@rmondello i’ve been at the point with my open source projects where we can’t even afford to set up email services for years now, it’s not even that expensive, it’s just that you already pay money to run open source/free software projects and adding another monthly expense we don’t have money for is not gonna happen. and the big businesses have made it impossible to run your own email service. However, you can outhorse your email services. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/05/outhorse-your-email/

does anyone here work at microsoft who can help me with their bing search engine? It won’t display search results from my site nuclearmonster.com and I can’t seem to use the captcha to contact them via their support page. I fail the captcha every time, even with the audio captcha (which is saying a bunch of words and there are no instructions on how to use it?)

I’ve been writing online for the past 25 years and this is pretty surprising.

@feld Not sure, just seeing reports from users who have issues compiling ioquake3 and not having a built-in „which“, surprisingly

So arch Linux doesn’t ship „which“ by default?

shoutout to macos for deprioritizing OBS if I alt+tab away from it. love to drop frames on a ridiculously fast computer for no good reason

WHY WOULD THEY FLIP THE FINDER ICON COLORS????? https://eworld.social/@ismh86/114656139968663360

@w I fell asleep four times reading this episode description

please enjoy this totally normal Crash Bandicoot from an in-progress emulator for the Zeebo, a console I don't think I had ever heard of before today.

@hardpenguin13 dubbed him "CrashyB" and he is now an emote on the discord and twitch channel.

https://www.twitch.tv/mrnuclearmonster GET OVER HERE FOR LEARNING & GEOGUESSR

Me, standing next to my iPhone on my desk: „Hey Siri, open GoPro Quik“ (the app I need to turn on my GoPro webcam)
Siri on a HomePod mini in the next room: „I didn’t find an app named „GoPro Quik on Living Room Apple TV.“

It’s 2025.

Every new school year in the US: Math homework is now only posted in the mailbox in Zork. The lunch menu is now posted on a Gopher installation with an expired SSL cert. You have to use Glxgears for getting all other homework this year. On third Tuesdays you now have to Bleem into PTSA meetings.

@jwz Weird! I’ve never heard that before. Their ad supported streaming stuff is definitely weird, I don’t use it, but I’ve enjoyed the library sharing with friends and such.

@jwz huh? Is there something dangerous about it?

@jwz this looks like an interesting live tv/mtv solution that might work for pizza if you ever want a new one: https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv

It’s time for us to put away our tree, one thing I didn’t learn until this year is that these little batteries go bad if they touch each other. So, a little clear tape works to prevent the connection.

the “bourbon chicken” at Panda Express is absolutely heinous. I’m not sure I can express how foul this is with words. It smells so bad, which should have been a warning I heeded. The taste is like a well-used ashtray that some bourbon spilled in. Then it’s slightly spicy but in that inconsistent way that makes it not fun.

Watching the Phillies with my kid is great. We get all the latest ads for beer, gambling, erectile dysfunction, and hair loss. Family Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not many people know this but in California you are forced to buy music gear and start making good bops. It’s the law there and they want to bring it everywhere. Sleepy Joe tried it, Kamala wants to make it happen, folks. You know Rocky & Bullwinkle really is good television. That moose was real dumb, folks. Not as dumb as Sleepy Joe, I bet the moose could have had a better performance in the debate. There’s not many out there who could have but they force you to buy synths and pocket operators.

My therapist: You need to stop fixating on “Ford Transit XXL”. It’s not real and it can’t hurt you.
