My favorite part of my blend of mental health issues is when I procrastinate something for a week and then when I finally do the thing it takes 2 minutes

Absolutely insane that you can run one docker compose and get a full windows VM with RDP in a browser window

A new low for Siri. Notice these are not going to trigger when I arrive at home and the very concept of work has been erased
Bring back text adventure mode please, I liked it better when my computers were predictable

I’ll be honest, #StrangerThings season 4 kinda lost me. Idk why I just wasn’t super into it

My new favorite Siri glitch is that when I tell it “watch The Snoopy Show in the living room” it does that but it ALSO plays Fall Out Boy on the upstairs HomePod. Has happened twice now

I’m a pretty clumsy person, which means I drop things fairly often. Ironically, this gives me lots of practice catching falling objects
So now, fairly often, I drop something and then catch it before it hits the ground. Which makes me look like some kind of ninja

I’m rapidly adopting the opinion that there’s a real ceiling on the size of a viable smart home
Automating a 1 bedroom apartment is a tractable problem. Automating a two story house just might not be feasible

Does anyone have any good resources about parenting and mental health? Real talk is that I’ve been struggling to find a balance lately and I’m trying to find something new to try

I am willing to accept more trolley problems if it means more public transportation gets built

Just heard an ad for T-Mobile that said you could switch to T-Mobile on your phone in just 15 minutes, and I guess with eSIMs you really can just do that. At home. That’s wild to me

Nothing I see here dissuades me from my belief that giving away VS Code free was an attempt to kill Sublime Text, the way MSIE was meant to kill Netscape. The follow-on thought "well, maybe it's anticompetitive manipulation, at least it's open source" runs into the problem that once you look closer VSCode appears to not be real open source

Whoa this is crazy. Guess now’s as good a time as any to flash my Roomba and make it local only, been wanting to try that anyway https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/115721363297365912

iRobot apparently just declared bankruptcy, so if you have an internet connected one and want to retain control if the cloud platform vanishes, take a look at https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980#how-to-get-your-usernameblid-and-password and stash that information somewhere safe (and note that it changes if you ever factory reset the device, so try not to do that)
