@atpfm I just checked out Ubiquity’s offerings and felt immediately overwhelmed and confused. Yes, I’m sure I could figure it out, but I agree with others that this is not easy.

For context, I have run multiple Eero, then Orbi Pro, networks over the years with satellite repeaters and have been less than thrilled.

Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.”
- James Baldwin, 1962 (3/3)

“Behind what we think of as the Russian menace lies what we do not wish to face, and what white Americans do not face when they regard a Negro: reality—the fact that life is tragic. Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. (2/3)

I’m reading James Baldwin’s “The Fire Next Time”. I am finding it full of insights about race, America, and how one can approach self-reflection. It’s poetic and driving. Here’s a quote that struck me. It’s a simple observation and makes so much sense: America wants to avoid dealing with death. (1/3)

@gruber 👋 the two links to 9to5Mac at the top of the article don’t work; the domain is misspelled.

People keep saying #Anora is a film about sex workers. It’s a film about stripper who accepts sex work. If I were a stripper, I’d be really pissed at people conflating the two. #Oscars

@siracusa Thank you! A great experience start-to-finish. Excellent UI. So clear 👏

One thing I noticed is that, while scanning, there would be nothing and then TONS of eligible files. I was curious as to what folder was currently being scanned. Perhaps that's something that could be added to the UI somewhere? (I know it'd flicker, but figured I'd mention it).

@randderuiter I wouldn’t have seen this if it weren’t on Mastodon! 💯

Edit: I see now that you posted on Threads, but that still counts, right? 😏

Friday was my last day working at 18F. It was a wonderful place to work, filled with extraordinary people, but a few things happened that made me realize I had to leave.

Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision:

(FYI, this post gets into recent #uspol events. If that’s a stressor, or not interesting to you, I’d suggest skipping.)

@caseyliss Great update! 👏 That’s a big win compared to Letterboxd as well ✅

I went to the movies last night—it was terrible!

The screening stopped halfway through.
It was out of focus.
The sound was off.
Everything was a mess.

The house lights came on and then this guy came out of the booth and started yelling at everybody and calling them names. I thought he was a jerk, but now I realize: it was just projection.

@caseyliss My wife had this issue recently (I bet it’s related to the Apple account migration thing). I removed her from the family in iCloud settings and added her back in and it worked.

Via @anatudor ... would you like an insight into how AI is going to impact your health insurance and job prospects in the future - and how blatantly and utterly it is riddled with stereotypes and assumptions?

Remember kids: glasses means you _are actually_ smart.
Being white and smart means you're in IT and San Fran.

I lost it at "presents a facade of normalcy"

AI profiling - it's hororscopes for the 21st century. Digital charlatans reading a room.

I recently heard something that stuck in my mind: "Vanilla is a flavor."

Choosing vanilla is a valid choice, not just a default.

@docpop That coffee, too! 😍

@siracusa CHEESE MITES? 😫 Why did you do this to me?

I love cheese.

I've been scarred ever since I saw a Colbert Report that featured eyelash mites. That was over a decade ago. I am NOT searching for this. 🙈

Chickadees started their spring mating calls yesterday! It seems early, but it’s such a welcome sound.

In retrospect, the “semattical” didn’t go well. #WordPress
