- Comment on I ain't got no time to maintain some stupid little plastic bread clip. I got a landlord to feed. 5 days ago:
That looks like one of those gifs of people doing impressions of birds, but I don’t think it is.
- Comment on bird based storage 1 week ago:
I haven’t yet watched the video, but from the posted images, it looks like they converted the image itself to a frequency spectrum, so no image format encoding was involved before it reached the point of being audio.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 1 week ago:
After removing them (or even if there was nothing to remove) I test out links I’m sending in a private browser window to check that they would work for other people.
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 3 weeks ago:
And there’s are those gadgets that have a USB-C socket but don’t have the correct circuitry, so that they only work with a USB-A to C cable.

For newer pixels there’s a feature that runs a local AI to monitor the conversation and will alert you if the conversation seems scam-like.
Telling grandma to be suspicious of buying Target cards to pay the IRS might be an actual good use for AI.

Pykrete was invented by the cousin of the science TV presenter whose voice can be heard on Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science”.

- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 1 month ago:
My autistic son would happily play in the park. Just once every few months he would decide that “now is the time to run” and just take off as fast as he could in a straight line. How would that play out in a busy street.
People can’t imagine that: so much of the time things are calm, straightforward to handle, but if EVER you let your guard down for a second at the wrong time, you’ll end up on the news as a “tragic story of grieving negligent parent.”

I sometimes imagine some introvert developer at Zoom getting a monkey’s paw: “I wish I worked at one of the most well-known companies in the world, and I wish I didn’t have to keep going out and meeting people!”
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 2 months ago:
I use rsync.net
It’s not the lowest price, but I like the flexibility of access.
For instance, I was able to run rclone on their servers to do a direct copy from OneDrive to rsync.net, 400Gb without having to go through my connection.
I can mount backups with sshfs if I want to, including the daily zfs snapshots.

I think that he wore gloves, then they decided that they didn’t like it. So someone had to paint hands over the gloves and they didn’t try to re-scales them.

Fantastic! I wish that I was cultured enough to fully appreciate it.

LPT: instead of ironing, sleep on the shirt in the shower… Or something like that. I forget.

Whichever version it is, I hope that one day I can delete a mail, change my mind, press ctrl-z and it will actually undo the last delete and not some random one from earlier in the day.

This was explained in Roger Rabbit:
Eddie Valiant: You mean you could’ve taken your hand out of that handcuff at any time? Roger Rabbit: No, NOT at any time, only when it was funny.
- Comment on He's so negative. He's so weird. 5 months ago:
I have an exercise app that occasionally asks my overall mood, like “Have you recently felt overwhelmed?” Do you feel anxious a lot?"
I sent them feedback explaining that they never ask if there’s a good reason that I might be feeling down: I’ve variously had reason to think I might lose my job, nearly lost sight in one eye, nearly evacuated from wildfires, etc. Yes, I’ve felt “anxious a lot”!
