Love Actually irritates me but it was prescient in having the American President be a rapist.

It's a fantasy though, in so far as the British Prime Minister does something about it......

If you want to protect your money, you need the CFPB. The agency has returned billions to Americans & protects workers from predatory lenders. Trump & Musk want it gone. Without it, the winners are them & the losers are us. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra joins me at 11a on #Velshi.

Do you use the "Please Caption" bot to remind you to add image descriptions? Some updates about it:

1) It has just changed servers, its new account is:

➡️ @PleaseCaptionBot

If your follow hasn't transferred automatically, follow it at the new address.

2) There was a problem transferring the bot's follows list. Even if you're following it at the new address, you should unfollow it and re-follow it in order to trigger the bot's follow back. Follow backs are needed for reminders to work.

I can see the attraction of NixOS now that I've tried it. If you are running some Linux distribution on more than one machine, you have a list of things you want to do to get them just right after an OS install. I've had scripts for that, but NixOS just supports the idea directly. You just add your list to the config file and update.

It can go further and manage your home directory dot files and things like that. Currently I'm thinking that piece of the puzzle is small enough to just script.

Jingle Ariels 5 days ago • mastodon (AP)

it provides a unified language for configuration and many, many modules which make setting up services a snap. The isolation also means you can host loads on a single server without system dependency hell

John Socks 5 days ago • mastodon (AP)

@arichtman I'm chipping away at the language, but it's interesting to me how useful it is with just like eight lines changed to the default configuration.

For instance adding vim is much easier than uninstalling vim tiny and installing vim regular on any other Linux.

In this short video I'm hovering my cursor over the terminal app called Ptyxis, but for some reason this is only happening on my second monitor.

Second monitor specs;
- Resolution: 1920x1080
- Scale: 100%
- Refresh rate: 120hz

#WritersCoffeeClub 12/21 Disney is making a musical animation of one of your stories. How well does that go?

Despite their feud with Mr. Pudding Fingers and lip service to corporate Pride, I hear they are in fact quite homophobic and transphobic, and so I don't think it would go very well at all. Plus they are notoriously anti-union. Then again, they did Andor so maybe they're capable of sucking it up if it turns a profit.

Ian is named after a man of no significance, a name that he promptly buried when he was in his early 20s, and magic chose this one for him as a cruel trick that would not become apparent for another two decades.

If glowforge had a non-subscription option to use their built in drawing software I'd use it off and on.

Instead I just say nasty things about them because they will sell a school a machine that costs thousands of dollars then want $50 bucks a month for the privilege of drawing a circle with the thing.

You can easily use any software that makes SVG doc and upload them. It's not at the level of a lock-out scam, but if you don't work with SVGs often this is very annoying.
