Busy as hell today, but always gotta make time for Tidbits...

Science fiction author: "I have created this extremely alien alien."

Biologists: "We have an insect that does that."

Marjorie Taylor Greene is, and short of divine intervention will always be, a septic bucket of human waste and we need to not lose sight of this fact.

Offbeat request for help. I’m looking for a review essay by John Updike, called Female Pilgrims, first published in The New Yorker, 1982 and republished in Hugging the Shore, a 1983 collection of Updike’s essays and reviews. If anybody could share a pdf or screenshots, I’d be grateful.

I attempted a wifi card swap in this HP Compaq Mini 700. I removed the stock Broadcom BCM94312HMG and added an Atheros AR5BHB92 (as the AR9280 chipset is supported by #OpenBSD and can do dual band).

Much to my surprise it refuses to boot now. Vendor lock-in is a terrible thing.

Any hints for bypassing such checks?

Toot v26.0 has been released!

https://toot.to/

This long-awaited update brings a UI refresh for iOS 26, and support for quote toots. Also, even device on older iOS versions get some of the UI improvements. There are many other smaller improvements and bug fixes as well, such as better support for filters. There might even be new mystery features?

A big thanks to everyone who helped out to beta test this release. Thanks to them, it is far more stable than it would have otherwise been!
