I'm so glad this failed, you can either be secure or not. There is no such thing as a safe backdoor, it will be found and used by the ones you are trying to keep out. techcrunch.com/2025/05/09/f...

Since the 1970s, we have reduced our air and water pollution levels have dropped by 78% -- hopefully we don't revert this trend

haha, so I logged out of facebook from everything weeks ago and got an email saying I was tagged in something. So I wanted to see it, probably just spam, but I literally cannot login. I have a TOTP 2FA setup that it isn't giving me as choice to use.

Whoa, that is really clever. I was reading an article that the actors finally saw the ending and were surprised but this makes sense.

Turns out #WhiteLotus producers filmed 6 alternate endings to the show in order to prevent leaks. Though, they always knew how things were going to turn out.

I really enjoyed this podcast and in particular this episode. Tldr the wealthy feel just as powerless and are avoiding the real problems, if everyone would just try to help each other we could solve real issues instead of made up ones. pca.st/episode/b5f6...

TIL - Bears don't actually hibernate all winter, only small animals like chipmunks, bees, snakes, mice hibernate while most larger animals enter a lighter state of sleep called torpor, where they can wake up easily if needed.

Nooooo, I'm happy for the Pixelmator team but this probably means #Apple is going to get rid of this app for whatever they are planning to release. My favorite #photoshop alternative.

One of my favorite TED talks is Does Money Make you Mean?

tldr; YES it definitely does.

Guess my #docker needs a clean install again, this comes up every couple months on multiple machines so I'm not that surprised by it, just annoyed.

I realized I spend too much time on Meta owned social media so let's give bluesky a try
