I like media that is just like "hey we got some mysterious repeating numbers for you to ponder". Is there still any of that?

PSA: have you replaced your bicycle helmet recently? Remember, they are good for only ONE impact, and they degrade over time. Helmet technology has also gotten a lot better in the past ten years -- Virginia Tech has been testing helmets to an actual quantifiable standard (whether that standard tracks human brain impacts, different question, but at least there is a number to track), and the best helmet you can buy for $65 today is roughly HALF the concussion risk as a $250 S-Works Evade II from 2018.

This message brought to you by my Echelon II MIPS, having given its all to keep my head safe when it hit the ground at 18.7mph indicated; it was replaced by a Chamonix 3 that is 20% safer. (I got away with some road rash, a concussion that appears to have mostly resolved itself by T+4 days, and what are surely going to be truly astonishingly large ER bills. The bike is fine.)

This morning, Leonard Peltier was released from over 49 years of wrongful incarceration.

“Today I am finally free! They may have imprisoned me but they never took my spirit!” said Leonard Peltier. “Thank you to all my supporters throughout the world who fought for my freedom. I am finally going home. I look forward to seeing my friends, my family, and my community. It’s a good day today.”

An email I received left me speechless. Obviously, they don't respect my creative choices. I will not 'fix' this panel under any circumstances.

Me: What's with parents finding new and unique ways to name children incorrectly?

Future me: Jelf. Jean Elf. Yes, like jorts. Mhmm. Capital J, E, L, F. Yes, I'm sure.

Found a nice nudibranch yesterday at the tide pools.

There should be a word for when OEMs ship intentionally broken and stripped down versions of the OS loaded with their own spyware or premium services to replace what was intentionally broken. So that I can use that term to essentially describe their white collar programmer crime of intentionally making shit worse as a middleware designer.

For example, AOSP, what Android is based on, has many useful, free features that device manufacturers intentionally remove before they ship. The hotspot settings tile that lets you make a wifi AP from your phone using your 4G/5G cellular modem as an internet gateway. Everyone loves that, but it gets removed and then users are tricked into installing or enabling paid spyware that replaces it, or denied the feature outright. I'm sure there are more examples. Removing functional features that serve everyone free of cost from upstream code and grafting some corporate middleware grift in its place if anything at all.

bad idea: USB-C flash drive shaped like a 5.25" floppy disk.

and it checks which way you plugged it in, and only shows you that half of the files. You want to see the other files? flip it over!
