Feeling unreasonably cheesed-off that early-access Hades II only runs on Windows. I know, sooo very entitled....

@nfd I am wanting it on Mac, yes. The very, very expensive one I bought at the end of 2019, which contains no Apple silicon. 😬

Cows, goats, sheep, and one little feral pig who wants to be part of the crew.

Starting to get sick of this stuff, Brave. I should not be trying to figure how to turn this off, because it should never have turned on without asking me first.

@vincent I've been running Brave since it came out because when I close it, it wipes all history. All the crypto nonsense happened later.

@Alice maybe "faster" or "harder?"

They are just under two weeks old now. All eyes have opened, but they really won't be able to see for at least another week or two. Everyone is eating and growing well.

Fun fact: All kittens are born with blue eyes. For most kittens, their eye color will start to change around 6-7 weeks old. A few will keep their blue eyes, particularly if they have Siamese in them. But even though mom is part Siamese, these kittens won't have them.

@bbsmooth these two look like they will be an elite precision close-order napping team someday!

Google announces plan to shove AI into all its products then eventually remove AI from all its products

@Livingmarble this rings especially true: “Google has always been at the forefront of jumping on trendy techno bandwagons and then abandoning them either because our own version is terrible compared to existing products or because the technology itself has no utility,” said Google CEO Sundar Pichai. “We look forward to doing the same with our cutting edge AI, which we are as excited about as we once were about Google+ and Google Glass.”

Miss Kaylee turned fifteen and a half the other day; now she won't quit bothering me about getting her learner's permit.

Well, I did promise I'd come out to my brother if a non-binary performer won so I guess I'd better do it now. Just give me until tomorrow, I want to enjoy tonight without wanting to stress-vomit 😅

Aurora visible in Kaua'i County, HI-- oh, wait, no, it's a hibiscus flower. Sorry, carry on with your skywatching!

kentbrew,
@kentbrew@xoxo.zone avatar

@kingtor @soaproot nope, it is a crazy hibiscus hybrid. We have some orchids that are exactly aurora-colored but they are not blooming right now. See previous: https://xoxo.zone/@kentbrew/109700729839279126

This from @nzakas has me wondering whether the bad guys are already using large language models to analyze GitHub histories in search of single unpaid maintainers who can be pressured to open commit access. https://ckarchive.com/b/d0ueh0h4gn08duk4xx64otmx96444hl

Happy Monday, everyone.

The orangutan's trial has resumed and once again I'm glued to the blow-by-blow reporting by @GottaLaff. With court now in recess for lunch, it's time to post.

Taken a few weeks ago, here is a picture of one of the courtrooms at the James R. Browning Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Yes, this place is as serious as it appears here.
