Computer problems are recursive. As soon as you gain knowledge that is sufficient to solve your previous problem, you'll start using computers in more obscure ways and start getting even more obscure problems as a result.
@demoparty_no :-D complaining about my location, not yours
@aldroid hmm, maybe some remote call to provoke *every* wifi-connected device containing a speaker withing earshot to Rickroll them for 30s then an anmouncement naming them as the cause, and that it doubles each time.
best case for them, they live alone in the woods and just get annoyed. worst case, they are on the bus...

I'm continuing to put my favorite comics up on Mastodon. Enjoy this helpful guide to bird photography.
@demoparty_no I'd love to do this (networking monkey amongst other stuff) but... Norway?
@stavvers (if you do this in Germany I believe they will take the cans for recycling before handing you advice leaflets for help with alcoholism)
@stavvers drink them before leaving the shop. make sure you don't have far to drive though.

UK politics, Hieronymus Bosch, PartyGate
#PartyGate being back in the news has reminded me about when my mind wandered from the Downing Street garden party to the Garden of Earthly Delights, and insisted I made this.

I remember the olden days before social media, when most Internet communities were built around message boards.
Both lightly-moderated and heavily-moderated communities were fun for different reasons, but what I discovered over time was that if moderation falls below a certain point, the result is always pedophiles and Nazis.
As I predicted, #Twitter is basically a few pedophiles short of being the next 4chan.

My husband was given a bird feeder with camera for his birthday recently and it's proving very delightful...

The best thing I've seen written on Musk and Twitter is this random YouTube comment (that I can't find a way to link to directly)
@Wildheart_Baby give unto Caesar all that is caesium. and a big cup of water to wash it down with.
