Mastodon is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of toots.

If I didn't work from home, I'd probably just not have home internet. My mobile phone speeds are identical or superior to most cable companies anymore.

Now that unlimited data plans are the norm, does anyone even look at their data usage anymore? I haven't looked in months.

I really feel the future of transportation is less Tesla and more electric bikes and powerful public transit.

The amount of things that can be done is amazing.

This will be the year I finally build my electric bike. The cost of the parts are finally adorable enough.

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers was better than Dr Strange 2.

My favorite part of the new #Pipewire audio system is how effortless all the audio programs just connect to one another now.

Remember, Woocommerce is free. If you need any functionality outside of that, there are plenty of paid addons.

My client just had to drop $300+ in addons. 🤣

Is this blasphemy?

Bruce Wayne would have been a guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast.

Spiderman is a better character than Batman.

He just a kid trying to make the world better.

Batman just doesn't want to pay taxes. Total libertarian.

I might be depressed. Not sure. Gonna try to clean something and take a nap. ♥️

After about a month using #Tailscale for remote access there are some pros and cons.

PRO: Works almost transparently on Linux. I mount my NAS and desktop folders in Gnome Files as if I was on the local network no matter where I am.

CONS: Android applications just FAIL sometimes if I'm connected. Lyft and Google RSC and unusable so I have to disconnect to use those apps.

So far overall, I love it.

Here's the link to the video. It's 24fps at 1080p. Feel free to use for any reason whatsoever.

Totally stole the idea from @vkc about a Batman style transition animation. I got the blender project on Git. Feel free to improve upon it. I'll have the high resolution video uploaded soon.

If someone wants to make some non-infringing audio to go with it, that'd be awesome.

Been using the a Transit app lately. It does a good job of letting me know how far away the bus is. So far more accurate than the Moovit app or Google Maps.

Also, native dark mode.
