Oh, right. Today's a good day to get off the internet.

Jesus Christ. Waze rerouted me AGAIN and I didn't notice. Why the hell is it so hard to make it an option "small local reroutes are fine but I want to use this route, not the other (very different) one".

How's the pixel 8a, fediverse? I like my 4a very much but it's hit by the battery issue with the mandatory upgrade.

I'll miss the audio jack port but I need an adware-free and easily rooted phone more. The 8a seems... okay.

I'm trying to set up a new Windows machine for my Mom. It's Windows 11. This is the wost UX I've seen in years. People actually pay for this shit?

The only thing I'm interested to know about the switch 2 is whether the controller's joysticks will have hall effect sensors.

Just finished getting through Dune: Prophecy. That was... not great. I won't be watching season 2.

Using CAD is neat.

I realized I messed up one of my initial constraints (two points had to coincide, but I chose the wrong anchor to coincide with), but since I defined the rest in a somewhat clean way, the part just regenerated itself correctly after noticing the mistake and choosing the correct anchor point.

I've just dodged a pretty well-designed phishing attempt.

Phone rings. "Hello sir, this is [can't understand the name of the company, and the person had an awful accent] . You appear to not have been using the technical assistance service for your electricity, and with price changes you are eligible to a refund of 150-something €."

I ask what provider I'm at, they dodge the question "we're for all of France"; they know my name and my address and ask for my birth date and my email address. Then they ask me to send them my IBAN, and to prove that they're legit, they'll be the ones providing the first and last two digits of the IBAN.

Thankfully, I know how IBANs work and that these digits are trivial to derive from the rest (and of course, I had to go first). I said "no", they hung up.

IBANs should be information that can be freely given, but thanks to some nonsensical archaic processes in France, it's really not something one should hand out to just anyone. And it's sometimes used as a data point they can give out to prove their legitimacy on a later, unrelated, second phishing call.

Sigh.

Kay. I'm done following Pixelfed's account. Some people have an ego larger than their country (and Canada happens to be pretty large).

Things need to be set right. This shape came with the box.

And yes I have checked, all shapes indeed can go through the square hole.

🎵 And I say I hate you when I don't

Push you when you get too close

It's hard to laugh when I'm the joke

But I can't do this on my 🎵

This song is so, so good.

I just replaced the lamp on my video projector. A quick, easy and cheaper than the alternative solution to the washed out images it used to display.

I don't think the lamp reached the advertised 4500 hours though.

Finally, got prompted by Google's calendar for the dark theme. I've had to use Dark Reader for years just to spare my eyes on this thing.

That wasn't so hard now, was it, Google?

Honestly they were so clever to pick Emily. She sounds so much NOT like Chester that there's no point in trying, but it still sounds like LP.
