Goodbye forever Windows. Switching to #fedora for now.

The actions of ICE are unconscionable. Minneapolis demands justice and accountability. #JusticeForRenee

I keep running to the crossroads, but I always chicken out and turn around. Wish I could see the future

Yeah, don't reinvent the wheel, but do rewrite it if it's a shit wheel.

We need trust busters

Religious freedom doesn't give you a blanket ability to deny your constitutional duties as an elected or appointed official. If our governor religiously believed his term was more than 4 years doesn't mean he gets to stay 5, and Kim Davis has to give people their damn marriage licenses.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Can't wait to meet with the IRS to resolve ambiguous guidance to an obscure problem 😬

Big-endianness is evil

My life isn't mine. I want my life.

Forcing yourself to keep eating when you're not hungry is actually the worst thing ever

I feel like I'm living in an insane asylum. Everybody sees what's going wrong, but nobody's doing anything. Too much to lose, until it's all gone anyway. Me included.

Fairness does not mean treating everyone exactly the same—it means accounting for different circumstances. It is not discrimination when a cancer patient gets free ice cream and you don't. Due to affinity bias, the removal of DEI policies will lead to uniformity, inequality, and exclusion.

Nothing brings joy like a 3 hour phone call with your health insurance :)

Health issues really have a way of placing a lens of despair over your eyes. And it isn't even that bad for me yet.

I don't know if rich/poor is the right lens to use to improve society. It's certainly a problem, but I don't know if an us/them mentality helps. I feel so confused about what actions can cause *lasting* change for the better.

My brain is mush today. Wishing firm brain on the rest of you.

I just learned about "the metacrisis" idea. I have absolutely no clue how this problem could be solved, but I think it's worth reading about akhilpuri.substack.com/p/metacrisis...

It's a travesty how much social media has become a hate machine. Can platforms promote positive social interaction while being profitable? I hope bluesky can be like that.

I'm realizing more and more that the answer to extreme political rhetoric from people is not to try and debate them, but to feel love, empathy, and especially humility. I think maybe people are more open to ideas when you humble yourself. I know that swallowing my own pride is so painful

Well, this is unfortunate

Looking at the 5-10 checksum errors on all drives in my brand new NAS has actually left me dead inside. 🤞 hopefully just a power supply problem.

When I'm alone, I feel _alone_.

Civic duty accomplished ✨

I want to love humanity, but I find it so hard sometimes. We know what are problems are, and yet we don't seem to make a dent in them. If we just work together, we could easily tackle climate change, homelessness, addiction, etc. I know we can... and yet we don't.

The fact that hot showers are bad for your skin is actually the worst thing ever.

If ya like a little bit of funk, you should check out "Dopamine" by Franc Moody.

Leaving the room is a surprisingly effective way to get a puppy to stop biting. Ya just keep leaving longer and longer.

When is there gonna be a laptop where the whole area *below* the keyboard is a touchscreen with pen support? Virtual trackpad that could be moved around. Somebody has to have thought of it.

Step 1 to beating anxiety: become a nihilist. Step 2... does step 2 really matter though?
