It is surprising the amount of apps I have to login after reinstalling the system.
I had logged into my first three pages of apps, but man, I keep finding more apps I forgot I launched just with spotlight and it is a long tail of passwords.

I’m sad to report that the owner of LebTav (which was split off from Lebanese Taverna) passed away. Alberto was a lovely guy, and I will miss seeing his smiling face when I would visit his store. Those of you who remember the original Shawafel on H St NE probably met him more than once. 💔

Oh look, and Signal has just told me that Jack Dorsey has joined Signal.
(a) Signal telling people on your contacts that they’ve joined Signal is a privacy violation.

You remember the pictures.
The images of tech oligarchs kissing the ring at President Trump’s inauguration were instantly iconic,
markers of a new and rather unnerving era.
But months earlier, Trump made a corrosive pact with another set of moguls,
and that one is already remaking global politics,
wiping out jobs at home and strangling what little hope was left of avoiding a climate disaster.
This one happened behind closed doors.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City: packages, police, and pootling
Back in April, when I completed Vice City, I posited that I might try playing San Andreas in "a few months". It has now been a few months, and I'm not playing it. I have a bit of a mental blocker on that game, partially around the setting, but also because I remember when it was released that there were countless reviews evangelising the detail they'd gone into, with you needing to regularly work out to keep…<…

Hey kids! Are you bored? Here's a tip: annoy your parents! It's the hottest new trend. Your parents weren't actually doing anything important. Get all up in their personal space, ask endless questions, babble if you can't think of anything to say, fight with your sibling(s), accidentally knock over or break whatever thing your parents were trying to fix or make! It's fun! And remember, your parents are, like, REALLY old; so you need to take advantage of the time you have …

Just found these photos. I actually still remember the wildly intense feelings that came at the time listening to Dvořšk, Stravinsky or Holst. 😆
Memory lane.
Many of my generation remember that feeling. When you had to go to school all day, only to come home, open MSN to talk to your friends, use a buzzer to get their attention, open your mailbox to find out there was no email, and share that computer with your whole family. Or when you got your first mobile phone—most likely a Nokia 3310—which you might still have after 20 years, with one block of battery remaining. Remember when you had to ask for directions to a street you’d…
Good Morning #Canada
The list of abandoned towns in PEI is apparently so short that no one has produced any really scary histories. It makes sense being a small island that there isn't enough distance to truly "abandon" a settlement. Maybe a house here or there, perhaps a short street. But that means you are more likely to be living next door to a haunted location. So today, we have a list of ghostly tales from around the island that may, or may not, be myth. Remember, don't go into the old shed with all the sharp farm tools....

An older photo of me when I crushed my thumb expressing my opinion of having the cast. It also fits my opinion of the TACO and the maggots who lavish unthinking devotion to him.

It was crushed by a 35 lb ladder when I was collapsing it, and my thumb slipped when triggering the release. The wife will not allow me to use it unless there is an adult supervising me.…

Remember That
Remember That? is the ultimate 90s and 2000s Australian nostalgia podcast...
Great Australian Pods Podcast Directory: https://www.greataustralianpods.com/remember-that/
In the 1980s there were a lot of television ads that showed how people might use technology in the future.
I remember one that showed a woman waking up in bed and (I think) speaking to the computer across the room to ask for the news and weather. The part that struck me odd then wasn't the use of voice command, it was the idea of wanting to interact with a computer right away in one's bedroom, before even having coffee or seeing sunlight. And now here we are.

Remember when the computers were bigger than the monitors?
It’s strange thinking about how much pain I’ve grown to accept and have just learned to live with.
I love writing by hand too much to give it up - with my ADHD it helps me focus, remember thins better, think through complex ideas. Journaling has been a great way to manage my mental illnesses. I love paper, I love collecting notebooks.
Not to mention that I am a hobbyist artist and draw on a regular basis. (Somehow that has been less painful for me than writing… but if writing cramped my hand then drawing would be agonizing too and I’d have to take weeks off on a nearly constant basis).
So suddenly purchasing a new kind of pen and realizing it MADE THE PAIN DISAPPEAR feels like magic. I literally feel less disabled.
I just wish I bought a fountain pen years ago 😅
I thought my code wasn't working but then I remember I left a UF2 board plugged into my computer via USB and it cripples the Finder so it cannot show newly created files... unplugged it and my script's file showed up.

Remember that authoritarian movements of all kinds, but especially fascist movements, do not initially have the power to force an entire nation state to bend to their will. They need — not just benefit from, but absolutely •need• — the passive acquiescence of large numbers of people.
Loud, annoying, visible resistance punctures the lie that it’s inevitable, that people who keep their heads down will be rewarded in the end.
I must have missed this - Netflix is possibly going to buy Warner Brothers.
My grandparents lived close to the old Republic Studios, and not far from Universal, Disney, Warner (and the secret Lookout Mountain studio.) The area wasn't called "Studio City" for nothing.

Back in March I got coronavirus and lost my framework laptop. Looking in tailscale the last time I used it was in the house and I didn't remember taking it anywhere else. I'd given up trying to find it, thinking someone must have just walked into the house and taken it or something. Then two days ago I was looking for my son's laptop and my wife found mine. It was on a table downstairs the whole time. For seven months !

Well, they tried to do "for mobile what we did for the web" and utterly failed—while neglecting their core product.
Now they’re all in on “doing for AI what we did for the web”.
Senility sucks. I guess that when you get to the point where you can't remember your own name, the solution is to have it put on everything.
Remember when you could search for something and when there were no results, the computer on the other end would say “no results” instead of forcing you to scan through a bunch of “results” that aren't actually what you searched for in hopes that maybe your answer is there somewhere (but it's not)?
That was cool.

they exerted considerable influence during the period between the first and second world wars.
Extremist groups like

Together they glorified a white Christian nation purified of Jews, Black Americans, immigrants and communists.

Our medical insurance system super sucks when hospital staff recommend to the spouse of an ill patient that the spouse seek a divorce in order to avoid huge medical bills.

I remember a friend who worked at a company that made a popular browser, and complained that I didn't have any "skin in the game" when I constantly complained about the browser the company was building.
Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.
