@burtonachitect @betsyphd spoiler alert: guess what was already wrapped and under the tree as a present..

@Saberspark honestly? I never got what I wanted... the main reason to grow up is so you can buy yourself all the stuff your parents never would 🙌

@JoannaStern god DAMN it

@NoKapRich this is literally the same thing as saying "casinos are doing more than Biden"

@mathowie damn son welcome to 1999 in our household

@tedtodorov @Pinboard @CoreyRobin thats the joke dot gif

@Pinboard @CoreyRobin We can post flyers in phone booths

@ID_AA_Carmack amazing how far SLI has fallen out of favor these days

@atmosfx https://t.co/BpfhKgJsvD

@Pinboard @CoreyRobin pluralities of the teeeny tiny fraction of people who vote, you mean. I'm with you: if we could get 18-24 year olds to vote en masse, that'd be.. helpful. MTV needs to take a break from Ridiculousness and rock the vote a bit harder

@zeynep I'm in for $1000! Thank you! 🙌

@mckee_eighty4 Windows 11 has the better window management tools and helps a lot!

@GroundedRaptor No, are those cool?

@wingedpig Crown & Paw! All @betsyphd

@LucPestille yeah, concur, I'm surprised how well it works after setup, considering the low-tech approach!

I got one of these for testing on our "old" 2018 OLED and.. I'll be damned if it doesn't work pretty well? You calibrate it with little orange foam stickers and the fisheye camera detects the colors on the edges of the screen. I can tentatively recommend!

@Hanzo55 it's very, *very* good

@Dygear Both!

@donpark No, I think 60fps is plenty unless you play esports competitively

@leahculver @pizzahut Hey I wanted to show you this :) https://t.co/2tiGH0URle

@TedDennison @bdurrett guys guys what the hell, I even updated the firmware on this thing! I'm not even joking!

@damienkatz https://t.co/OTV0JYD1uy

@bradezard @benjarom3 @adbrowning1 it's ergonomically better for your arms and hands, typically

@rolfascending in the above sequence of tweets, the cheap starter experiment is the magicforce I mentioned

The 73.4% of y'all at 80% and 100% should experiment with slightly smaller keyboards. So much variety out there these days. And USB connected keypads. ;)

@eric1980 @buffa82 so true -- I turned to my son at the end sequence and said "this feels like a zombie movie now"

@Carnage4Life cosigned -- one of the first things we learned at @discourse is that setting up email hosting (it's required for Discourse setup) is one of the hardest problems in computer science -- I'm not joking even a little. And free email hosting providers are a dying breed.

@chx (In the USA I mean)

@chx Masking is omnipresent now but prior to 2018 virtually unknown.

@championswimmer @spolsky @StackOverflow I would not say narcissistic, just (in that case) wildly inconsistent with earlier statements. Beyond that.. "You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain.”

@Pinboard I can stop tweeting any time I want to!

@chetfaliszek Omg I loved this movie Chet

This is what a world war looks like in today’s society. We’re still in the thick of it.

@realDotNetDave @gnosys I thought it was ok. Certainly better than Matrix 3 which was *disastrous*. 65/100 feels just about perfect to me for this movie

@Carnage4Life Be interesting to compare Nest here, there are still (!) rough edges with google home app vs nest app

@Pinboard Everyone doing work on the house, I ask them “how is business” and every time the response is “I’ve never been so busy”

@HDergler @ID_AA_Carmack Look at the history of VHS, DVD, cable, internet.. if it is new and it does not have a significant porn component, something is very off

@textfiles sweet jaysus

@HDergler @ID_AA_Carmack https://t.co/Xm6KpTVczu https://t.co/Uw3daeDsrM

@chucker @gsuberland Another reply said the colored sides peel off over time, so maybe that.. I just got mine

@huffingjay Oh noooo

The best fridge magnet (from Etsy) https://t.co/GKD3U8vY5C

@ID_AA_Carmack this is another reason I think the "web3" thing is mostly bad news. Handful of good ideas in there, but sooo much grift. Another warning sign is that porn is nowhere to be seen, which is the usual harbinger of useful new tech

@IAmDougLewis I said 4+ times, Mr. Rules Lawyer ;)

@joncojonathan @Khaled_E No worries it is here https://t.co/2ih89PL7Yn

@tqbf doesn't feel right though. It is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

@RockBand kudos to @harmonix for keeping the Rock Band flame alive all these years. Y'all rock 🤘🔥

@tqbf it depends. I've blocked out of pure spite before.

and yes I have been guilty of both of those things at times, and I'm sorry for it, and I always try to do better

I don't block people who disagree with me. I block people who are either rude or argumentative to the point of absurdity (replying 4+ times in sequence).

