@deshipu@mastodon.technology Definitely the latter. Side effects are the whole point of anything I'm interested in writing.

Saw fine print in a watch advertisement advising potential buyers to not operate the watch between 9PM and 3AM (if you do, the watch will break). This seems like a strange and oddly specific failure mode for a timepiece.

Dinner should probably have been for 2-3 people, but I don't know how to make it smaller and the cat doesn't go for human food so I'm just going to have to eat it.

Or is this the style these days?

I've just noticed that the keys on this keyboard that display both the shifted and unshifted characters have the shifted characters below the unshifted ones. That hasn't caused me any typing difficulty since it's not like I look at the keyboard to find what I'm trying to type but it's an odd choice.

I thought I recognized the name on today's web order and sure enough, the coffee is going to another person who roasts coffee (and has used my software to help with that).

Why do pundits think anybody wants a Facebook replacement? Facebook has always been an awful confusing mess of a platform and anybody moving to something else should probably want that something else to, I don't know, NOT replicate the worst aspects of what they're leaving?

Lots of bad/lazy email scams today.

It's sad that if we got real life Angelic Layer today it wouldn't be a secret plot to collect data to create better prosthetic limbs and restore mobility to paralyzed people. It would be a secret plot to collect data to sell more advertisements.

I guess I'm not using that arm.

Today I impressed a grocery checker by knowing how much the item that didn't scan cost.

https://video.typica.us has been getting a ton of new follows since the 2.0 update.

@gnomon Punk did the walk away pretending she meant to do that thing and then came back a little while later requesting hugs.

What if all of the Star Trek made after Enterprise is also just a Riker holo-novel?

I keep telling the cat she's going to fall off the couch if she keeps rolling around at the edge of it. She should have taken the warning.

Did this email pretending to be from Microsoft really just spell 0ffice with a zero? In the subject? Fantastic! I know it's a scam without even opening it. (well, that and the fact that Microsoft would never send mail to that address)

Just in case anybody else is having this problem, clearing the browser cache fixes it.

Just got a voicemail from someone claiming to be my grandmother (my grandmothers are dead) trying to get me to not vape (Never have vaped, not interested in trying). Sent back a message letting her know she has the wrong number.
