Careful there, Dean. Coman can only afford maybe two emotions per production at your level.
@decryption @Kels_316 Ha! I guess you're right.

The ultimate cowardice of our time isn't cruelty or greed.
It's the refusal to care.
We've spent 30 years performing apathy as sophistication - treating enthusiasm as "cringe" and detachment as wisdom.
But detachment is just fear at work.
Here's why we need élan back:

Hey Lazyweb, I assume Autodesk have completely enshittified Fusion so you absolutely must buy it to keep using it now?
@jpm I swore it off years ago. I want my designs to not be at risk of being held ransom for an arbitrary amount at any point in the future. Nor do I want to risk features suddenly going behind a paid version. Nope.
I gave my parents numbered copy 1/50 of my zine. Having only ever seen the word written down, my mother pronounced it to rhyme with 'vine'.
I think we should all do this. It's adorable 🤗
@dajb That's how I pronounce it too :)

If you support "age verification" online, you are supporting a system that GUARANTEES privacy meltdowns -- endangering all of us -- because the giant databases of scanned IDs are perpetually hacked by criminals who sell private data. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/09/03/hackers-had-a-live-feed-of-every-id-this-verification-company-scanned-for-over-a-year/

Injust noticed that our IDs display our birthdates under a blacklight so now all of my high school stoner friends are going to know how old I am.

Good news! The long awaited Iron Maiden polo shirt is FINALLY available to help you meet your business casual needs!
@decryption @Kels_316 I'm thinking when my parents (finally, for god's sake) cark it I might get rid of the fuckers out of my life. I hate cars on principle (they are the enemy of cities and a good life, plus I have egregious complaints about the way car design and associated nonsense has evolved which is insultingly idiotic and needlessly costly) and would only need one very occasionally. It also shits me how few car rental places there are.
Interesting take from the CTO of Bluesky
tfw you're using an appliance, and you suddenly realize, "whoever designed this has never actually used one of these".
I have a new-to-me "mini-fridge". It has a shelf--very nice--and the shelf goes halfway towards the back of the fridge, and then encounters a 1" taller plastic bump.
Meaning that the shelf can only hold things that are shallower than the shelf or can tolerate being stored on a 15 degree tilt.
I'm thinkin', "You never really had a fridge before, did you?"
