Better double-check that the person who left the meeting really was MBS. Just sayin'.

Early in the post we read that you are largely on Bluesky, but far down below the user comments
"The best place to find me is on twitter @BretDevereaux
Following me on Twitter is the best way to be informed of new posts as they appear."
Am I the only one to scroll that far down?

Ads & AI. Two of my least favorite things. Dude is welcome to eat all the dog poop he wants.

Meanwhile, I sleep in a recliner - aka dumb adjustable chair/bed. Anyone who has one might know they are easy to fall asleep in, and they happen to be great for my particular kind of back trouble.

You might have to click on the 2nd pic to see the subtitle that inspired this. I wish Bluesky would adjust the way they show photos.

Also don't want a Microsoft account and don't need any of Microsoft's "cloudy" offerings.
Microsoft needs to accept that if I spend $2,000+ on good hardware it's MY computer not theirs and I should be able to use it the way I want to.

I have 2 boxes that can't officially run win-11. One updated to 11 via Rufus recently seems to be working fine.
Both have Windows-only software. I have 40+ years with DOS & various flavors of Windows, zero experience with Linux. Really don't want to switch.

Have you seen this? Might your students enjoy it? And is it even correct?
