1) Turn it into a book
2) Have Heath Miller narrate the audio version
3) ???
4) Profit
Just kidding, no magical step 3. Australia plus Heath Miller narrating *is* the magic.

Microsoft open-sources "the earliest DOS source code discovered to date"
Old 86-DOS source code dates back to the time before Microsoft bought it.

@arstechnica you folks should talk with Jim Harding who worked with Tim. He has the original SCP computer that ran those first builds they licensed to Microsoft. Might even have an old floppy or two with source on it.

Hmm... Idea: a D&D campaign with no evil.
NPCs just need help with stuff. Maybe there's a cat stuck in a tree. Maybe a cart is broken down on an old bridge and they need to help it get across before the bridge collapses. Maybe there was an earthquake, a flood, an avalanche.

@atpfm I’m sure @siracusa has talked about this, but I wonder how he uploads his iCloud Photo Library to Google Photos? Just good old Google Drive Mac app? As the system library as a plain folder? Because when I pointed it to my iCloud Photo Library (which is around 1TB), it uploads for like a day and just gives up (I also know about the daily upload limit).
@zhhz I use whatever the current Google Drive app is for macOS, and I point it at my Photos library. The reliability is not great! But it seems to eventually catch up.
@DXMacGuffin I like this one on the ukulele even better :D
hahahahahha brilliant, I love the heavy metal ukulele
Accessibility is hard. Setting mom’s new phone up and at the larger text sizes you can’t read what you’re supposed to say to Siri so you can’t progress 🥲

yeah the easiest way to tell nationalists apart from patriots is the former treat the country like a football team and the latter treat it like their home

As I enter my 30th year of being very happily married to a woman way out of my league, I have a message to young men: there is a secret to a successful relationship, it's being best friends with another couple where the man is a useless buffoon

P. S. Personally I'm not really big on the High Park cherry blossoms. It's a great time to observe ground-nesting bees like cellophane bees which are abundant among the cherry trees, but dealing with the crowds is more hassle than it's worth...I'd rather go on a less busy day to a less-visited area.

"I am no preacher, but what I have learned in my Baptist Church about the Old Testament prophets makes me suspect that God may not look very favorably on being asked to bless a government that is busy slamming its doors to refugees and taking food out of the mouths of hungry people while its corrupt leaders manipulate the system to enrich themselves."

Next week, Utah will become the first state in the nation (to our knowledge) to target VPN use to avoid legally mandated age-verification gates. They won't create a safer internet, only a significantly less private one. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/utahs-new-law-regulating-vpns-goes-effect-next-week
