@kcase Oh man, is this update going to make me regret just getting a new battery battery for my iPhone 14 instead of springing for the new phone that can do Apple Intelligence?

Here's some important legislation that isn't going to destroy our democracy either way, but you should contact your legislative representatives to support it! There are currently bills in the senate and assembly to get rid of daylight saving time in the state of Wisconsin. Please contact your representatives to support these bills, because daylight saving time is dumb and unneeded in our modern world.

The Apple TV+ adaptation of The Murderbot Diaries looks really fun.

The MAGA apologists have been super quiet (at least in my feed) the last week. It's pretty certain that the markets are going to tank today. That means layoffs, retirement balance collapse, and more. Once things start affecting them and not just "woke" government workers and the most vulnerable in our society, how long do you think they will put up with this bullshit?

Space 1999 reruns and building Lego Blacktron. A totally reasonable and adult thing to do on a beautiful Friday evening. #blacktron #lego #space1999

I feel like this is a pretty big deal if Facebook's argument prevails? Arguing that downloading isn't the illegal part because the books were readily available? So by this argument piracy by Usenet would be totally okay because you aren't ever seeding.

That rarest of gems - an orange site comment worth recirculating - seems to be making the rounds again. From 2017:

This is Europe's opportunity to stand up, give the US the bird, and help Ukraine regardless of the bullshit Trump is pulling. Hopefully they are up to the job.

@michael @panic Awesome, thanks! Also, when is the iPad version of Nova coming out? 😉

@panic I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but is there an easy way to paste a Clip in the “Run Command” text field in Omniview?

@simonbs Does this mean you went back to 1Password from iCloud Keychain? Your blog post on the subject prompted me to try the same thing, and after a few months I ended up back with 1Password.

I went to Disney for the first time and bought a lightsaber. Then a couple TSA agents got confused until one of their coworkers yelled at them for hassling a Jedi. It was pretty funny.

@rpilocator Digikey seems to be one of the few (maybe only?) retailers that allow you to backorder? I ordered an 8GB Pi 5 two days ago before they said they had stock and it shipped last night.

@bigzaphod we space it out in my house so only one person feels horrible at a time. Your method may be better. Just have everyone go through it together.

Finally finished Ted Lasso. Wouldn’t you know it, right at the end when the best song ever recorded was playing I got something in my eyes and they wouldn’t stop watering. #tedlasso

I just caught myself trying to SLOWLY feed the dogs cheese because they weren’t savoring the flavor of the smoked Gouda I was giving them. I don’t know if that means I need another drink, or if I should stop drinking.

@things Ah! never mind! I'd still like it to be built in to the app, but I can automate it!
