Nonces and muzzies! Terrifying!
Nonces and muzzies! Terrifying!
this is what pulp fiction was made for.
I hate these, too. I decided to put a compact computer in our bedroom (already a bad plan, I know) to quickly check the security camera at night (I rolled my own, no phone app). I plugged in a mouse I had laying around. I discovered the first night when this particular mouse does not have its custom drivers installed (gimme a break, this is Raspbian not Windows!), it freaking blinks, and in the dead of night it’s as bright as a flashlight. Blink. Blink. All night long. I never noticed before because, wackily enough, I rarely compute in complete darkness.
I also have a USB desk fan I thought I might run at night and yes, it has blinky lights when charging. F that, I bought an old Caframo Dragonfly instead… best compact fan ever made, first produced in the 1950s.
fire-breathing dragons, they are!
I think I could get away with this at my office, as long as I didn’t bring a shepherd’s crook.
I really enjoyed hearing “enshittification” in the voice of Ian McKellen as Gandalf in my mind 👏👏
Hats off, that’s both an argument for the use of third party apps and for eliminating third party apps at the same time…
Definitely Fall for me. It’s a great time of year if you’re a gardener- finally seeing the literal fruit of your labors. The fall festivals are fun and the weather is typically perfect for a street fest. Mosquitoes die at some point so great for get togethers with a small- or large- fire. Plus I confess I am fond of winter being a birdwatcher and loving the snow when I don’t have to drive in it. So the expectation during Fall makes me pretty psyched.
Thankfully the price of my YT free account is still only the cost of everything I’ve ever written in email or a web browser so all good 👍
