Sunk cost fallacy is a major force in human lives at every level. The more you give yourself to something the more you sink into it. It's fun to look around and see what those things are in one's own life and the lives of others.
Beep boop writing up a new gossip protocol and a simulator to visually inspect how it will work in practice. ⌨️

remember when gtk had themes other than "landlord gray" and "landlord gray but with the lights off"? i miss that
Anthropology: Club Edition. Specimens exhibit pack mentality in order to guard against predators. Some sort of VIP is in the mix thus turning the entire event into a spectacle to be used as social media fodder. We pay to be set pieces sometimes 🤷
Haven't booted this Windows box in months and I think it updated on me :X
Vr game idea: Boxing but you swap arms. Your goal is to move your opponents torso into your fist while avoiding them doing to same to you.
Love reaping what I sow 🥰
Got around to restoring one of my puppet bridges and now I get to sit through hundreds of notifications while it catches up

OpenFlexure is an open source laboratory-grade microscope used to diagnose malaria and cancer. In this interview Julian Stirling, one of the core developers, tells us how the project evolved from its academic roots to a diverse community of people who use it, build it, sell it, teach it & develop it.
OpenFlexure is manufactured in many places to build local capacity. The next step is medical device certification, a slow but worthwhile process.

Like, saying to your mate down the pub "Oh you should get on Jabber" versus "You should get on ecks em pee pee"
One of these words sounds like a thing for talking about whatever with your mates, the other sounds like a thing for bollocking around with config files so you can talk to other people who bollock around with config files about bollocking around with config files

the Linux-compatible tax package I switched to is
https://www.mytaxexpress.com/index24.html
It's a desktop app, not an online service. I don't really want to share my tax data with online services and their backing US cloud-services providers. So works for me.
It's CRA-certified. A list of CRA-certified packages is at
Someone here pointed me to that tax software months ago, so thank you, forgotten Mastonaut.

I used Intuit TurboTax for several years, until 2024, when I went looking for, and found, a certified, very affordable, Linux-compatible tax package, produced by a Canadian small business.
Intuit noticed I didn't buy TT this year, and emailed me a survey to try to understand why.
Completing that was a LOT of fun. Repeatedly explaining that yes, I bought it 15x in a row, not buying it because they're a US company with shit data privacy, & nothing is getting me back.
TIL there's an Arch Linux distro geared towards ARM SBCs. https://bredos.org/index.html
