Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:

Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

The new Sweet and Spicy BBQ flavor of Doritos, which is jam packed with umami-spiking MSG

Question: When you say you love salty snacks, is it really the salt you love, or is it, as I think we must all truthfully confess, the monosodium glutamate that you love? There is no wrong answer, except the one where you try to say it's the salt, not the MSG.

On the list of things I do not want to experience in virtual reality I would definitely include smell. Hard no to virtual smell.
