For some reason my first thought was that Simpson’s episode with Itchy and Scratchy money.

Wired has had a number of articles over the years on these terrible ships. Worth a read. One example: https://www.wired.com/2011/08/future-warship-ran-aground/

Just to further clarify, MAGA was originally used by Ronald Reagan (and later Bill Clinton)… it’s just another thing recycled by the orange guy who has no ideas of his own.

It’s a bit dated now, but the NCAA even says sports are money losers. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2014/8/20/growth-in-division-i-athletics-expenses-outpaces-revenue-increases.aspx

The whole next week/two weeks thing is such a meme. Have a video.

As someone that despises MS Office, LibreOffice is even worse. All I wanted to do was create a simple database of contact info, donation info, and reservation scheduling for a small nonprofit. Something I could do in minutes in Access. Let me tell you the database part of LibreOffice SUCKS. You can’t even import csv’s! Best you can do is copy paste cells into fields and Hope all the formatting and data types work. And connecting to other external data sources is an incredible pain. I found MS Office on sale for $35 and threw LibreOffice in the trash where it belongs.

I skipped the Agile2023 conference last month because they chose Florida for some reason.

If I had my little way, I’d eat peaches every day

I read a great WaPo article on this recently. Basically on the left, no one can define healthy masculinity and it’s really opened up a spot for the right wing to swoop in and define it for us.

WaPo put together a list of the supposed reason for impeachment and who proposed the idea. They are all crazy pants:

Impeachment threats

President Biden: Afghanistan withdrawal (Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, others)

Biden: border security (Greene, Reps. Bob Gibbs, Bill Posey and Andrew Ogles)

Biden: Hunter Biden’s business dealings (Greene, Ogles, Reps. Jim Banks, Claudia Tenney, others)

Biden: covid-19 eviction moratorium (Greene, Gibbs)

Biden: selling oil from strategic reserve to foreign nations (Greene)

It’s all good. I only know because I’ve been a paying customer since pretty much the beginning.

I get the sentiment, but Flickr hasn’t been owned by Yahoo for a while. They were purchased by the folks that run SmugMug.

I work at a top 10 US financial institution. All devs/engineers and ux folks get issued macbooks as standard. Probably been two years now that this has been the case. Being able to use all the unix command line stuff, along with more reliable machines, longer expected life, and higher productivity (those M series processors rock) make it a no-brainer. HP zbooks only go out to the people that specifically request them or are reliant on the few apps that do not have either a web based option or macos equivalent (its going to be the web based option that solves this over time I expect. Prob not a lot of incoming ports).

their perception of california is so unrealistic it may as well just be an alternate reality

As someone who works in Minneapolis. I totally feel this. We get this too. Apparently we’re supposed to be a burnt out crater of a city where everyone is murdered.

non-technical people looking to use an alternative operating system

Umm, you don’t see the oxymoron there?

Sponsorblock for YouTube was a game changer for me. Highly recommend it to everyone.

For sure, turn off wifi on the tv and also block it’s MAC address at the router. Plug in your trusted streaming box of choice via HDMI and only use that (Nvidia Shield, AppleTV, Roku, AndroidTV, Homebuilt Plex box, etc).

Family group chat and shared albums in iOS. Solve 90% of the needs.

I guess that’s nice. I installed cloudflared myself and get the same results that way with my pinhole. But it was an extra step.
