Just finished #NaomiKlein 's 1999 (classic?) book No Logo. Just about to start @nprofile…ugpy 's Enshittification. I get the feeling this is going to feel a bit like a sequel.

My wife - who has never shown any interest In American football - has organised a #SuperbOwl party for her friends: a bunch of weirdo, arty folks who have also never been interested. She's got owl stuffies and party favours. I've been voluntold to figure out how to get the game 🏴‍☠️ and make sliders. I have even less interest in the game. Go Owls! :tomo_MimimiLaugh:

@nprofile…gzza Would try! Don't want to run low on calcium.

Called into last second meeting with 4 VPs, 5 Directors, etc.
A bead of sweat forms on my forehead.
Turns out they just couldn't figure out how to work the room camera for Teams.
It wasn't plugged in.
I do NOT work in deskside support, but it's nice to have job security. 😅

An old post/rant from yesteryear's ask DNA about #web, #indieweb, #blogging, #socialmedia, blah blah blah.

@nprofile…gv7u I've heard of this. Or ghee and spices.
Honestly, I'd try that.
I may even experiment with some chili oil or something later. Hahan

A coworker puts pepper in his #coffee. I'm fairly certain he is a psychopath.

I'm a little extra about my #coffee, even (perhaps especially) when I #travel.

@nprofile…gv7u Yes!! What an excellent idea.

@nprofile…gv7u This was someone 25± years my senior (and I'm no spring chicken) whose been using computers at work since the 90s. :luffycry:

It's 2025. There's no excuse.
If you work in an office and I tell you to Bookmark a webpage and you don't know what to do because you don't know that's the same thing as adding to Favourites, we're done. I can't help you until you help yourself.

I love that every time there is an article of an exploit/hack, there is an ominous stock photo (or AI thing) of a person in a hoodie and sunglasses in the dark. I mean, yes, that looks exactly like every hacker I know but it's also just kinda silly.

Took the day off to catch up on some reading and listen to records.

I miss #BlackBerry. And #Nokia.

Moved my #website to #bearblog yesterday.
It's pretty slick. It looks just like it used to and now I can post from my phone instead of doing everything at the command line (which is still fun and I still do with other projects 🤓 ).

I JUST figured out that there are different themes/layouts on the #mastodon web app. Ugh! :FacePalm:

Finally managed to get enough stuff backed up and removed from #googleone to cancel subscription.
Still some loose ends to tie up with shared files, but it feels better to not give #google money anymore.

@npub16hm…xt0c Not sure if it would suit your needs, but I remember coming across this post about importing from instagram to #pixelfed.
