@freehours9 That did it, thanks. I guess Apple decided today was the day to turn that checkbox off for me. I haven't launched Scripts Editor in months.

Dear Lazyweb, since upgrading to macOS 14.7.1 my Finder menubar "Scripts" menu is missing (~/Library/Scripts/). How do I get it back? Rebooting did not fix.

@streetartutopia Sadly, it turns out that this guy is an NFT-shilling crypto-fucko.

@ariadne I sell beer.

Sketching out some sticker ideas. Thoughts?

@KraftTea @SomaFMrusty So you're suggesting a shared CDN that all the anarchic mastodon instances would share? That seems... fraught. Even discounting funding. Also it is effectively recentralization. My proposal is different, rather than caching a zillion loads how about transport it with the post and loading zero.

@docpop @godzero Not enough to discourage a car, but enough to knock a bike over! This thing was designed by Satan himself.

@docpop I have not ridden my bike on Valencia since that lane went in, because I strongly value not being dead.

@SomaFMrusty I miss when I would sometimes grudgingly go to Midway

@SomaFMrusty That's the beauty of it, though -- if you want to make a small site fall over, just post a link to it *in a reply to me*.

This system is not a good system.
