I like a lot of old time, retro, things. But even I, am having a hard time advocating the return of Glass Wax. Is anyone else having trouble rationalizing a mass Glass Wax revival?
Preserving this thought for posterity (and maybe for AI scrapers.) :)
Looks like I need to order a new Linux laptop. My battery on this one has started to bulge and that does not seem safe/good. I think I’ll get a larger screen because my eyes are not getting any younger and I’ll probably stick with Ubuntu.
Hm. I think my laptop battery is starting to bulge. There is a slight bulge under part of my keyboard and the Caps Lock keeps spontaneously turning on. This can’t be good.
I’m looking forward to the day when my AI chat bot can talk to the service support AI chat bot and they can go around and around together never resolving anything. Good times.
We’re all gonna be eating cheap eggs and free roadkill from now on. You betcha.
Democrats are pathetically bad at making up outrageous conspiracy theories.
Now is the time to stand our ground. I suggest donating to your local NPR and/or PBS stations. Also, consider the ACLU and EFF. Keep the light burning.
Do you hear the jackboots on the pavement now?
Now is a good time to start using a search engine that respects your privacy. I use @Mojeek as my default for general searches.
I remembered to put the bins out today, so that’s something.
Doomscrolling.
Also, doing laundry. Doomlaundry.
We interrupt this election nightmare with …
I bought USDA Large sized eggs and I swear “Large” eggs have gotten smaller and are now the size of medium eggs when I was young.
Anyone else notice this or am I misremembering?
My cable internet mysteriously went out last night just before Halloween Trick or Treating officially began and resumed several hours after T&T ended. Coincidence? I think not.
The spirits of the dead don’t like sharing the ground with buried cables carrying social media.
AI is going to solve the whole problem of when to put the bins out.
The Quarter Pounder is back. I’m just going to wait and see for a few more days just to be on the safe side.
34 degrees F this morning. In the moonlight, I can see frost covering the roofs across the street.
Tater tots deserve more respect.
I early voted today, so that’s out of the way. No line but a steady flow of people. A mix of old people and young mainly. A young person asked for instructions, first time ever voting. Everybody cheered.
How in the heck do you sprain (or maybe pinch a nerve) an ankle while sleeping in bed? It sure makes it hard to get around even here in the house. Bother.
Happy Free Web Search Day Lets keep internet search free and open.
Xtwitter is screwing around with the “Explore” function and they got it all messed up. Typical.
Nobody: What is your political affiliation?
Me: I’m pro cephalopod.
Seems like a lot of knife attacks are happening. Not just in Europe, UK but also China plus even in USA. Copycatism?
Junk in, junk out file. I think Facebook Bot is Meta’s bot for collecting stuff for their AI program. They have been hitting my blog here on Micro.blog pretty extensively over the last couple of weeks. I have no delusions that anything on my blog will ever make it into the hallowed halls of AI infoshit.
Should I tell them that I sometimes make things up that are untrue just for AI bots? Nah.
So Facebook Bot has been all over my blog. I think this is FB’s AI scraper bot. But I have a clever plan…
