In war torn Washington DC the National Guard has had to tackle an overgrowth of weeds in parks. The worst experience I have had so far in this awful hellscape is as I was attempting to get food at Union Station a flock of birds had gotten in and tried to steal my sandwich.

Stay safe out there fam!

These atrocities are a daily scourge here in Washington DC. The people of Portland have my deepest sympathies.

As a counter point you using AI actually inspired me to use it with my vintage tech. Win some/lose some. Use what is best in the moment. Not everyone is irrationally discriminatory on tech used.

Windows has a notification center where you can mute things like this, to be clear, this likely did come from a Firefox update that ran.

I am a huge FF supporter but not a fan of the way Windows obfuscates what is happening under the hood here and Mozilla should have tested scenarios like this.

I like having you here as well!

Good news! The logic board for my SE/30 #MARCHintosh is fine. The bad news, the ROM is the problem. I am trying to determine what is wrong with the ROM. Fortunately I do have an extra aftermarket ROM from @caymacvintage.bsky.social that I can use to test the logic board and continue with a recap.

In many ways the Internet is like a car. People tend to believe they are somewhat anonymous and can treat others terribly with very little blow back.

There are a couple on eBay but they are in the Midwest so not sure that is helpful to you.

Same with laundry detergent. The most financially and eco friendly solution is powder in a box.

Must be just an East Coast thing.

Muzak is still everywhere near me, if anything it has gotten obnoxiously louder at establishments in my city. I am not sure why.

Back in my younger days I worked at a grocery chain in the South and they used instrumental versions of popular hits. I hear those versions of songs much less these days.

The only sustainable smart home solutions are ones that do not have to be tied into multinational corporation.

I have long been looking for a portable solution that allows your phone to be the brains of a laptop-like experience.

Now a market is emerging for this with a product called a "Lapdock" that allows you to have one device for productivity and mobile. Android is slowly making moves to this platform.

Absolutely, switching to *nix isn't something you do in a few hours.
