"Introduce yourself with four spaceships"

At first I chose Serenity, the Gunstar, a Y-Wing (yes! a Y-wing!), and Thunder Road, but that's just introducing some pop culture stuff I thought was neat when I was a kid. It's not introducing me.

These spaceships are much, much more me.

I just made up a new word that I needed: inquestigating

So I figured it was incumbent on me to make up a dictionary definition for it too.

Repost with an iconic fictional band.

I've read that Sanskrit is a cool language because it has so many single words for complex ideas.

I wonder if they were created the same way that we create new words in English for ease of use online. Like, this is now officially part of English, apparently, and I'm all for it, because it's 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭.

Wow. Just, wow. If you didn't already know that talking to an #AI about anything except the weather was a bad idea, well, our "friends" at #Facebook / #Meta just kindly made the reason for that very, 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 clear:

Do you think Microsoft ever looks at the Steam Hardware Survey results?

This is from September. I'm looking forward to reviewing these numbers for October 14th onward.

I'll take "Names I'm Glad Never Caught On" for $600, Alex.

It cracks me up that, 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺, in 𝘴𝘰 many ways, the first contact I've had with Zuck's AI is an unsolicited DM with a 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 attempt to sell me something he'll use to spy on me and everyone around me to make him and his techbros richer.

And I can't block the sender.

QT this post with someone you wish was still alive

I don't usually like posting a snap of someone else's post when I don't even know where it came from, but, my god, this is so painfully true. They really, really don't like it when we're able to do what they want us to pay them to do.

Some of yall can’t handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know:

I'm not super happy to have a Big Bang Theory character in the first spot, but otherwise this works for me.

OH HELL NO

Did anyone do this? What do they ask about? Like, why is there screen and audio recording?

I mean, what the ever-lovin'...

So... THIS just happened in my win10 start menu. 😵

@microsoft.com @xbox.com @xboxp3.bsky.social

This is from the current Steam hardware survey.

Notice the significant trend, in spite of the fact that Win10 support ENDS this year.

People are downgrading. People dislike Win11.

READ THE ROOM.

OMG if there was anything to make me like bsky, this option is it:

I turned off YT browsing history ages ago, because eff google. This is all I see on YT's homepage these days. Honestly, I prefer it this way. I use the notifications and my own pre-existing interests to decide what to watch. Life is better without inviting diversions.
