Absolutely despicable. There are so many reasons I'd never buy a Tesla and this is just another.

How the fuck do I follow a hashtag. I figured this out before?
Oh here's the problem, there needs to be a post that exists already with it.

A little saddened by the poll results.
Alt text isn't only for those with vision problems!
I sometimes provide more info or context to stuff in the pic, as it's kinda awkward to try to describe 4 pics in the main body of post.
Also if I am describing what is seen, I try to do so in a way that would make sense if one couldn't see, so maybe it’s a lil awkward to read sometimes.
But anyway, try reading folks’ alt text / desc more! Uncover a whole new world.

Apparently for every OpenBSD release they also produce/release a custom song?? TIL

#OpenBSD #BSD #UNIX

(edit: oh and they apparently also release a custom shirt every release too https://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html ...site hasn't been updated for a few versions tho! but store is selling latest)

Umm so uh.... has every search engine that DDG aggregates all flip on the "only show AI content farm bs" switch??

Past couple days... if you attempt to look up even basic facts or questions... 90% of the results are all garbage.

Apparently #uBlacklist supports syncing in lists... anyone know of one already for blocking this kinda crap? Or dare I spin up my own and share it? Blocked like 20 in just a couple days.

Automat action. @fattykun would approve.

Croquet log thing that I can only describe as filled with country gravy, or something just like it. Tasty and instantaneous.

That's a fucking lie #LinkedIn

That #furry trope of "You are allowed one fursona species change and that is it. Across entire furry life." xD

What if there was a thermos that had some sort of built-in heat pump thing? Like the heat or cold of the fluid inside is enough to drive some reaction of the refrigerant? But would need some kind of additional power source too.

Huh maybe if I saw this back in 1st year Uni I wouldn't've failed Calc 1 and would've stayed in the CS program? Could've been a dev. But nah, swapped over to IS&T degree (already met its math req). Kinda was more what I wanted to do anyway though. I still sometimes do wonder.

How come I've suddenly had three furries (that I actually know too) follow me on #Duolingo just now ? X>
I haven't even used it in a year or so.

Well that took all fuckin day but I think I got the ups/nut configuration working again. Update broke it awhile back and have grated my face on it previously but now it's crunch time and finally got it done.

Full test would involve draining UPS battery too and seeing what happens and verify things happen as expected / quick enough but really rather not cycle those batteries more than necessary, it never likes that.

Also proxmox notification stuff prev upgraded and finally got that working too.

Mastodon / fedi clients should have an option to embed any entered alt text in the image EXIF tags where possible (assuming it's not) and another option to auto populate on attach if it finds prior.

Every time I see the WWF panda logo, I remember something from high school, when someone wrote "PANDA 3:16" on one of those stickers.
It was when Steve Austin was big, and we thought that sticker was the funniest shit ever.
