Recently switched my primary #monospace #font for my IDE and terminal from SF Mono to Input Mono. Damn what a neat font this is! It has this slight edgy, sharp look. Love it! 🤩

The upshot was that my appt. was needlessly longer because: a) Standard human dental checkup b) Compare results against #AI c) Human re-check to investigate AI results d) Confirm that AI results were bollocks e) Discussion about AI being bollocks and dangerous.
Everything after A was unnecessary

Deep in the woods, where the sunlight only penetrates in small patches on a steep slope.

I've been looking for this dumb sign for years and it finally reappeared on my Facebook feed. Behold, the Tingly Bridge Warning.

More AI slop:

Me: "#Frankenstein ... wow, what a monster."
Them: "That's a popular misconception, Frankenstein was the scientist."
Me: "That's a popular misconception. Frankenstein was the classic #techbro who didn't give a damn about the consequences of what he did and ignored all common ethical considerations. By all reasonable modern-day measures he was indeed the damn monster."

Had a chat with a friendly branch, because that's a thing, obviously

AWS is short for "AW SHIT" which is what you yell when you get the first monthly bill

Are the folks in charge of the weather control lasers planning more aurora tonight?

Not as bright to naked eye, but amazing to see it at all with all the street lighting etc in that direction

Excited to be printing and framing pieces for The Milk Jug Cafe in Aberdeen, which will go up this week.
All pieces on display will be for sale in the cafe and you can also buy unframed prints from my website

I never use Caps Lock, so I disable the Caps Lock key completely with xmodmap, to avoid hitting it by accident.

Occasionally my X server gets into caps-lock state anyway. (Usually some complicated stunt was involved, like attaching x11vnc to the display remotely.) And then I can't turn it off again using the Caps Lock key.

So I wrote a tiny X client that lets me type 'xcapslock off' at a shell prompt …

… and then I had to make an alias to it, called 'XCAPSLOCK OFF'.

NASA would do well to recognise that humanity might not actually make it, and that an excellent back up plan would be to leave a message on the Moon about where and how we went wrong for the dolphins to read when they eventually get there

I was a strange kid.

I grew out of it though.

Now I'm a strange adult.

Just had to tell someone, 'cuz I'm doing this in total isolation. Laboriously salvaging and pulling nails from ancient wood from demolition that would have otherwise just gone to the dump. Redwood from 1890-1940s California, when they unconscionably cut down trees over a millennium old ;_; light as a feather, stronger than steel. Milled ages ago and structurally unfazed. Only a culture beyond salvation would treat this priceless material like trash.

Y’all know that CNN has a text-only web interface, right?
