So many persistent and mysterious electronics failures on #SkinwalkerRanch but the cameras shooting the show are reliable as fuck.
I’m kind of OK with these people relaxing in a warm borax bath while sipping an ivermectin cocktail with a Tide Pod chaser.
Borax is the new Tide Pods, and poison control experts are facepalming

#ElonMusk is rebranding #Twitter to “X” as the first step towards making it the “everything” app including messaging, social media, and payment services.
Maybe he should figure out how to do the Twitter thing first.
All Might really has a problem with Korosensei.

Yet another attempt by the U.S. #Congress to make end-to-end #encryption illegal.

Reminded today that #Microsoft #Teams is still a hot mess. Client added me to a team. Microsoft says my password is incorrect. Changed password to same one. Sign in. No access to the team I was invited to.
Hey #Cuba, by supporting #Russia’s unprovoked invasion of #Ukraine are you saying that it would be OK if the U.S. invaded to “denazify” Cuba?
#Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac only has .NET 8 and Maui preview support in the release version of VS, not the preview version, which also has a lower version number.
I don't think they know what “Preview” means.
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch is a great show to watch if you’re into watching people launch rockets and review the video later that night and talk about launching more rockets.

Apparently #Erdogan finally agreed to allow Sweden into #NATO after remaining members agree to pronounce #Turkey “Ter-kee-ah”.
Elon Musk's decision to add daily reading limits to prevent data scraping also has the following impact:
- Reduces Twitter's search engine exposure, reducing new signups
- Reduces the number of real-time info providers, which also reduces the number of people looking for that content
- Reduces Twitter's advertising revenue as active user count and confidence in the future of the platform are also reduced

I liked the Internet better when it wasn't a handful of proprietary social media platforms run by narcissists.
The #Reddit CEO saying that the API transition time and pricing changes are “a business decision they won’t undo”, in addition to threats of replacing moderators who don't reopen subreddits, is a short-sighted dick move. I've gone from thinking Reddit will die a slow death to wishing for it.
This is that one time that life should imitate art. No, seriously.

Mac Pro Tip: When copying a git repository directory to your network file server using rsync, try this:
rsync -brtlvP --chmod=Fu+w --delete-before Code/MyProject/ /Volumes/MyServer/Code/MyProject/
This will copy the files with timestamps but no other attributes, and will also give the file owner (you) full access rights. This ensures that you (or even Windows users with access rights) can overwrite the directory contents later because local read-only files (e.g. in the .git directory) won't be read-only on the server. You can also change the chmod option to customize the rights, like ensuring everyone has full control.
The recent change to Google Chrome that removes the option to accept a self-signed certificate is another reason developers need a system-wide “Developer Mode” that removes these barriers erected for the normies. It's hard to code with Google, Microsoft, Apple, et al. holding one of my hands all day.
