@thomasfuchs I still have and use a few 2nd gen AirPort Express boxes to stream music to several rooms and to provide my wifi across the house. They were discontinued in 2018-ish but still work great (I have a spare in the cupboard, and an eBay watch in case another 1 or 2 show up at decent prices). @Bredroll

@thomasfuchs

Also 2020's tech bros: What do you mean it hallucinates? It no different from me the decade I spent microdosing LSD? It's completely normal, a perfect re-creation of a 10x engineer like me!

@codinghorror Here’s mine. (My plan is to modify the Flock You project to listen for MAC address prefixes for Axon gear, which includes police bodycams and tasers, and make the watch a cop detector)

@thomasfuchs Pretty sure someone will have ported Doom to run on that already.

@aaribaud I am now singing:

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

@dale_price You left out the “Delete my name and all my details from John’s contacts.”

@engagedpractx Do you have any futanari? No? How about some bukkake? (I’m sorry officer, what did I do?)

@silverwizard @flyingsaceur I also like the “anyone can ignore any meeting request without an agenda included.” (No, I don’t owe it to you to decline a request or let you know I won’t be there if you haven’t bothered to tell me what needs to be discussed and achieved.)

@thomasfuchs Joy Division. No. Wait. What?

@thomasfuchs You have totally missed the hint @rotopenguin was offering there…

@Hearth @gorfram @KarenWyld

You know the way Mastodon works means not everybody is guaranteed to see all of the replies (or even the same subset of replies) to any particular post? When people are on different instances with different federation policies responses are commonly not visible. Even when you aren't hitting federation polices and blocklists, your instance won't have all replies to a post anyway, if there are replies from people who are not followed by anyone on your instance.

You just need to deal with sometimes seeing people reply to things that've already been replied to, that's the nature of the fediverse.

@RHW @kcarruthers @ajsadauskas You’ve seen the Sydney real estate market, right? There are many many people “not in their right mind” buying the most ludicrous properties…

@thomasfuchs
Me: I have enough beans to last to the weekend.

Also me: Goddamn it’s Tuesday, how the hell have I run out of coffee already?

@thomasfuchs “Good news: We have finally perfected reusable rockets!” “Ok, what’s the bad news?” “Well, ummm…”

(Is that real??? Part of me wants to say “surely that’s some factory on Ukraine, not a SpaceX launch site?”, but another part of me is “Yeah well, of course. Twitter guy runs SpaceX as well, this is kinda obvious given his recent track record…”j

@thomasfuchs A casting call for models with 6 fingers...
