benchly's existential cookout

Dune, 1965

Just do what everyone else does and cherry-pick the things that already align with your opinions as "true" and make the rest false. EZPZ

Listen, beans are super important for apocalyptic activity

Same. Gotta love an intellectual who can also kick some ass when needed.

Operating Systems are like people; they start off all innocent with core functionality, then grow into bloated, demanding, invasive messes.

Hey algorithms or whatever; I would really enjoy more content about #rocks, #minerals and #geology.

Only management can revoke Gretchen Felker-Martin's account suspension, but her book came out yesterday, so you can support her in other ways!

It's never been made clear to me.

Acoustic foam, a heavy door, chair in the middle. Maybe a jug of water for my throat after I stand in there and just scream.

Might also go in there to read, now and then.

Ugh. I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow

I like Bandcamp because artists I dig still sell cassettes there but I have often wondered what platform pays the artist most? What is the best way to support artists while prevent a lot of the profits from going into the pockets of greedy third-party platforms?

You Can Make Your Own Floppy Drive Cleaning Disks Once upon a time, you could buy floppy drive cleaning disks at just about any stationary or computer store. These days, they’re harder to find. If you want to build one yourself, though, you …

I'm not even a furry and I nearly dropped my phone readying an informative and opinionated reply on why you should learn and use Arch.

Alright, I need to go sit down. Phew, close one!

Yeah, but with GPT I don't have to buy coffee and donuts for everyone and thank them for coming. I can just buy the coffee and donuts and eat them myself.

A photo of a Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer being installed in a SmartiPi 7" screen housing, showing the complete lack of room left for the assembler to tighten the nuts that secure the Pi board, forcing you to use incorrect tools like needlenose pliers to tighten, risking rounding out the cheap aluminum nut or slipping with the pliers as pressure is applied, risking damage to nearby sensitive components. No, standoffs are not an option since the designers, in their infinite wisdom, also saw fit to make the edge profile of the cover too damned short to allow you to use them, and even still having to trim off the post guards so they fit properly. This product has been around for literal years and still suffers from the same problems. Raspberry Pi Foundation should be ashamed and stop sponsoring it.

I just want to live in a world where CAD artists that cosplay as #engineers are forced to build the products they design in order to keep their jobs so guys like me can stop wasting time correcting their mistakes and get back to fixing things.

Nut? Leave room for the fucking tool, you dolts.

Give me that Google Assistant mod that sounds like a co-driver anytime, I am ready for it. We all are, at this point.

Sometimes I think how much better the world would be if everyone had a little voice in their head that said "hey, it's not about you" once in awhile

Working on creating my first solo journaling TTRPG which is turning out to be quite hard!

Hey, Happy Birthday! I hope it's fangtastic!

Yeeessssss

gripe your oars, and clutch your souls, now!

It's not the heat, it's the lack of humility.

So, Eight Billion Genies by @charlessoule.bsky.social and @ryanbrowne.bsky.social is so much fun that I just got it in the mail and I'm already a quarter way through it.

Haven't even thrown the packaging away, yet. It's just, there, on the floor.

Get this book!

A photo of benchly and his wife poking their faces through a wooden cutout that depicts a bunch of animal rumps. The holes where your head comes through is very conveniently located at the butthole, because sometimes things just work out that way.

Lots of photo ops in Uranus
