Sept 7, 2023 FB post: M4L stands for Max for Live. MtG stands for Magic the Gathering. Stop ruining acronyms I'm used to by using them for far right extremists.

Still miss Lina Khan being FTC chair, but glad to see her in this role.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

You have to install the plugin to enable the AI feature, so doesn't force it on you. Same for web browser feature. I've tried others, but just keep coming back to iTerm2 because it works well. I gave ghostty a serious try, but was surprised to find it to be buggy for me.

ChromeOS can already run Android apps. I wonder how this will be different.

On #macOS Tahoe, Emacs.app GUI from Mitsuharu Yamamoto's emacs-mac 29.4 build was consistently freezing using 100% CPU, as was emacsformacosx.com build. Recently started using Doom, but w/ no config same issue (ran ok in terminal)

I was cleaning out the dust on my SFF PC (that sits next to the TV) and Luna was curious what I was doing and hung out and watched #pc #pcgaming #dogs #gaming

You don't want me singing, but I'll start practicing the guitar parts, which you also don't want me playing
