    There was a meme going around a while back of a vintage Radio Shack(?) ad showing desk overflowing with different equipment from a radio to a fax machine, and the meme was now we do this all on our phone.* I want to go back to that. Single-purpose, purpose-built devices that aren&#39;t trying to distract me or turn me into a revenue stream. *Anyone have that? Search fails me.

    Going to keep Waterfox around for a bit. They just added* RSS feed detection and a (primitive) reader. Love seeing the little RSS icon in the URL bar between Reader view and the bookmark star. https://www.waterfox.com/releases/6.7.4/ * Put back, really. Firefox had this and removed it in 2018.

    You may find yourself Thinking about #Monsterdon And you may find yourself In another part of the world And you may find yourself Behind the wheel of fediverse instance And you may find yourself watching a horrible movie with a horrible cast And you may ask yourself &quot;Well... how did I get here?&quot;

    I&#39;ve boosted this at least twice now, but when you take into account how much I dislike videos, you might have a better idea how good this is. Everyone who programs, double particularly men, should carve out the time. You can do it 5 minutes at a time if you want. It starts out slow and ends up going light speed. Felienne Hermans&#39;s talk, &quot;AI made me doubt everything about programming&quot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-6-f94n_9M https://www.felienne.nl/

    Local (private) full text search of the web pages you&#39;ve visited. I&#39;ve pondered making something like this for a long time. Frankly it&#39;s something that Mozilla should be making instead of drowning itself in slop. Keeping track of stuff has become very difficult and the current tools, History and Bookmarks, haven&#39;t changed in a decade. (This is not a recommendation. I haven&#39;t kicked the tires yet, but seems neat to me (tm)) https://hister.org/

    I am so tired of rich white fascists. So, a question: What programing languages and operating systems have the most diverse folks &quot;in charge&quot;? Who are the most inclusive? Who as at least as many women as men? What projects are steered by a full chorus of LGBTQIA+ folks? Where are BIPOC putting their energy and power? &#39;Cause every time we complain about a fash we should lift up the work they fight against two times. Boots welcome.

    I know exactly one coelacanth song and one axolotl song. This is not enough. Share your coelacanth and axolotl songs.

    Once again seeing “ultra-processed foods” in headlines. The evidence sure seems to support them being detrimental to health, but I still have yet to find a “How to ID ultra-processed foods” guide that is anything but vague and hand-wavy.

    Oh wow! Wolfen is #monsterdon tonight?! I think it&#39;s honestly a fine movie that might catch you off guard. It did me the first time I saw it. Now I own a copy.
