I guess the internet thinks I'm over 80 now. I didn't click to find out my 11 things.

Oh. My. Glob. Made the mistake of logging in to L*nkedIn. It’s spitting out human refrigerators at me as a solution to climate change. Keep your economic units — I mean employees — productive by shoving them in a fridge for five minutes a couple of times a day.

@thomasfuchs Even crazier that there were human interface guidelines to follow!

Google's AI summary is still at it.

@thomasfuchs I'm not sure what's what with netatalk on the Mac either. I've got a pi running an afp+smb server, but smb is always such an annoying pain. And I'm running Time Machine over the network to an AFP server. Looks like you can convince it to work with SMB as well, just that it's a big hassle. First world problems, hey? ;)

… has Apple fixed liquid glass? Is it true? Will I be able to finally upgrade? Though, that would mean losing AFP support. In a surprise to zero of my followers, I still use AFP regularly :/

Stop making the windows rounder by making them complete circles! https://mastodon.social/@rstevens/116686219603480477

Everybody seems to remember the 'don't copy that floppy' warnings, but the less-popular 'don't whisk that disk' campaign has fallen into obscurity. 💾 #FloppyDay

Lulzes. It's real.

Do you ever think about what future archæologists might try to work out about where you live, and try to recreate about who you might have been?

I hate birds. 🐦

With Amazon killing off all the old kindles, they’re super-cheap right now. And it turns out that jailbreaking is a minor faff, but not too difficult, really. This one was £10 and is going to somebody who was pondering getting an expensive eink ebook reader just a couple of weeks ago. :D

Oh good, I guess the anti-seizure drugs I take are having shortages. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c202jqn3jzro

I don't think I've ever had an 'artificial intelligence' chatbot actually help. Whenever one is forced on me, it doesn’t show anything that isn't already in the help documentation. At least they generally eventually give up and hand over to a human. Which is what I wanted in the first place.

And those horrible fake little ‘I'm thinking / I'm typing' bubbles. Why do they need to waste all of our time with those? 💬

The official rhubarb is very nearly just about ready to start thinking about maybe getting going.
