I've always found it a bit of a shame that Apple was always so belligerent to the "geekier" side of things because their history is full of interesting little tidbits and side stories that could have grown into something neat. In the 90's OSA (roughly speaking […]

Lockheed is running ads for Trump's "Golden Dome," and I'm not even sure which of the several layers of dystopian to complain about here.

Spoooooky. I guess my ISP is having a rager of a company halloween party or something. So I guess I'll just sit here in the dark and not watch Community reaction videos on YouTube.

My phone is giving me a Heat Advisory. And I dunno if this is about shitty AI, or bad data availability in light of the government shutdown, but stuff we were able to take for granted just don't work right any more.

I love that Prime Video has a database that doesn't handle nulls properly, so they list a bunch of actors' birthdays as being in the year 0001.
It's extra funny if you look up an actor that was in a time travel TV show.

It's still not a good idea to trust machine translation, no matter how much the AI maximalists hype up the idea that you don't need to bother learning a language. Or else you'll be eating Collapses with cabbage and dumplings with Bronze.

Google reshuffling UI again for no reason, but it wants a lot of credit for it. HEY A THING YOU DONT USE HAS MOVED SLIGHTLY.

Anyhow, this needs some cosmetic tweaks to be a bit more obvious, and some performance changes. But after bloody minded hacking all over the audio buffer handling, there can now be audio waveforms on the clips in the timeline.

I probably shouldn't take "I've been so lazy about committing that this commit is now too large for Github to be willing to display" as a twisted badge of honor that means I've been productive. But hey, you catch the ego puffery where you can get it.

I have way more important things that I should be doing. But I finally have a (really terrible) bluescreen/greenscreen keyer working in my janky little node graph compositing/video editing #vfx app that I've been playing with.
Admittedly, it's not "Avatar."

Here's something a little counterintuitive. CBP arrests are down. ICE arrests are way up, and CBP has had resources pulled away from regular duties to support ICE, but they aren't logging as many of their own arrests.
