  When did LinkedIn become such an outrage generator? I look at the platform on a daily basis for work purposes and lately the algorithm is throwing me Facebook worthy idiocy designed to enrage. I haven't enjoyed LinkedIn for many years and since my plan is to retire after my current position, I'm only there for cursory purposes, but wow, does it suck.

  You can tell me to go jump off a bridge. You can tell me to get lost. You can tell me to go to hell. I don't really care. Never, ever tell me what I *can't* do

  I have installed Kitty as my main terminal application on my work issued MacBook Pro and I am full of delight.

  "We've done tons of user testing on (touchscreens) and it turns out it doesn't work. Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives a great demo, after a short period of time you start to fatigue and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It doesn't work ergonomically". - Steve Jobs in 2010 Times may change, but ergonomics do not. I do not understand the impetus for the touchscreen MacBook Pro. I feel like Apple has r...

  I’m not seeing a lot of excitement on the typical Apple discussion hot spots over the touchscreen MacBook Pro. I guess users wanted a display with a 180° hinge and pencil support.

  At work this week, on two separate occasions, when meetings for the latter half of next week are mentioned, I have quipped, "If we're not in a civil war".

  OK, I figured out I needed to export a separate version of the video from Final Cut Pro with some tweaks to codecs. I'll move away from FCP at some point, but I'm working with what I have at the moment. #peertube

  Can someone tell Agent Orange that if we now have "Super Intelligence", we certainly don't need his shit laden ass in the White House, he can be replaced with "SI". BTW, it's still Large Language Models and TFG is still an asshole

  My husband and I are flying to Orlando today. We originally were flying TUS-DEN-MCO, but then the last leg was delayed 5+ hours. So we hastily booked TUS-IAH-MCO and now we're getting to Orlando closer to the originally planned time. We were able to do this because the United app is actually very good and intuitive. Shout out to United for a good job with the technology.

  I still love my Armitron calculator watch from 1982. Honestly, I’m surprised it still works just fine all these years later. I used to be told it was too dorky, especially when I was a young man finding my place in the world and the community. Good thing my husband thoroughly loves the dorky in me.

  I suggested to the county highway department a wayfinding sign to I-10 from the National Park, as there was a turn not signed properly for that corridor. This morning I noticed the new sign had been installed. Just doing my civic duty.

  Honestly, I don't care what you do to your body to make you feel comfortable in your skin. However, I don't get this Mar-A-Lago face trend. I had less bondo in my rusted out '74 Vega.

  Old school clock systems are awesome! This is the second system at MCO Orlando Intl Airport. It’s made by National Time using their rotary drive impulse system. Previous to this was a Standard branded Faraday synchronous system. I build Raspberry Pi based master clocks to keep these systems running. #retrotech

  Folks in my hometown area along Lake Ontario are having fits on Facebook about Google Maps relabeling the lake. I remind them, “if Google Maps is willing to relabel Lake Ontario to make the government happy, just imagine what they’d do with all that data they’ve grabbed from you to make the government happy”.

  So I have an interesting mix of Linux distros running right now: Desktop: Debian Trixie with GNOME 48 Laptop: RHEL 10.2 with GNOME 49 Focused Laptop: Fedora Sway Atomic Home Servers (repurposed Mac Minis from 2011): Debian Trixie 13 I'm keeping the Desktop and Laptop in parity as far as functionality (keyboard shortcuts, etc.) goes and it's working well. I'm still working on moving my photography management from Mac to Linux, but I'm making good strides. #linux

  Linux folks: I’m looking for a photo management app that has basic photo editing capabilities. Don’t tell me about GIMP. Shotwell? digiKam? Something else?

  Welp, the used car dealer has determined it's going to cost too much for them to fix my 2015 Jeep Wrangler under warranty, so they're refunding us all the money and I no longer have a Jeep. Yay?
