This morning's back yard cat was just passing through.

Recruiter text spam marked as spam. I did a search for the company they're allegedly from and it's either erectile dysfunction or Indian outsourcing so I don't think I'm really missing out on anything here (and if it really were legit they'd give more details, not read like a template, and send it by email).

@mhoye So you're saying AI needs the equivalent of Deep Space 9's Cellular Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber which sends uplifting and entertaining messages to cellular nuclei in order to prevent the cells in your body from becoming bored to death?

@jamey I'm reminded of an art teacher I had in high school who needed help getting a machine on. They were trying to just press the button on the monitor thinking that would turn the whole thing on, but the confusion was somewhat more understandable by the need to press the switch for the power strip feeding everything on the cart. I could easily imagine myself missing that. (I also showed them the computer and the power button on that).

The cat's new plan to keep me home is to just cut off circulation to my legs

@yomimono Thank you for making a stand for basic human decency.

Ordered more coffee. Not as much as I wanted to order but I think it's important that I can pay for that and green coffee is expensive right now.

@mhoye Touhou 8: Based on a true story.

@mhoye How long before a moon landing denialist is put in charge of NASA?

@fribbledom Not to be confused with a box of "box of stickers" stickers.

The cat seems to be eating more than usual today.

Bug of the day: swapped expressions for the result of a ternary.

Pair programming with the cat.

@mhoye I will always be secure enough in my masculinity to enjoy a delicious milkshake. (And the soup thing is just weird)

@gnomon No, I only live with the current cat because she broke into the house and refused to leave. I wouldn't be able to afford to adopt all the cats that hang out in my yard and the allergies would also be problematic.

Saw a new cat hanging out in the back yard today.

How is it that Apple decided that an oversized folding iPad should come with MacOS but locked Vision Pro in the iOS ghetto? Kind of suspect they'd be selling more of both if they flipped that around.

So I got a Blu Ray drive that I can hook up to my laptop. If I pop in a disc and fire up VLC it says I can't play the disc because my drive is the wrong region. I have no idea what region the drive is set to and the drive didn't come with any software to change that. But I can use a ripper to extract the raw streams and get a nice set of MKV files that play just fine at full quality without needing the discs, no problem (actually better seek perf). Why do media execs think this makes any sense?

Someone just followed me on tumblr and I'm like, wait, didn't I get rid of that multiple acquisitions ago?

Grocery run was shockingly cheap. Store must be making it up on eggs which were priced multiple dollars higher than a store 2 blocks away.
