I searched "habitable planets" cause I needed to drop the name of one in a story and Google gave me some interesting suggestions.

@foone not sure about the one with the blue stuff, though, sounds like a trap

@foone did a tardigrade provide the definition of habitable or something

Hah. Today I got two emails, in this sequence:

  1. Roku saying they looked at my resume for a test automation engineer and turned me down
  2. LinkedIn telling me that Roku is recruiting for test automation engineers in my area!

GAH. working with the raspi pico just makes me angry because of how confusing and unhelpful it can be. like I wrote some code, which I know works (because I've used it before!) and I copy it onto the device. I reconnect the device and... it doesn't enumerate. it doesn't even error. it just acts like there's no USB there

@foone I like to connect two of the pins to act as UART and configure the SDK to do C stdio over that (there's a CMake function for it)

I don't wonder when some fool will integrate an AI assistant into a car, on the outside, so people can talk to your car and ask it when you'll be back or whatever.

But I wonder how quickly there'd be an exploit where someone could talk your car into unlocking itself

if redbox is going bankrupt, hopefully I can finally get my hands on one of their kiosks.

I just discovered that my label printer apparently disconnects from USB while printing. So for every label I print, there's a disconnect event, then a re-enumeration event.

huh.

You know how some dating sites have a "I don't want to see or be seen by straight people" button?

job sites need that but for AI

@foone Well, now I need to wonder if the AI bubble is basically a backlash to remote work, in that the "no AI button" is to print your résumé and hand it to a receptionist...

The one thing I kinda miss from Twitter is that thing where you'd yell about the poor service of Kaiser Permanente or something, and @ KaiserHelpRep would show up in your mentions because they didn't like seeing their name rightly dragged through the mud by accounts with a hundred thousand followers. That was kinda fun.

We all like to joke about July being "Gay Wrath Month" but it's actually Disability Pride Month, so have the Disability Pride Flag from VGAPride and my AST Premmia LX MS-DOS machine

I wonder if there is a pride month for people suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction 🤔

I am still a drunkard, but i quit psychostimulants and other illegal stuff, so i guess i have something to celebrate 🙂

@foone maybe the workplace but it just occurred to me that I would spent good money on a free browser.

Incidentally because I pay for the current browser as well in one way or another.

Netscape Navigator wouldn't be even in the bottom half of my browser list.

Fun fact: the "megaflop" is an obsolete unit of storage capacity, equivalent to a million 3.5" high density floppy disks, or 1.34 terabytes.

@foone I vaguely remember pushing for 'floppy furlongs' as a unit of space capacity many years ago (equal to the storage capacity of a furlong of stacked 1.44MB disks). Sounds like it needs refreshing

I'm gonna design a split keyboard where the halves connect using SCSI, using 68-pin centronics connectors.

This is just to restore balance, given all these mechanical keyboard nerds with the quick release aviation cables

@foone Do we also get a SCSI mouse? 🙃

(Bonus thought: SCSI flash drives, looks just like a terminator!)

@foone I still have the cables, not sure if the pci scsi interface will still work. Perhaps under the Debian? Please let me know once the prototype becomes available, wish to test the thing :D
