I regret having watched the video of her testimony in that article… I have no words to describe my reaction to the utter lack of logic, reasoning—any semblance of the capacity for critical thought—going on there.

Elliot Alderson and Angela Moss, characters from Mr. Robot, sit with their backs to each other, separated by a door. Both are distraught and severely depressed, but they’ve just had an uplifting conversation that ends with them realizing that they’ll each be alright.

I mean, S03E08 is one of the best episodes of television ever.

The story, cinematography, acting, its dark humor, optimistic ending, the emotions it evokes… I’ve watched it 4-5 times so far and I can’t help but tear up during it. Words can’t describe its beauty.

Any list of best live action series that doesn’t have Mr. Robot in the top 10 is wrong—invalid if it’s not in the top 25 at the very least.

I can’t wait for Reddit alternatives like Lobsters or Lemmy to take off.

I’m honestly surprised people flocked back after the 2022 protests. The mask came off about how little Reddit values anyone: users, devs, & especially mods.

Now this shows how little they value safety.

[FEAT]: Infinite Scrollable Tiling · Issue #1434 · LGUG2Z/komorebi Eligibility GitHub Sponsor Suggestion As someone who uses an ultrawide monitor, inifinite scrollable tiling (such as the one implemented by niri for Linux) would help me make optimal use of my scre...

And another W for @lgug2z.com: he’s already on it!

After having just decided on trying #komorebi on Windows (and soon macOS), I saw #niri… and now I want that 🙃

In case anyone is interested:

macOS: PaperWM.spoon [1]
Windows: windowpots [2]

Not sure if it’s a proliferation of people who don’t know the difference now or if it’s always been this way, just more visible now with the Web.

Had a discussion online in which someone retorted with: “well, in my opinion, it’s an absolute fact that…”

. . . what

I like Rectangle but Komorebi would allow a (near-)universal config file that minimizes fussing with separate configs, UIs, paradigms, etc.

That said, I’m also considering others as mentioned in these comments: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4555...

Heard great things about Aerospace, too!

YouTube video by Jeezy Codes My Favorite Tiling Window Manager is Finally on macOS

Thanks for the suggestion! Rectangle on my Mac Studio works wonderfully :)

I should’ve specified that my ideal new tiling WM would auto-tile and have config file support for portability/reproducibility.

Seems that Komorebi is coming to macOS, may be my cross-platform solution: youtu.be/u3eJcsa_MJk

Any #macOS tiling window manager suggestions from folks here?

Reasons for the suggestion are appreciated!

It might only be valid for one person…

Saw some coverage about Musk recently that was praising his work ethic: “12-hour days, sometimes weekends and nights,” justifying why his huge pay packages.

… okay?

So do doctors, PAs, nurses and several millions of other professionals. Are we all worth possibly >$1T? Where do we sign?

Finally! 🎉

No more having to manually, painstakingly recreate a playlist from #Spotify on #AppleMusic or rely on a fishy-looking 3rd party service with which you have to trust both accounts’ details (which is why I never went that route).

Now, if we still don’t get Mega Flygon after >10 years of asking…

Grab the pitchforks.

Furthermore, why should I care about things like that in a game focused on gameplay?

I don’t play Pokémon games to focus on overworld textures and intricacies of depth, scale, and realism rendered digitally.

I just want a fun game where imaginary creatures battle each other.

Exasperating, really.

1) I disagree: they look good.

There are legitimate criticisms, like walls just being textues as opposed to any actual depth to windows, doors, and other features.

Hard to take these claims seriously, though, from people who claim

“I could do better
“PS2 level graphics”
“Literally unplayable”

Lesson re-learned: never seek out the Internet’s opinion on a thing one likes (especially amongst gamers).

#Pokémon games focus on mechanics, not stellar graphics.

Yet, so many criticisms focus on the #LegendsZ-A demo’s “lackluster graphics” and chastise anyone who buys the game as being a sheep.

Not sure how, but even with more animations, #iOS26 feels snappier on my iPhone 13 Pro than iOS 18.6 did: color me surprised!

Certainly an oddity with the history of #Apple performance-throttling older models.

Glad to see they’re both supporting & enhancing (or so it feels) older products.

Ah, days before #Apple (thankfully) kills off #Launchpad... I spend around half an hour painstakingly organizing Launchpad. Of course.

If I'd procrastinated another week, it would've been a non-issue.

For 3 years, I procrastinated; what possessed me to stop today, of all days?

Also America: “Let’s hamstring the institution that made the moon landing possible!”

Text of a website with a section header reading "Contact Me", below which appears "If you want to contact me, find a way to reach me."

Best "contact me" website section I've seen in the wild yet.

Tmw Microsoft Authenticator wants to use Microsoft Authenticator to authenticate logging into Microsoft Authenticator…

They always are.

(To be clear, it's specifically o4-mini-high, but you know: character constraints.)

So, when switching between models in a chat, they don't ingest other models' outputs in the same chat as part of their context window?

Or perhaps this is just when switching between certain models?

A chain of reasoning output by ChatGPT's o4-mini-high model in a chat that notes. The entire text cannot be transcribed as there is too much to fit within the character limit, but the essence is that the o4-mini-high model keeps trying to reconcile my statement of "This is correct; thank you so much!" with the prior message to o3-pro stating "You have been incorrect so far. Please try again." This causes the model a lot of confusion as it seems to think that I thanked it prior to o3-pro's response instead of after it. It therefore seems to be stuck resolving a seeming paradox where none exists.

Well, this is interesting...

Used ChatGPT to help me bootstrap my #Zsh + Zinit config.

o4-mini kept hallucinating; o3-pro got it right.

I switched back to o4-mini in the chat to say thanks.

o4-mini is confused since it thinks I'm still criticizing it.

It seems to not "see" o3-pro's response.

So this is wild (in a good way):

Since RFK's come into office, I've actually seen an *increase* in the number of patients coming to clinic and requesting vaccines.

No hard data, just anecdotal. But a palpable increase.

Refreshing compared to combating anti-vaxx misinformation.

I expected that revelation from the last scene of #Andor

Still hit so hard 💔

Interesting…

“all of Menendez' ill-gotten gains, which totaled $992,188.10” = 11 years in prison.

I wonder what accepting a bribe worth ~400x that (say, a plane) in a more privileged seat of power would warrant in terms of repercussions. Let alone any other ill-gotten gains such a person may have.
