This is one of the most cursed things I've ever seen and I love it.

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

Yeesh. Took a break from Bluesky and the internet at large for a few months only to come back and within days apparently commit unforgivable atrocities according to people who know nothing about me. Perhaps I'll just go offline again. Seems like it was better that way. Wishing you all the best ✌️

Been a lot more offline lately. Just powered on my Garuda Linux desktop for the first time in a couple of months and was reminded of some weird issues I was having before shutdown. Took the opportunity to wipe OS and give Omarchy a try and oh my...this feels really good!

I keep finding things that are like, "yes! that is how I would want that to work!" by default. It's only day 1, so it could be rose colored glasses, but we'll see.

Today I realized that for ~20 years I've been saying the name of this location in Old School RuneScape incorrectly... "BurthROpe" vs. "BurthORpe" Huh.

Crazy concept to me. What a shame! I'm not even thinking about that. I just care if the content inside the book is interesting and well-written. I can't imagine living life caring about the gender of the person who wrote a book. That sounds exhausting.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

Thanks for reaching out. Do you mind if I share this email on social media to gauge the reaction from our community?

It was 52°F in the high deserts of Nevada this morning during my morning bike ride and I couldn't agree more. Though I realistically know deep down there are hot days aplenty remaining this summer 🫠

If I may be so brave. There’s a hint of fall in the air at 76 tonight

I started playing Grim Dawn (the base game) only recently and am thrilled with how good it is. It's taking me back to better times of gaming.

Grim Dawn's final expansion introducious a notoriously dangerous foe, and Crate Entertainment isn't going to nerf it - but it will let you turn it off if you really want. #GrimDawn #ARPG #IndieGame www.pcgamesn.com/grim-dawn/up...

I don't mean to get political, but

“googling” things on the “internet” isn’t *real* research, and you shouldn’t support ANYONE who uses technology to work more effectively REAL research requires carrying a medieval torch inside of an ancient dusty library, going tome by tome til you find the esoteric knowledge which you seek

The theme switcher being under “tools” on SQL Server Management Studio is very funny to me. But I will take this program finally getting dark mode

Daily morning bike rides are going well thus far. Going for a ride while the sun comes up before everyone else is out and about is very rewarding! 🚲☀️

Regardless of whether you dip your fries in mayo, ketchup is the worst condiment/sauce for fries and I will not be taking any questions.

Every time I use it, I am reminded of how unreasonably good of an app #shottr is on macOS. And you can use it for free. This is one of the apps that I absolutely recommend paying for.

What a good day! Made green chili and pepper jack cornbread this morning, went to a farmers market, had street tacos, then golfed. Not too shabby a way to end a weekend! Shame the weekend is ending, though.
