Wait so like… there's going to be a Windows 11 update that just removes WordPad? Like you have a program on your computer and Microsoft just straight up deletes it? https://www.spiceworks.com/tech/tech-general/news/goodbye-cortana-wordpad-tips-apps/

I like the wording of this question because it seems to imply a scenario where I joined the army sometime last July and got kicked out after three days

For the last two years I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening to Today" links here. Mastodon has some problems with threads containing hundreds of posts, so I re-create the thread once a year.

If you'd like to see, here's my "year two" thread: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/110266770603341546

Or, alternately, every song from year two in the least practical format possible: A 301-song, 38-hour YouTube playlist (note: video #1 contains flashing):

And here's the thread for "year three":

What I'm listening to today: "4 (part 1)", MSK (Dusan Zatkovsky)

This is a FastTracker2 (DOS) song from 1996, one of a few dozen untitled tracks this artist composed around that time. Starts with bitcrushed ambiance and then rises into epic dance beats. I feel like this track crystalizes the moment in which it was created in an amazing way. Makes me think of dark screens with glowing text and spaceships rising in low earth orbit and other things that existed in 1996.

Watched two videos debunking "free energy" devices today and so now the YouTube algorithm is trying to show me videos advertising "free energy" devices

Yelling "CONTEXT COLLAPSE!" at the end of the post in the same tone as "THE ARISTOCRATS!"

@futurebird oddly in addition to being true of etymology fans it is also true if you are a professional programmer

I wish there was a variant of sftp that used ssh for authentication and then dropped the encryption for transfer. I am transferring files over the local network and I do not care that our smart TV¹ is sniffing the packets. But what I do care about is that when I'm logging in my password not be sent in the clear²

² Where it will be captured by the nation-state actors which have compromised our smart TV

Hm.

So my cell provider has no good plan for roaming to Europe. So the last time I was in France, I got a local phone number and a SIM card so I could use Internet while I was there. It was a bit of a pain to get the SIM so I put it somewhere I'd be able to find it* when I next needed it.

Now I can't find it.

Can anyone think of a way to get a French cell phone SIM either without leaving Toronto, or without leaving Charles De Gaulle?

A THING I DO NOT LIKE ABOUT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE ERROR MESSAGES

Language: NullReferenceException, the object was null on line 37

Me: Which object?

Language: The one on line 37

Me: Yes, but which of the objects on line 37?

Language [patronizingly]: It was null

The new episode of Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night has a can of offbrand/WcDonalds Dr. Pepper with the logo saying "Dr. Sugar" and I was distracted from the very serious things happening by how cute this can of fake soda was

There was this one modular synthesizer module that I saw on YouTube, and I daydreamed about getting one for a long time, and I got so focused on it that I implemented my own version of it in C++ running on a SAMD, and then after awhile I actually got a chance to buy one, and I set it up, and I realized the version of it I had built myself from scratch actually sounded a little more interesting than the real one

I'm having a technical problem. This would be a great time to have access to services such as Reddit and Stack Overflow as opposed to those services now being traps that exist to sell your words to sketchy businesses so the sketchy businesses can eat the delicious statistical relationships therein and use them to sound more plausibly like humans when they're telling you to eat rocks

My memory's not so good so I deal with this by making lots of lists. My to-do- list for this week has a line that simply says "f". I have no idea what this was. It's most likely that it was such a short-time task I was certain by the time I looked at the list next the lone letter "f" would jog my memory into whatever it was I was trying to remember but, I guess it's also possible I just literally accidentally typed an "f" when I thought some other window had focus and it means nothing at all

An intrusive thought I return to often is how "I want a pony" is the canonical example of an unreasonable request but, like, if you look into it even a little you'll find it's not hard at all to acquire a pony. On raw purchase price a pony is far cheaper than a car and probably not much more than a good ebike. You're gonna have to invest time and money into pony upkeep but, of all the aspirational goals you could set yourself in life "a pony" is one of the more attainable ones
