I guess the executives who run tech companies never actually use their products, else this web team would be fired, yeah?

(this also explains AppleTV remotes, fridge ice-makers, AirDrop, airplane seatback entertainment system menus....)

My suspension-of-disbelief was shaken by Brian Posehn in scene 1; I abandoned The Mandalorian a few episodes in.

A year or whatever later, I'm trying to catch up, and... Bill Burr? Richard Ayoade?! I can't take this child's entertainment product seriously!

needs a third option: “This is not the same DEVO.”

national handwriting day? do I win a prize?

I loved this game but it was impossible. I had the tool to make this change but not the info -- this would've made things so much better! #SwordOfKadesh

TIL not only can you use Feedbin to follow Twitter accounts*, you can also use it to follow lists. Just added: Om's list of 25 worthwhile journalists.

*I don't like giving the platform even this iota of attention, but I want to keep up w/ a few people & this is the only way.

I'm seeing a lot of praise from web devs re: the new whitehouse.gov but not as much talk about how it gives you two (2) white-nationalist clubhouses to choose from.

I've been having massive performance problems with Docker on my RPi. This guide and its custom image have really improved things. (I was wary about a non-Raspbian image but if it works, it works.)

I got another ARC from NetGalley, something that was on my to-read list already -- A Master of Djinn, by P. Djèlí Clark. My spoiler-free review:

Dear Hollywood,

Please throw your grandad's boring-ass comic books in the trash, quit with the endless retreads, and make big summer movies out of stories like this explosive mystery in alternate-history/steampunk-y/djinn-laden early 20C Cairo.

Regards, A non-fan.

RIYL: Stross's Laundry Files, but you wish that there were fewer wise-cracking white dudes and that most of the ~mystic woo~ was (were?) Egyptian-flavored.

Great mystery/adventure. If you're not sure about the setting, give 2016's A Dead Djinn in Cairo a shot. Shorter and free from Tor. (And which I think I need to re-read, now...)

Not terribly long, but at least I made it in a hurry!(?)
