  • Today my PinePower v1 (from @pine64) died after a 1-hour soldering session. Only the three middle USB-A ports still work, the QC3.0 on the left and the USB-C PD 65W on the right no longer provide anything (both onscreen and in real testing). I know the warranty is two years, but it feels a bit bad that such an appliance can die after only 5 years of mild use.

  • Was having sex with cable telly on late at night, when out of the blue All Aussie Adventures came on. Coight US interrupt us. #Straya #Australia

  • RE: https://front-end.social/@shadeed9/117326804345193250 This is very clever! I was wondering whether it’d be possible without scroll-driven animations using position-try-fallbacks and/or container queries on the measurement element, but you can’t because you need to get information from a child to a parent. Thanks to named timelines, scroll-driven animations make it possible!

  • Flew a MAX8 to EWR and lived to tell the tale

  • Good for them. I spent a few minutes over yontef flipping through a recent New Yorker about “AI”, and it was 100% buying the hype and anthropomorphizing. So disappointing. https://sfba.social/@jeridansky/117345388587552790

  • My personal devices are on iOS 18 and macOS 15. Should I go to 27?

  • We need to find a cure for economist brain rot, the condition that afflicts economists where they start to think economics is a study of natural laws rather than societal inventions. (See: Tragedy of the Commons)

  • Seriously how inept do you have to be to fuck up Canada/US relations?

  • Why must logging im to everything be such a nightmare?

  • It would be fun if instead of another dull iPhone release Apple did something truly unexpected, like the folding phone folds into a little origami like animal, or the pro models all had a shock of pink troll doll hair at the top, or honestly just *anything* surprising.

  • It’s so interesting reading some of the science fiction I read as a kid in the 1970s. Writers could imagine all kinds of amazing things - strange alien species, amazing feats of engineering, intelligent robots - but what they couldn’t imagine was women or non-white people being part of any of it.

  • You know, it’s easy to understand Republicans if you just realize that they are all Ferengi

  • The disappearance of mass market paperbacks is a loss.

  • I should say so.

  • Noted.

  • The Shining is one of if not the best horror movies. It just gets so many parts right, the setting, the Cinematography, while Jack Nicholson gets a lot of credit I think the rest of the cast is just outstanding. Shelley Duval, Joe Turkel, Scatman Crothers, and of course Danny Lloyd. #movies #horror

  • Just read a comment "Without thinking about others sex, republicans would just be racist"

  • This is very Washington State Specific. The State Ferries serve Beer in the galley and years ago they had special cups that had sort of a late 70s early 80s logo of an outline of a ferry and it said "BEER" in big letters on it. (you needed to drink the beer in the galley, So this was a way of making sure you didn't wander around the boat drinking the beer) Someone made a shirt with that design on it. And I wanted to make one for myself ever since. But I can't...

  • It seems as it's been a while since I used Gemini, and they want me back. That's gonna be a no. (Why do companies have such lame names for their AI?)

  • One big reason those on the right don't get upset about things like Susan Collins taking bribes, or Trump doing business deals with foreign powers is they figure "If it was that bad there would be an investigation, or congress as a whole would do something." They don't see that the social norms the entire system rests on are totally undermined. That social controls don't work if you don't care about them. So they can dismiss it as "e...
