Fucked up my phone can't listen to the radio.
Been exploring physical media as a way to let out some anxiety and emotions. Text with imagery. Ephemeral and fleeting like a fit of rage.

one of the least well hidden rituals in the death cult known as capitalism is the deliberate spoiling and discarding of useable food

U.S. Police kill more than 1100 civilians annually—unprecedented in the developed world.
A new app called TurnSignl, built by Black civil rights lawyers, deescalates police interactions with civilians & get everyone home safe.
Here's how it works.
1. Download the app
2. When pulled over by police, face time a lawyer on demand via voice activation. The call is also auto recorded
3. The lawyer guides the convo.
Download TurnSignl here or gift it to a loved one for free: https://www.turnsignl.com/gift

There should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican, steals some relics, and gets away on a boat while a bunch of men in golden robes shake their fists and shout their strange language.

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.
If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:
Go to your device Settings
Press "Google"
Press "Ads"While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
Press "Ad Privacy"
Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)
If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.
EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

One thing that bugs me about apps is that I can't leave them open to a page and navigate to another page in the app in another instance (window, sessipn w/e) That's just such a useful feature and mobile app standrds (in terms of what folks do not what's powerful) have made it basically impossible
@yhancik Nice! Yeah I think installable desktop software has this more often. Basically never see it in web apps and SaaS stuff though.
@hank @Myndex I dunno about Torobto but I can get most Ottawa squirrels into my hand with a bit of patience (and some peanuts). There's some vocalizations and hand gestures one can make that are similar to what they do to communicate with each other. I'ce read a bunch of stuff about squirrels and carry peanuts on me everywhwre I go specificallt to commune with them. Generally chipmunks are easoer though if you give them time.
Dang it'd be neat if everyday software had a "credits" section the way videogames and movies do.

Years of depression and ADHD has resulted in massive amount of clutter in *every* room of my house.
In the process of decluttering, I "create" empty space areas to move items into while I organize/sort/get rid of those items. A sort of swap space if you will.
The swap spaces change all over the house as I move things in and out of them, slowly getting more and more organized and things under control.
I realised today I'm literally defragging my house lol.

real reactions from database administrators. they have played us for absolute fools
I wish humans would turn down the light pollution in the night. Hard to enjoy the dark with all the floodlights and stuff blocking my view of the sky
@makeworld I find fuzzy match and glob search from the cli can make stuff lretty fast even if you have deep nesting
