@TheCodeLorax I’m sure it would be fine (other than the storage space hassles). But that’s no way to live!

I have another suggestion: Apple should send me a highest-possible-spec M5 Ultra Mac Studio so I can see what I’m missing!

@yaelwrites or chains to attach the chairs to the table

@ai6yr WHAT.

Tens of thousands of people, maybe more, are about to get their first taste of solar power, they're about to do what I did when I first saw the power coming in, the theoretical becomes visceral and it changes everything about how you see the world

This is really great news.

Balcony solar isn't, like, a Proper Massive Solar Setup that can power your whole entire house, but it's dead simple, there's a tiny inverter on the back of the panel and you just plug it straight into the wall and tell your dishwasher to do its thing tomorrow at noon.

No battery involved, don't need permission, don't need an electrician, just plug it in. Very quick and easy.

Six hundred quid for now 'cause they've JUST become legal, but I promise you right now Aldi are rubbing their hands together and figuring summat out for the middle aisle

"I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. It is completely psychotic."

Hello, fellow Canadians.

The Federal Goverment has an online questionnaire you can fill in to tell them how you think they should proceed with the federal budget later this year.

Spoiler alert: WE NEED UBI, universal basic income would help so many Canadians.

A lot of the form is rich people bullshit, so politely remind them of Canada's vulnerable under the "Other" option.

@thegibson That's fantastic, and I'm just really enjoying seeing the veilid protocol grow and get some working apps on top of it - things like stigmerge, scrapwire, maypole, and now this thing you're working on - I really can't wait to have a set of comms tools that are secure by design and from inception.

What we should have had all along.

It just does my heart good to be here at the birth of what I hope becomes the new foundation for decentralized and secure communication from people that care very deeply about privacy and security and know how to break it so they know how to make it.

Exciting times, my friend. I am totally here for it! And if you get to a point where you need beta testers, HMU - would love to help bring these apps to fruition for "the average jo".

@lilithsaintcrow Yum, Yum! Enjoy

I've been looking for Dolly bake mixes for months, but haven't seen any, guess I just don't know where to shop :)

Rode my bike down to the Biodiversity Park and took a selfie with a young 200 year tree! ... https://micro.chadkohalyk.com/2026/08/29/rode-my-bike-down-to.html

I opened up Apple Maps' search box and its new ads suggested I go to JetBlue Airways, the JetBlue terminal at JFK airport 39 miles away.

I opened up Google Maps' search box, and 100% of the screen space is devoted to my presets (Home/Work/etc.) and my Recent searches.

Apple continues to embarrass itself with its shitty ad plays.

In the meantime, I'll keep using Google Maps, because it's just *better*, and — something I never thought I'd say — it respects me more as the user, with fewer ads. 🤯
