Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.
Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

For a while, Bluesky was close to Golden Age Twitter/Twitter That Never Was/What Mastodon Should’ve Been. It was incredible. We’ve lost that utopia now.

My solution was to remove the filament, disconnect the power and USB cables, place the printer on a clean flat surface in a storage area, and wait. Still on the last step right now.

Personally, on my Performa 630CD, if I'm running pre-OS 8, it's 7.5.5. (I never did get the hang of 7.6.1.)

I think the strips are around 1.37 inches tall. The one you've attached would be 11.5 inches wide. That seems about right based on an 18.5mm wide keycap.

I didn't get very far in the series but I enjoyed the vintage computers. I'm glad I saw the Macintosh scene... but that scene is also pure WatchPeopleDieInside. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDFo...

I used to watch and enjoy X-Files when it was airing. Recently, for some reason I cannot remember, I put on the X-Cops episode and was blown away. Super fun.

AI is getting clickbaited by YouTube and telling me to watch. Max Velocity is not a "severe weather center". Both YouTube links go to a FOX Weather video about lake effect snow (no links to the MV video). I checked Max Velocity's channel for the video and it was already 12+ hours old. Oh boy.

For years, the Google app's news notifications algorithm has been "You looked up local severe weather yesterday so you must love weather. Here's an article about a thunderstorm in North Carolina! BREAKING: tornado warning in Nebraska!" And the articles are at least a day old.
