I died choking on a carrot - final proof healthy living is a scam. I wake up in a glowing lobby that smells like eucalyptus and unresolved emotions.

In walks God, looking more like a tired barista than a thunder-wielding deity: hoodie, sandals, coffee mug that says "#1 Creator." They give me a kind smile. "Hey" they say, "Ready to reincarnate?"

I squint. "Back there? You seen Earth lately?"

God shrugs. "I check in sometimes." "Well" I say, "you really should’ve read the comments."

Here you go: https://mastodon.social/terms-of-service/2025-07-01

New mastodon.social TOS are weird.

"You are prohibited to use, launch, develop, or distribute any automated system, including without limitation, any spider, robot, cheat utility, scraper, offline reader, or any data mining or similar data gathering extraction tools to access the Instance..."

Nice!

But then:

"You are prohibited to use or launch any unauthorized script or other software"

Uhm, this is problematic. Where is this list of "authorized" software to access this instance?

"To err is human" and by that logic I'm very much human most of the time.

I don’t know my WiFi password. My fingers go into a trance and summon it from the void. Please don’t interrupt the ritual.

Got a new keyboard with a "Fn" key beside "Ctrl". I sincerely hope the person responsible was sentenced to writing novels using only a microwave’s touchscreen number pad for the rest of their life.

American news station: "We are sorry we can't show you these images, because people started spraying swear words on the walls."

Sure, you love to show us people getting shot, but swear words are just too disturbing? This country... 🤡

The last time I was this excited about a console launch must have been in 1997!

The Switch 2 launch lineup is so bad, even Wii U games are sending condolences.

TIL: you can skip through YouTube videos at double the playback speed by clicking on them and holding the mouse press.

When you dismiss your alarm at 9am, close your eyes for just 2 minutes, and then it's suddenly 10:45am. Weird time glitch.

Saw my name in stone. Paused. Checked pulse. We’re good.

You can get one of the machines I just mentioned for $50 or less. All you now need is a cheap Raspberry Pi (3 or up), install Klipper on it and its firmware on your printer.

All the heavy lifting (input shaping, pressure advance etc.) will be handled on the Pi and you'll have a machine that's capable of producing the same quality prints at pretty much the same speed as current generation printers that go for $500 and beyond.

If you have an old 3D printer kicking around at home, do yourself a favor and install Klipper on it.

It's pretty ridiculous what you can still get out of an eight year old machine like the Anycubic Mega S or an Artillery Sidewinder X1 with the help of a bit of input shaping.

The hardware hasn't changed all that much in the last ten years or so. We still use pretty much the same steppers, drivers and kinematics. It's all in the software.

Yeah, I'm the muesli that worked on tea in recent years.
