  Getting to the part of the year where I am tempted to sacrifice limbs if it would stop the snow.

  Has anyone working to build either MacOS or Windows tried renaming files stored in the cloud using their default file browsers? Because this simple task is now ludicrously unreliable and has been for years.

  There is no granular control for Siri Suggestions so they basically function like noise with occasional useful signal. No, I don’t want to call into my work. No, I don’t want to enable work focus. Yes, I would like to open Overcast.

  Criminal that Canada isn’t getting the new electric VW Polo but we’re getting yet another iteration of the dumb as hell Atlas.

  The more I listen to it, the more convinced I am that Squid’s “O Monolith” is a perfect record.

  The informed read-between-the-lines version of this story is that Alberta separatists obtained a copy of the elector list and illegally used it to build a campaigning tool. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/elections-alberta-electors-database-9.7182667

  Sysco was blocked from acquiring U.S. Foods in 2015 for $3.5 billion. Something not in this article but relevant: U.S. Foods returned to the public market shortly thereafter and is now a $20 billion company. https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-dinner-got-worse-on-purpose

  There is a pretty basic argument for effective public transit, which is that driving is a skill and, like any skill, something not everyone can do well, so there should be other choices.

  “Blog” is short for “backlog”.

  I know it’s a classic record and I’m not breaking any news here, but the second half of “In Utero” remains a near-spiritual experience.

  I think it’s really neat that I am being advertised identity theft protection provided by Equifax.

  @manualdousuario I have not! Thank you!

  Do you think you would know if you urinated on your own foot and, followup question, why doesn’t my dog?

  Sometimes I think automatic software updates are frustrating but I typed “brew upgrade” like half an hour ago and it’s still going.

  I don’t know how sacrilegious this is, but substituting about one-third of the pecorino Romano in a cacio e pepe with pecorino Toscano is a real good choice, I think.

  I’m gonna make a playlist entirely of Sturgill Simpson’s closing tracks and it will be spectacular.

  I made another chart.

  Sometimes I regret pieces like the one I wrote last night because this space is full of people who think they’re being helpful by pointing out that it’s my fault for expecting a service to work correctly or as marketed.

  ‘Reclaim the Net went even further, claiming the decree represented a “formal, court-enforceable admission: the federal government pressured social media platforms to silence protected speech.”’ (https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/27/the-missouri-v-biden-settlement-is-a-fake-victory-for-a-case-they-lost/) The RTN article is attributed to a person who probably does not exist and who used to be represented on the site by an A.I.-generated image. RTN is an InfoWars-like conspiracy site.

  I have no idea why half the desktop apps I use today operate in a single window only, but it needs to stop. Let me open windows! Don’t make me toggle between tabs!
