Groaning at probably having to finally “up”grade to Liquid Glass because of the latest round of iOS security breaches, hanging out with my parents and wincing at the cartoonish look of the latest macOS on their screens, and…
…I’m just once again hit with my periodic nostalgia for the days when it was possible to pin the Dock to the upper corner instead of having it always centered (and thus having my pinned apps always appear in a predictable location).
These little things are so big when one lives with them every day.

Waarom zou het in vredesnaam 'slim' zijn om al die speciale infrastructuur afstoten van Rijkswaterstaat naar een gemeente?
Alle honderden gemeenten hebben geen (te weinig) kennis. Even los van alle kosten die niet meegegaan zijn naar die gemeenten.

Can Autism Spectrum be a superpower? Well, sometimes, I guess.
It's the same kind of superpower like having a chaingun in place of your hand. There are days you feel like you definitely ought to use it. And it sounds really cool in theory.
But it's not very useful if you need to open a jar. And I dare say that in my life, jar-opening situations are far more common than situations needing a chaingun. On top of that, most people don't really appreciate *you* having it, as if you had a choice.

What happens to cigarette butts after 10 years in the environment
Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter worldwide. Trillions are discarded every year in cities, parks, beaches, along railway tracks and roadside environments. Despite their small size, these remnants of smoked cigarettes represent a persistent form of pollution because their filters are made primarily of cellulose acetate—a plastic polymer derived from natural cellulose and highly resistant to environmental degradation and produced as tightly packed microscopic fibers.

“The landlord put it up, yet the tenants have Green posters in the window. It’s a sign of the state of politics now – Labour prioritises landlords and Greens prioritise tenants.
“Labour know this election is now Reform versus Green but of course they don’t want to lose too badly and they’re fighting for every vote, even if that means Reform win.”

The irony of finally having a day that it's sunny enough to run the dryer without having to pay for kWh, and then just hanging the clothes on the line, because at this point, why not cut out the middleman?

I love what happens to my server logs when somebody posts a link to my site on Fedi. The domain names…!

So I finally (what, a decade behind popular trends??) am having reason to experiment with actual use of Docker in production, and…I’m surprised at how disappointing it is.
The configuration is clumsy, a dangerous mix of boilerplate and footgun customization points. The dockerfile / compose division of labor is nonsensical; it apparently grew by accretion instead of design. There are lots of loose ends left for hosting services to tie up, and the product thus fails in what would seem to be a primary goal of avoiding hosting vendor lock-in.
Am I simply Not Getting It Yet™, or is the state of the art actually like this?
