The Apple Music changes are so dumb. No one asked for auto-transition. No one. This ruins songs that have great beginnings and endings.

And why are the controls now locked to the bottom of the app, making the list harder to read? So dumb.

Change, for the sake of change, is dumb.

The macOS 26 rounded corners are a complete ugly mess. Apparently, apps can set their own corner radius, and so I'm now getting app updates where the radius is indeed very different than others. Meanwhile, as a user, I have no option to unify or disable this insanity.

No idea. But I like how DistroWatch has a "Not systemd" option in their search form.

We adopted Danni, a feral cat. She lived under the bed for the first month. Six months in, she's calmer but still has attitude. She's small but will push our other two male cats out of the way when it's time to eat. Fearless. Still hisses, but she's come a long way. It's gonna be OK. #caturday

I got my last Debian install upgraded to Trixie this morning. I had to disable the Raspberry Pi package repo and remove some conflicting LXDE packages to make it through the upgrade, but I got it all worked out in the end.

There once was a server so old,
Its CD-ROM was long dead and cold.
No BIOS USB boot,
So PXE was the only route,
Finally, Debian 13's on it, all told.

"TypeScript of course runs natively on browsers" is completely false.

29 em dashes in 1741 words is an em dash every ~60 words. Impressive.

Calling .replace on the String object that a and b are referencing seems like what you'd want. When you call = on b you're creating a new String object reference.

Look at all those blocked ads from "maxroll dot gg". I opened it at lunch and it kept on trying to load ads all afternoon. I notice my laptop was red-hot for no reason, and then I found the reason. The hell some people go through to play this game 😂
