I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

The Art of Haunting The email was innocuous enough. A woman wrote to me explaining how her partner had been talking about my work and how much heโ€™d enjoyed itโ€”in particular, heโ€™d remembered me giving a TEDx talk about gh...

New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, โ€œThe Art of Haunting.โ€

When I replied Iโ€™d never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder.

On AI, ghosts, what it means to tell a story, and what Italo Calvino saw coming 60 years ago. Enjoy!

A chemist has arranged the lifeless bodies of Biffo and Buster upon armchairs in his shop window to advertise "Slumbo" brand sleep aid, with signs reading "Slumbo will give you a good night's sleep" and "Drink 'Slumbo' and sleep like a top", whatever that is supposed to mean.
ONLOOKER: What a good advert! I must buy a tin of "Slumbo"!

I went back to Linux and it was a mistake ๏ปฟI need an OS, not another hobby.

Building a software user experience that can actually meet consumer expectations is much harder than many tech people think. Unfortunately, a lot of FOSS is simply not ready for the consumer experience.

Maybe @jenson.org has a different opinion.

Yโ€™all what is up with autocorrect going insane when you have to back up and correct part of a word? Why does it treat this as a new word? So if I spell โ€œfromโ€ as โ€œfrimโ€œ and back up it thinks Iโ€™m trying to just spell โ€œomโ€โ€ฆ did anyone QA this?!?

How is natto not on here? To be fair, Iโ€™ve probably only had nasty imported stuff that isnโ€™t representative, because I know a lot of folks eat this outside the USA. But what I had tasted straight up like gym socks. I cannot.
