was in a daze and couldn’t believe it. Now I’m scared it’s going to be five years before it happens again.

Carbon offsets are a scam. John Oliver did a piece on them last year. Lots of it goes to existing forests (which doesn’t help offset new carbon usage) or to the development of mono-culture forests which have all sorts of issues.

Why is Disney obsessed with remaking everything “live action” we love Disney for their animation, they’re good at animation! Is live action cheaper or something?

Finish a task without getting distracted after five minutes man.

I really enjoy watching videos on YouTube, there are so many great creators that I love, however I find myself getting drawn into Shorts and I just get stuck doom scrolling for eternity. Can anyone please recommend an iOS YouTube client that doesn't give me access to Shorts?

I needed a presence sensor for my home office, so I took a Gonk Droid model from Printables, hollowed it out using negative modifiers in PrusaSlicer and then spent waaaay too long painting and grunging it up I also manually wrapped wires around the legs to give it a bit more visual interest. Inside is a Pico W, a mmWave sensor and some LED's - it communicates with my home automation server running Home Assistant (using MQTT) and controls the lights in my office.

If you get sick with ANY infectious disease you should stay home and isolate. End of.

Right on the nose. My wife sent me the news when it broke and my response was… “again?”

It’s the same with electronics and people holding the hot part of a soldering iron

Friday night. My kids made me watch Up.

It’s worse in China. WeChat is EVERYTHING.

By “long illness” do they mean the distance between the hotel window and the concrete?
