Docs and downtime. Boulder-based.
I don't know what I'd even talk about with a stranger, to be honest.

I seem to be happier the less I use anything with a screen. More investigation required.

Every time I go to write a new blog post, my brain just plays dial-up internet noises until I close the editor.

Maybe I should install irssi again... I'm sure it's only happy, friendly people on IRC these days.
As one of the most popular IRC (Internet Relay Chat) clients, mIRC brought real-time online communities to life in the ’90s. Today, mIRC still serves a dedicated base of developers, hobbyists, & open-source communities.

If only cops had some way to identify each other.
holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

This is cool, and I bet they come out ahead financially, but I do wonder how much the it'll cost to support end users, do the overall migration, and fight compatibility issues vs their Microsoft license.

As bad as I feel for this guy, I can't imagine blindly running a script locally, regardless of the author. This is a sad version of "play dumb games, win dumb prizes."
chat is this for real? 🫣 sadly it is www.reddit.com/r/ableton/co... i hope you learned lessons and not trusting it blindly

The combination of tranquil photos of nature and moderately spicy technology/political takes this app chooses to show me is so disorienting.

It might be in among "WWE Raw", "Joe Biden", "Trump Lawsuit" and "Eurovision", but that's actually pretty cool to see.

This is exactly what I came back to the internet for. I might have gone the rest of my dull, under-cremed life without knowing this.
apparently you can just buy two pounds of oreo filling

I left the internet in 2020. Still not sure it's safe to come back yet. Apparently this is where the cool people hang out now?
