  Hunter Schafer and Michelle Yeoh in a new Blade Runner series? Just please stop. Make up new IP instead of repeatedly pulling a Highlander 2 on beloved IP.

  @atpfm@mastodon.social The eggplant emoji was in the Japanese carrier SoftBank and KDDI emoji sets when it was added by Unicode and Apple. In those two early renderings, it was skinny as it represented the variety of eggplant common in Japan. The “phallic” shape is therefore correct, much in the way that SWEET POTATO 🍠 should represent a Japanese variety and not the flavorless garnet yams common to American use. The originals: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2010/10132-emojidata.pdf Genmoji sadly...

  FreeBSD folks -- does anyone have a way to get periodic's emails pushed into an LDA instead of via sendmail?

  @schwa Volume up/down could have been half-height keys next to the TouchID sensor. I get where the UI folks would prefer the higher-precision slider instead.

  @schwa I've seen [one/many] vans like this https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/1sv1fb9/saw_this_on_my_evening_walk_today/ parked in SF.

  Just got the most helpful notification ever on my watch: “Slackbot: Claude has been deactivated.” Entirely useless information without naming the team.

  The incompetents at Microsoft are defaulting all of my email to spam, despite returning a 250 and despite my IPs never having been on a blocklist. Their SNDS system only lets the ISP sign up and good luck getting Comcast Business or AT&T Business to let me manage my ranges properly myself.

  I want a token refund: ● Spec landed. Let me copy it to main status/, clean up the worktree, and queue stages 2-6. ● Bash(cp …worktrees/agent-a/spec.md …) ⎿  cp: cannot stat ‘…worktrees/agent-a/spec.md': No such file or directory ... ● The spec was lost with the auto-cleaned worktree — status/ is gitignored, so when the agent made no commits, its files vanished.

  Food delivery apps should all have a “help pick dinner” randomizer.

  If you ever get a product shipped to you by Amazon that is leaking, be aware that they will both tell you to dispose of it instead of bringing into a Whole Foods for return and then also will not fix their automated system that insists it be returned to the point where they charge you for the missing item and you have to engage Executive Customer Relations to try to fix things.

  @jwz@mastodon.social Did you find a good solution that inundation of spam? Something structural? I feel like greylisting would help, but I had to give up on that because every clown that makes a website these days assumes instant email delivery to use as 2FA.

  Getting pretty fed up with having to click a checkbox for Cloudflare on absolutely every website including congress.gov. Cloudflare: figure something else out that doesn't suck as much.

  Zuck better have a really good explanation for why “pizza” doesn’t have any results on Threads when misspellings get corrected to the real results. (“Pizza” apparently was the not-so-subtle way that Epstein and friends referred to victims, likely why Pizzagate came about because these ghouls are always confessing through bogus accusations.)
