Woot officially on my staycation. Ended up getting up early and putting some more hours in to wrap up loose ends but at least now I can disconnect and let my coworkers figure out the rest of the week.

You can tell when a computer is thinking rapidly because it goes clickclickclickclickclick really fast. You may notice computers stopped doing this around 2007, that's because that was when they got fast enough they didn't have to think anymore. Since 2007 all computers have just sort of been phoning it in. That's why you buy a more powerful computer every five years but they never *feel* like they get any faster: Loafing

I don’t want a thinner phone. I want a phone that does everything my iPhone does, has a two week heavy usage battery life, is made entirely of replaceable parts, and is durable enough to survive being put into a sock and used as a blackjack to render fascists unconscious.
Bro what if instead of apis and apps we just had straight up database access. Like, I don't wanna deal with all the misdirection, just gimmi them tables.

Microsoft Edge stops using React for some of the browser UI and it improves performance by 40-80%: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2024/05/28/an-even-faster-microsoft-edge/ 🚀
As a very "not normal" person that exists around kind people it gives me major whiplash when I realize that that experience is more of an outlier in most social contexts.
I get frustrated when folks get angry at others for being "not normal". I think "normal" people often assume that "not normal" people are attacking them or trying to invalidate them by being counter to their culture. The reality is the "not normal" person is just trying to exist with what is normal to them. I wish folks allowed more space for others to live their own reality.
Still thinking about this article.

Just a reminder folks: We can't go back to save much of the good old days. If you find something on the Internet you like, download it now!

There's still a chance the evil universe insane clown posse takes over in the 2024 election. One can dream
Re-watching this #homestuck "Lets read". This was so influential on me as a teen and contributed to me getting into computers. It's fun watching as an adult.

Do you have a book that you are currently reading? (To qualify, it has to be a book - physical, e-book or audiobook - that you have read within the past 3 days.)
Give this a boost, if you don't mind. It'd be nice to have lots of respondents.
Whoopsee. I see the warning signs of burnout. Time to drastically scale back resource expendature. Lets hope this one is straightforwars to ride out. 😝🤟
