My next machine will be Intel. I'm sick of this 80-minute battery life / 50-watt idle desktop AMD crap. I suppose AMD could follow suit, but I want to reward Intel for listening to customers and fixing its shit. Competition is good.

Move the page scroll bar slightly to the left, as that breaks "move mouse cursor to the right of the screen blindly, hit button, move mouse downwards".
Looking at you, #gitlab[1] (where I need the scroll bar often, as the pages for issues are really long, so using the scroll wheel is not really a option.

The Trump administration is again trying to send the wrongly deported

and urging a federal judge to dismiss a bar on his removal, according to legal documents filed over the weekend.
Abrego Garcia, of Maryland, has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica,
which will accept him as a refugee,

I've renamed my web browser project from SWB to Sunstone.
The sunstone was a translucent mineral prized by Viking navigators because it had a natural property that polarized light, making it possible to see through the haze and find the sun on a hazy day - quite common in the North Atlantic. I liked the connection to a primitive navigation tool.

We went out for dinner to a local sports type bar thingy and as we were leaving the waiter asked if we were coming in on Sunday for the Gold Medal hockey game. Apparently they open at 8am and bars across the country have been given provincial authorization to do the same. So I would stay off the roads tomorrow after noon as drinking and driving becomes an Olympic event.

The Zeroing of Knowledge: When Everything Is Known, What Remains Worth Learning?
Knowledge used to be expensive. It cost years of apprenticeship, tuition in the tens of thousands, decades of practice, and, more than anything, the brutal currency of time. A physician spent twelve years beyond high school before being trusted to cut into a human body. A lawyer spent seven years and a bar exam before being permitted to argue before a judge.
Modest proposal: For even more public health benefit, ban bars from serving alcohol too. There are plenty of delicious N/A beers and mocktails that they can switch to serving exclusively.
(this is a shitpost and not a serious argument against the proposal)

Today I peeled away the already wrecked metal casing of the Samsung BAR USB drive, noticed that the actual USB thing really is just the µSD-card sized blue insert inside the metal case, plugged it into a USB port, wondered why it didn't show up, took it out and burned the hell out of my fingers, because it was HOT 😂, destroyed the little sucker with pliers and tossed it. 🗑️
I wonder if it was broken before or if they actually used the metal casing for some electrical connection? 🤔

My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.

But the defendant doth that plea deny,
And says in him thy fair appearance lies.

But after today's 78 mm (and counting), February now already stands at 1373 mm, that's more than double in any February before!

When the Sun was born 4.6 billion years ago, the star was located more than 10,000 light-years closer to the center of the Milky Way from its current position.
Scientists know this based on the Sun’s composition of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium,
which is more consistent with the metals found within the inner regions of the galaxy.
The missing piece of the puzzle, however, was how the Sun managed to get past the Milky Way’s central bar