@kevin2kelly these are lovely

@eviltrout eeek sending 🤗

@kevinpriester that really brings back memories! And the automated transcription tools have gotten a LOT better since then too..

@Khaled_E I got mine on Amazon

@Carnage4Life good parts: people getting paid for their creative work (micropayments at last?), more diversity in online communities. bad parts: almost everything else

This object is surprisingly pleasant to play with https://t.co/7R8LIWclS4

@Pinboard Good thing democracy is a super fast, incredibly efficient system

@mhluongo @kelseyhightower @discourse 🙌 amazing! If we can ever be of assistance don't hesitate to contact me. I love talking to people who run active Discourse instances. It is feedback gold.

@mhluongo @kelseyhightower Sure. Check out @discourse

@deadprogrammer That worked out well!

@scottwasson let us know how it goes -- post review

@textfiles why not both dot gif

@stevesi definitely a NIMBY thing going on. That's why I like the YIMBY pushback.

@washingtonpost wasn't this what you were asking for @Pinboard? Any celebratory tweets incoming?

@danpfeiffer @ClipperChip if it bleeds, it leads..

@susanthesquark We called this "I do!" and it is a super fun developmental milestone for kids. So satisfying to see their eyes light up when they accomplish things on their own.

@deadprogrammer https://t.co/8j3UqwdEMG

I just added this classic from Etsy https://t.co/2y7Oanc21K

@noahpryor @tqbf that's true and thank god

@lizardbill yeah it looks GREAT. The giant visage of Ben Carson was the first red flag

@susanthesquark We have this tree https://t.co/tRNi7QAqHr I also got a set of four different types: festoon, icicle, string, and curtain

@donpark This is the best description of web3 I've read

@tqbf My point is that the R party does not tolerate dissent. Incredibly *effective* tribalism

@susanthesquark Highly recommend the Twinkly ecosystem

@xor aaaaannd they're gone

@susanthesquark we have a Twinkly fake tree and love it!

@tqbf Doesn’t matter. If he was R he would vote straight party line on literally everything.

@rossrubin I already have the hallmark NES

@awalker_dev Love it

@Braxo I love it! Where can I get one?!

@rhettford yesss I have this, I use it as a desk accessory!

@mattblaze @__________siah_ @HarmlessReply I foresee many tweaks here. One thing that is immediately annoying is you can’t share AirTags within a family! That’s nuts!

@Pinboard Senate

@Pinboard Does anyone like Manchin exist on the R side? Who regularly votes against big R initiatives? Can you point them out, if so?

@Pinboard I bet he ends up running for re-election. If Kamala runs it's an instant, definitive loss

@johnolilly @JDBet45 We have the fake twinkly branded tree. It's worked well so far and looks good!

@Pinboard yep, so the bad news can allow everyone to shoot the messenger. Like clockwork.

@mattkmclean Twinkly app

@johnolilly Yeah a lot of these need to go outside

@PedroACunha It’s on the counter where you brush your teeth. Not in the shower / toilet area :)

@tfmessenger Resetting to factory defaults and trying again (twice!) worked.

@nayar_amit Aha yes that worked. It took two tries but it took!

@nayar_amit That’s a good idea. Let me do a factory reset on one of them and set it up again

@TitPetric I know but this one is weird. The devices are very simple, I'm just mystified as to what I could be doing wrong. I have three, set up the same.. one of them shows the camera. The other two spin forever.

@twang @iampaulgrewal not so much here, or here.. but *here*

@__apf__ what next? dresses with pockets?? let's be reasonable here

@sh4na will it blend?

@andraganescu @Pinboard not really.. they're gonna kill the messenger, because the message is "oh yeah, that pandemic which totally sucked? it's gonna continue forever. Enjoy!"

@MPSellitto @Pinboard you know he's right. I'd prefer if we doubled down on masking (with higher quality masks, kn95) and getting cheap tests in the hands of as many people as possible.
