Tech companies, please stop making things smaller and thinner, it's not 1998. We want longer battery life and our things to be repairable, instead of replaceable. If you can't think of any actual innovations, stop wasting resources!

boost this cat to federate my single-user server
edit: 515 reactions/stars to one of the top google images results for "cat" (when that isnt even how federation works!) but only one boost on the reply linking to my friend's music. i see how it is :/

5yo has been very worried lately that Partner and I will someday die, which is very touching, but he has also tearfully asked us to make sure we leave behind the PIN for the iPad before we go.
@JennyList humanity-hack: get a hi-viz vest with "event photographer" printed on the back.
very few people question it, and it makes you slightly less likely to get trodden on while low-lighting.
in case of queries, it was left over from a previous event* and seemed like a good idea so people don't bump into you while snapping
*the event in question was purchasing said hi-viz, but shhhh ;)
if that doesn't work, I break out the verbose conversation about defocus, aperture, bokeh etc.

If the government can convict Trump, they can convict any one of us who falsifies business records with the intent to commit fraud
@mattround I read faster on chonky pixels, but photos look better on many pixels. speccy prescription is huge though, so at anything other than straight-on I get noticable red/blue separation issues.
my sweet spot is still 1920x1080 or thereabouts on a 24" screen, 13-14" for laptop. 6-point text with font-smoothing disabled works for terminals.
if I have a lot of docs to read through, I have an old samsung first-gen lcd which is exactly A4 in size at 1024x768 and gives virtually no eyestrain.

These megabreaches are just emphasizing security isn’t enough you need to be de-risking by driving data purges and asking critical questions of product teams. You need customer location maybe but you don’t need to store a history of it.
