- I don't think there's an argument here - it's happening.
- No one remembers history. When IBM and Microsoft partnered on OS/2, IBM got upset when a MS employee rewrote some code to be smaller and more efficient because “negative lines of code!”. Measure the wrong thing and you’ll get the wrong behavior. Incentives matter. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
- Latency is a myth invented by gamers who refuse to accept personal responsibility
- Really happy to see Steve Jackson Games (one of my favorite tabletop companies) put the digital files for 3D printing Munchkin Coins and the Munchkin Dice Tower into Creative Commons! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

- Yesterday I ordered bungee cords because I couldn’t find the ones I ordered months ago. Today…
- Reposted by Eric Neustadter (e)Sometimes I get a really good quote in. “Pointing out that AI is prone to giving ICE bad information is missing the entire point of ICE,” EFF’s @evacide told @RollingStone. “They don’t care if the information they have is good.” www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
- Reposted by Eric Neustadter (e)Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

- 3D scanning for reverse engineering continues to break my brain but I'm getting there. I was able to crank this out in about 30 minutes today and this would've been many hours of work not long ago. (no, it's not final but I'm marking progress here)
- I've been experimenting with Meshcore lately. I've got a repeater in my office that'll be mounted outdoor soon and some cool companion devices on the way! (also I'm building a cyberdeck for a TTRPG campaign so I might as well stick a LoRa HAT on my Rasberry Pi while I'm at it...)
- Reposted by Eric Neustadter (e)JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.
- I know online vendors are naming themselves by dropping a monkey on a keyboard these days but this might take the cake.
- Reposted by Eric Neustadter (e)To be clear, my intention here is not to complain, but to say this--seeking internet validation for being "right" isn't fulfilling (it's taken me a while to grasp this lol), bc ultimately that's not what the internet cares about. Just do the work and stand by your process.
- As someone who is frequently wrong, @minakimes.bsky.social nailed this: "You get nothing out of being proven right and only get... people take joy when you're proven wrong"

- I just unboxed a new monitor (20” 4:3 trisync LCD, stay tuned) and immediately labeled the power supply. Immediately. Labeled. The. Power. Supply. OLD DOGS CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS!
- This is terrible advice from an anonymous account you should not listen to. Don’t let randoms steer you wrong. I’ve been consistent on this front for a decade now. Just. Use. Signal.
