It's really interesting to see how public perception is created, distorted, and propagated via social media. This is nothing more than puffery, and it's pretty disgusting.

The Solent in one picture. Commerce, Leisure, and Tourism. It wasn't the prettiest place but it had a certain energy.

Ooh new Megadeth Album finally out. I refuse to say 'dropped' like some Twitter dickhead. I'm a fedi dickhead. Totally different.

If any app runs full screen it locks that monitor down and you can't move any other applications to it until it is resized.

Open a new window? Completely random where it goes.

Dual monitor on MacOS is a complete shitfest, it amplifies the strange behavior of Window management that's already there, e.g. some apps just drop focus and you can't get it back without a long press on the dock icon.

It's Friday my little computer friends. We made it!

@checkervest lol you are a hoot ❤️

Twitter circles surely a formal recognition it's a toxic shitpile

Lets see what Dell/EMC have for me this week

I was getting lunch at our noodle counter and the girl ahead of me was stumbling to express herself, so she started speaking in what I think was Chinese, and in about 10 seconds the whole counter staff were chatting away. I'd never witnessed this before (maybe it's discouraged?) but I thought it was very cool in the same way being in an airport has so many sounds of far away places.

They have a credit on the excellent Phoenix Point, but I do not have much hope for thus project.

I note that as of 22.04 Ubuntu only offers Firefox as a Snap, they're not packaging it in the standard repo anymore. Not sure how I feel about that.

@MmeLibertine How did it go?

I had one of those weird running late dreams but it was unlike all the others, I had to make an interview for a Fashion magazine in London and kept getting lost and delayed. It was also raining. So strange.

I think the thing I enjoyed the most about Better Call Saul was how it avoided the trap of prequels; It did not couple itself too tightly to breaking bad and became compelling in its own characters and story. The finale was great and touched on the things that really mattered to the story, namely Jimmy and Kim.
