two of my pet peeves:

- hip little cafés that don't have a sign with their hours of operation anywhere. i'm always seeing cute places that are closed and i'm like "oh i'll totally come back when they're open" but there is literally no indication of when they're open. i'm not looking up your freaking instagram or whatever, just put it on the door!!!
- small-time musical artists with super generic band and song names. i was trying to remember an earworm from years ago but it was something like "dance" by "hot", jesus christ do you know how unfindable that is. you're not cool. king gizzard and the lizard wizard got it right.

🐉I keep hearing folks saying they lack the spoons to organize, resist or even just rest because their jobs take up all their energy.

This is a real problem. How do we fix or mitigate it?

How do *you* conserve your energy at work?

Uh, my priest agreed with my email about not using Generative AI images but jujitsued me, and now I've been asked to advise the team on where to get public domain art. Anyone have any good resources for public domain Christian religious art? Help!

Waarom is huismerk-ceylonthee plotseling overal verdwenen? Lidl, AH, Jumbo hebben het allemaal niet meer...

I just noticed there's also a Hackaday article on this exact thing: https://hackaday.com/2025/04/07/why-usb-c-splitters-can-cause-magic-smoke-release/

so just to reiterate;
- USB *hubs* and alike devices are fine
- dumb chipless splitters are NOT, unless you can confirm none of them support USB-PD or QuickCharge (or the adapter doesn't)

Anyone working on "ethics" "fairness" "responsible AI" and such at these companies is giving cover for them to commit genocide. The only ones doing actual "ethics" or "fairness" are the ones protesting this and getting fired.

this new discord update is awful

May I offer u to build a community in those trying times

Public service announcement: this is *not* a dire wolf.

It is a genetically modified grey wolf made to resemble an extinct species, so a bullshit company can raise more money for their bullshit projects.

#Deextinction is a scam on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. It will *not* help us save endangered species. Instead, we should spend our money on preserving their habitats *before* they go extinct.
