Updated my resume for the first time in like 15 years, and it's funny how much tech I could safely remove. Yeah, I'm fluent in cvs and svn and git.. *deletes first two*

Stop voting for these assholes. Get registered as a democrat, actually vote in the primary, and let's get some actual progressives. https://hellgatenyc.com/hochul-and-adams-agree-mask-ban-on-the-subway

Good fucking riddance. https://social.masto.land/@dave/112589226000375560

I notice that despite large companies at this point just constantly committing crimes, the police aren't stealing *their* shit. https://mastodon.world/@maddad/112430825655500892

12yo: "and then I rolled a 7. That's enough to kill a bunch of the clerics. The evil dragon..."

Me: "Wait, I have a question."

12yo: "So the evil dragon starts to.."

Me: "Hold on."

12yo: "What?"

Me: "When you're playing D&D and you roll a 7, do you ever turn to [one of the other players named] Seb and say, "Hey, I rolled a Seb-en!'?"

12yo: 🤨
12yo: 😒
12yo: "No."

Me: "..just asking."

There's definitely some kind of slow leak of file descriptors in #mastodon 4.2.8.

Heads-up to social.ridetrans.it users: Mastodon seems to be misbehaving. I just restarted sidekiq, and it's processing the backlog now. But I don't think I necessarily fixed the issue, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.

We got the cats some cardboard scratchers. They said, "Hey, thanks for the comfy beds!" (and proceeded to scratch things right next to the scratchers instead of the scratchers themselves) 🙄

@clacke Yes, that is what I used, combined with https://gitlab.com/TestingPlant/roblox-on-waydroid-guide (ignore the binder and libndk stuff on that page). I installed libhoudini and microg using waydroid_script.

Got #Roblox working under Debian for my kid. #Waydroid is pretty neat, I've gotta say!

@alienghic Yeah, it's ridiculous. Apparently developers think so, too: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/provide-a-x86-binary-of-the-android-client-for-better-chromeos-compatibility/2324033

If they ever do start supplying x86 builds, that'll make setup under waydroid super simple! Most of the struggle was dealing with the libhoudini stuff.

@notjustbikes Mute or unfollow people who post too much.
Mute boosts from people who boost too much.
Follow hashtags instead of people if you just care about certain topics and not life updates/shitposts.
Create lists of people (although I don't do this myself), and read those lists instead of your timeline.
See popular toots in the Explore section (caveat: limited to what your local instance sees).

I would like to see an Explore feature limited to most popular toots from people you follow.

@feld @ingalls @edebill @voiceofunreason Have you been to NYC? Drivers here often confuse the horn for the gas pedal.

That's not "irony." That's exactly the kind of shit that protesters are warning us about.

We will be disabling remote attestation (Web Environment Integrity) in #Debian's #chromium package.

Our newest #foster, #Jetson, says hello!

He is (by far) the friendliest #cat we've ever fostered. The dude just loves getting pets. If you're in the #NYC area and looking for a new friend...

Some asshole teenager on a citibike buzzed me on the sidewalk. I was mad for all of 10 seconds before I remembered that in most places in the US, that same kid would have a learner's permit and would be buzzing me in a crosswalk with his parents' 2 ton SUV. Or worse.
