Thinking of using Bluesky as a window into me 🤔

Follow me if you’re curious what I’m up to, what I’m into, what I care about, what I like, and what I dislike.

Even if you don’t care about any of that, we can at least be mutuals here 🥰

Dear #apple,

You created the best iPod when you created the iPod nano!

I wish you made it so it was third party moldable to add more storage.

Adding ai slop to Disney plus as if Disney content hasn’t been shit lately… is a bold move from Disney.

Now, not only will you be able to watch a curated list of corporate shit content, but it will now be mixed with ai slop…

Bob Iger says Disney+ will have AI-generated content on the platform by the end of September 2026

OpenAI's Sora will be able to AI generate 30-second videos based on 250 characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars

The iPod nano 7th gen is objectively the best iPod Apple ever made.

I’m not talking about ease of repairs or upgrades. I meant the features.

• Bluetooth
• 2” touch screen
• Home button
• App layout instead of endless menus
• FM radio
• Lightning
• Physical buttons

To the MP3 Player community…

Does anyone have a recommendation for a music player that plays lots of formats even video, has a micro sd card slot, USBc, buttons (touch screen is ok as long as it has buttons), is NOT ANDROID base?

Lately I have been thinking of limiting my screen time. Specifically my phone. And I also have seen a rising trend of owning physical media. Lately, I have been thinking of doing the same. Not only have I built a home nas system where im hosing my own cloud services... (1/2)

Let me make it clear I’m against Netflix acquiring Warner Bros Discovery. That would concentrate corporate power in ways that harm consumers and distort American politics. But Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros would be worse.

Donald Trump and David Sacks aren't making policy – they're running a con. This executive order does little to protect innovation or the interests of Americans.

California will continue building a nation-leading innovation economy while implementing common sense safeguards.

Hey Bluesky! It’s been a while…

Some updates on my life… I have started my NAS build, and his name is Sheldon!

Sheldon also has a friend — Pixel 9 Pro Fold running GrapheneOS — as a dedicated client.

If you are protesting this weekend. Do so peacefully. Do so thoughtfully.

Trump is hoping you don’t. He is seeking a reason to crack down harder. Do not give him one.

Continue to speak out. Continue to use your voice.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Starting January 1st, Californians will be able to buy five-packs of insulin pens via CalRx® for a maximum recommended price of $55 per pack.

Every Californian should be able to access life-saving medications without breaking the bank.
Breaking: Starting next year, Californians with diabetes will be able to purchase state-branded insulin at steeply reduced prices, Gov. Newsom announced today. Long-acting insulin pens will be available at pharmacies for $11 per pen beginning Jan. 1. https://cal.news/3W7SDZW

One of my biggest pet peeves is when iOS app developers do not make dark icons for their apps… or change them from dark to light, even when my home screen is set to dark icons.

I’m looking at you Affirm!

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

First purchase for NAS has been done.

• Terramaster F6-424 max
• 1TB Samsung 990 Pro
• Crucial 64GB RAM kit
• 24TB Seagate IronWolf Pro HDD

This will get my personal cloud started, and once I pay this off, I’ll be adding more drives.
