So, Amazon.ca courrier Intelcom / Dragonfly tried to deliver a package at 10:50 PM, which woke me up but couldn’t answer the door quickly enough. Only warning was an email sent 3 minutes before, while I was asleep. “Next day delivery” is now one week late. Garbage service.

So I just completed a survey from @bitwarden.bsky.social that suggested they want to double the price of their premium plans. That would majorly suck. Good thing I started migrating to @proton.me Authenticator for 2FA…

My 2019 "gaming" PC is now exactly the minimum requirements for Borderlands 4. I'll stay on my Xbox Series X for new games, I guess.

I watched the movie Inland Empire recently, and David Lynch made use of the early digital camera sensors' visual artifacts to great effect. Chemical film is expensive, wasteful and terrible for the environment, and directors insisting on using it are just stuck in the past.
