    You can’t spell “discovery” without “very disco”.

    There’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said, but Omarchy is a suspiciously random distro for 1Password to donate to, considering that the name only comes up in the context of controversy. If I had money burning a hole in my pocket I’d give it to literally anyone else. How about Hannah Montana Linux?

    Nothing makes you regret your life choices quite like laying under the kitchen sink trying to tighten or loosen fittings you can barely reach.

    So… gender-affirming care? https://apnews.com/article/hegseth-pentagon-testosterone-testing-troops-47333bbf3af9e4cac432722332ff1383

    @laprice Missed the poll. I could see them trying to keep it from the press for fear it would further enrage a populace that doesn’t think we should be there to begin with. On the other hand, I can imagine them trying to use it to justify an extreme level of retaliation. It seems stupid to try to hide something like that because the moment it leaks it would be a huge scandal. But stupid is kinda the whole MO.

    On Firefox for Mac if you command-tilde through all your open windows it eventually stops like it hit the end of the list, and you have to do command-shift-tilde to go backwards. Is this new, or have I just never noticed before? With any other application you can command-tilde through your windows in an infinite loop that wraps around rather than ending.

    Beauty and the Beast came up and the five-year-old asked “Is that the one with the dancing buffalo that’s in love with Belle?” 💃🦬

    @tychotithonus I thought of you immediately when I saw this. Looks like they&amp;#39;re still standard YubiKeys but they come with a DuckDuckGo branded sleeve. https://www.yubico.com/yubico-and-duckduckgo/

    The Lifetime Plex Pass subscription is going up to $750 on July 1! If you think you&amp;#39;ll eventually want it, you should probably do it now. I&amp;#39;m sure there will be the occasional discounts, but how often and how much? https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/?signUp=0

    “I heard a few notes and I wasn’t sure if it was Harry Potter or Star Wars, since they’re written by the same person.” “Really? I didn’t know J.K. Rowling made Star Wars.” “Huh?” “Oh never mind.”

    Apropos of nothing, I was just thinking about the April Fool’s joke a few years back where pfSense announced they were switching their underlying OS from FreeBSD to Linux. Some people were excited, others mad or confused, and nobody thought it was funny. To my knowledge they never made any public attempt at damage control even after it became clear that people were taking it way too seriously.

    RIP Mac Pro. Poor thing never really had a chance since lots of RAM slots and upgradable video are probably the main reasons people want a big tower.

    Oh my god this is my third watching of Ted Lasso and I only just noticed Anthony Stewart Head in the credits, and realized that Rupert Mannion is Rupert Giles from Buffy. 🔥

    @IceCubesApp If I start composing a toot and then rotate to landscape, the whole app becomes non-responsive and then crashes after a few seconds. I’m on the latest TestFlight but I’ve seen it in past versions as well.

    I got a kick out of this Jetta on the way home. The rear window clearly used to say “WE ARE CHARLIE” but the window wipers removed most of it, so they also wrote “RIP Charlie Kirk” off to the side. The cannabis sticker is the icing on the cake. Yuppie stoner MAGA. 🫠

    The Scouts are discontinuing a merit badge in response to Executive Order 14173, essentially an anti-DEI order. What is the offending badge, you ask? “Citizenship in Society” 🫠🫠🫠 https://www.scouting.org/program-updates/citizenship-in-society-merit-badge-discontinuance/

    “Incel” is a misnomer. They’re not involuntarily celibate. They’re voluntarily such pieces of sh*t that nobody wants anything to do with them except other toxic bros.

    For $599 retail / $499 edu, I think MacBook Neo is going to sell incredibly well to people who historically chose the base MacBook Air config. Schools, people buying a homework computer for their kids, people who need a basic travel laptop, home users who aren’t generating a lot of data or keep everything in iCloud. #Apple #MacBook #MacBookNeo https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/

    So he thinks a foreign military should intervene to remove a bad president. Interesting.
