You ever wake up and think that once you figure out life it will be too late?
Why is it so hard to do what makes you happy and make a living at it?
Ya, that's what I feel this morning.

I don't miss getting cut up from plugging in keyboards and mice and later building computers for everyone. People today have no idea how lucky they missed that time!

Yes, I still have the luxury of two 5.25" drives in my first 8088 PC in the basement. Used to program in BASIC on that thing with some Printshop banners to plaster on my bedroom wall!😂

This gives me some big nostalgia feels.
I have a huge cassette and cd collection. My wife does too and this is easy enough for her to use.
Too bad it's $1000 CAD🤦‍♂️

Sure is feeling that way. Give me a used 90s or 00s year for a change. #newyears

Ugh I can’t believe people are using AI for their retail shopping experience and local news is giving this air time.
It’s all slop and a big security issue awaiting to happen for normies. 🤦‍♂️

Just had a solicitor from a phone / cable company (Rogers, for you Canadians) knock on my door and walk away.
Like don’t these guys have family dinners to be at? Didn’t realize solicitors worked until Christmas Eve evening.

So fancy. I remember eating those fruit cocktail in a can, think it was from Dole.

So, I did some searching and finally figured out that when the Reduce Transparency feature is off, then it works fine.
I usually have it on to reduce the iOS baloney.

Too bad the iOS version is botched. Settings and tab windows are blank for me. Been like that for weeks.

Hyperlink Roundup 09 is here. I read many interesting posts and watched some videos. From #terminal programs to #blog posts and #self-hosting suggestions. This is a long one!

The day will come when the fork teams can’t pull all the AI slop out of the Firefox code. It feels like it will get harder to find an alternative browser at this rate.
