@gedeonm@mastodon.social @bigzaphod@mastodon.social The ability to interact with Mastodon posts is huge for me. I’m using Tapestry way more as a result. I fully realize that’s not the original or primary purpose of the app, but it makes a big difference in how I use it.

There’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said, but Omarchy is a suspiciously random distro for 1Password to donate to, considering that the name only comes up in the context of controversy. If I had money burning a hole in my pocket I’d give it to literally anyone else. How about Hannah Montana Linux?

Nothing makes you regret your life choices quite like laying under the kitchen sink trying to tighten or loosen fittings you can barely reach.
Apropos of nothing, I was just thinking about the April Fool’s joke a few years back where pfSense announced they were switching their underlying OS from FreeBSD to Linux. Some people were excited, others mad or confused, and nobody thought it was funny. To my knowledge they never made any public attempt at damage control even after it became clear that people were taking it way too seriously.
@tychotithonus@infosec.exchange I thought of you immediately when I saw this. Looks like they're still standard YubiKeys but they come with a DuckDuckGo branded sleeve. https://www.yubico.com/yubico-and-duckduckgo/
The Lifetime Plex Pass subscription is going up to $750 on July 1! If you think you'll eventually want it, you should probably do it now. I'm sure there will be the occasional discounts, but how often and how much? https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/?signUp=0

@joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social Yeah probably. It’s not actually blocking anything, it’s just… there. 🦫
“I heard a few notes and I wasn’t sure if it was Harry Potter or Star Wars, since they’re written by the same person.”
“Really? I didn’t know J.K. Rowling made Star Wars.”
“Huh?”
“Oh never mind.”
