Well damn THAT is a historical artifact. Haven’t needed portable flame for several years.
But even then I was me.

Making the tiniest bit of noticeable progress packing up or throwing away all the crap I’ve pulled out.
Time to pull out more crap.

Well I just unplugged the desktop for laptop life over the next week, so I’ll have to ponder single boot Linux when the move is done.
Steam is up to 90%+ of my library playable, with most noticed issues related to daily shader cache updates to games, and the constant dread that they’ll improve their desktop UI again.

But oy with Microsoft pushing hard to get Windows classified as malware.

@yojimbo I’m partial to a flexible dual boot system, actually.
But they keep pushing out (and locking us into) more and more questionable functionality under the Copilot sub-brand.

Email subject in my inbox: “Sam Altman Is Full Of Shit”
(me: that sounds like an ed zitron subject line)
from: Ed Zitron
(yep that checks out)
I mean the subject line is hardly breaking news, but it’s nice to hear more people say it.

First time I played the song in years, but sometimes news gets the chorus stuck in my head.

Tangent of a tangent, but thought I’d share it anyways.
If you want VS Code but not, and you’re on macOS, maybe give Nova a try.
Obviously they don’t have the budget, ecosystem, or world-eating ambition of Microsoft, but they have put together a nice friendly Mac take on the Sublime / Atom / VS Code editing aesthetic.

Oh sure catch the typo in the code after you post a screenshot of it.

Okay it was bad enough seeing this when I click a link someone shares into my feed WHICH IS NOT ON MASTODON.SOCIAL
But this here? This was clicking a link FROM MY RSS READER.
This was a link to mastodon.social/some-other-instance/
which at one point quietly forwarded the link to some-other-instance and let it be.
Why the [redacted] is Eugen itching so bad to pick up all the worst habits of mainstream social media?

I know food expiration dates are somewhat made up and mostly about peak quality before getting the next batch in, but “best by October 2016” I’m gonna pay attention to that one.
It was a bottle with chunky sauce in it.
I – I don’t think it was originally chunky.
