    Get you a witchy girl. They&amp;#39;re easy to please. &amp;quot;Here&amp;#39;s a feather I found on the ground during my walk.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Here&amp;#39;s a cool rock.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Here&amp;#39;s an empty jar.&amp;quot; No word yet on if my wife is Link and uses empty jars to capture revive fairies.

    Samsung had shit security and wasn&amp;#39;t doing the basics to keep up with their competitors? I think there&amp;#39;s a Futurama GIF for this one. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/03/samsung-bans-smart-tv-apps-that-share-users-internet-connections-with-strangers/

    Another day, another garbage email sent by an AI agent wasting my time. If you can be bothered to write it, why are you wasting my time reading it?

    Today I had to install child locks on the cabinets to keep our cats out. Further proof to me that cats are essentially the Lite version of toddlers. Also I had a vasectomy so there&amp;#39;s a certain irony in me installing childproofing at all.

    Police when using surveillance tech: &amp;quot;Well if you&amp;#39;re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. Only criminals need privacy.&amp;quot; Also police when using surveillance tech: https://www.404media.co/do-not-mention-alpr-usage-how-cops-are-trying-to-hide-the-existence-of-flock/

    Thanks to the library, I&#39;m reading Watchmen for the first time. Rorschach is a real piece of shit and I&#39;m weirded out by anyone that identifies wth him. I mean, they all kind of suck, tbh. I assume that&#39;s the point. I&#39;m still pretty early in. Will update as I go.

    Watching Saved By The Bell: Kelly: &quot;I want to be [Homecoming] Queen!&quot; Lisa: &quot;We&#39;ll let you know if anything happens to Princess Di.&quot; Me &amp; my wife at the same time: &quot;awwwww.... that one didn&#39;t age well.&quot;

    Library update: my local library supports RSS for the events page. The wins just won&#39;t stop coming.

    Literally the first time I&#39;ve ever heard of malicious public Wi-Fi. Not saying it&#39;s never happened before, but I feel like that should just go to show how incredibly rare it is. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-hijack-hotel-wi-fi-dns-to-steal-microsoft-365-accounts/

    Whatever you do, do NOT tell your friends and family about this new Netflix documentary that makes Kalshi look bad. That wouldn&#39;t be nice. They really don&#39;t want you to see it cause it&#39;s so unfair to them. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/25/kalshi-demands-netflix-take-down-trailer-for-prediction-games-documentary/

    France, who&#39;s federal government just had a data breach, has decided that everybody should hand over their ID to talk shit on Twitter. This will definitely not get breached or abused. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/21/france-ban-social-media-access-under-15s

    Discovered last night that Tubular has stopped being developed. I&#39;m starting to understand why some people are getting FOSS-fatigue where every project eventually just quietly goes away and you have to find a new one that does what it did.

    Is there a setting to make threads appear in-order on Mastodon? So like, instead of seeing three replies and the original post, can it show the original post first and then the replies below it? #AskFedi #FediTips

    Not to be a judgy asshole but if you still regularly use Meta products willingly what the actual fuck is wrong with you? Cue the reply guys who missed the &quot;willingly&quot; part. https://www.reuters.com/world/meta-used-ai-target-workers-with-medical-conditions-layoffs-former-employees-2026-07-14/

    What a very unhinged post from Proton. &quot;Is this data broker safe to use?&quot; &quot;Yes, and here&#39;s how to use it best. Oh btw it&#39;s kinda fucked up.&quot; Def not the angle I would&#39;ve taken. https://proton.me/blog/is-truthfinder-legit

    I wish there was a way to let a venue know how many times I&#39;ve passed up going to an event they hosted because of Ticketmaster&#39;s extortionist practices.

    Literally just had a conservative tell me that it&#39;s fine that my marriage nearly fell apart back when I was working audio/video AND doing Surveillance Report because &quot;you were sacrificing for a payoff. For independence. For your own company. Few marriages survive that in reality. It&#39;s sad but its true.&quot; I literally don&#39;t even know what to say to that. Something something &quot;sanctity of marriage&quot;?

    Tried out the new SPA Quiz from @techlore for fun. &amp;quot;Data &amp;amp; Storage&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Physical habits&amp;quot; are my weakest point. That sounds about right lol.

    Sometimes I criticize the tech community. Sometimes it delivers the laugh I need. Thank you random GitHub stranger.
