Found out my sister never saw The Big Lebowski. "This aggression will not stand, man.”

After over 1,600 miles (2,575 km) on my ebike, my break pads have been ground down.

I don't feel safe riding it, I keep thinking I'm going to damage my break disc. Fortunately I got new pads coming in the mail tomorrow, so I should be back up and running tomorrow night.

I'm a WNBA player. Don't use athletes like me to exclude trans women. IOC's policy invites unequal scrutiny. We cannot choose our genes or chromosomes, but we can choose whether we protect the dignity of every athlete.

WNBA star Brianna Turner has written an article denouncing the new invasive sex testing requirements of the IOC.

2013 Screenshot of a much older version of Kdenlive. You see the movie I was editing with 3 men holding guns in the preview.

Screenshot of my desktop. Kdenlive video editor shows a completed timeline. In the clip editor window there's an image of a middle aged white man (me). On the timeline window you can see an open laptop sitting on a desk.

I've been using #Kdenlive to edit video for a very long time. 2013 vs 2026.

potatoes are amazing!

Let's be real, the design of software when made by corporations is kinda bland and watered down. We need to start embracing the weird. Weird is anti-commercial. Weird is for people. I like weird.

Let's see... A driver does all the work for me so I can sit and relax, it usually has EXCELLENT air conditioning, WIFI, and phone charging ports.

And it only cost $2 a ride. I'm struggling to see the problem with riding the bus.

Silly thought.

If the age verification is required to write software, and software is written text, doesn't that make software free speech?

Doesn't that make the verification cost a tax on this free speech?

Is that not against the 1st amendment?

I don't know if this is how any of that works.

2026 is the year I start prioritizing:

+ Free and open software
+ Self hosted software
+ Federated community software

Microsoft: You can only use newer hardware on Windows 11

Linux Users: Go off, King

AI Companies: All new RAM will be more expensive!

Linux Users: **buys used hardware** Have fun with that

I rode my bike today.

Yes!

Cheap Android tablets + microsd card + FTP server software.

Congratulations, you now have a Wi-Fi NAS with a built in battery.

Add Tailscale to it, now you have a remote NAS.

Is it reliable? No. Does it work? Yes.

The goal is to get to #Ciclavia today. It's 6 in the morning and I gotta add some puncture resistant goo to my tires. Let's see if I'm successful.

A common misconception is that you play Zelda in the game. Not true! You're not Zelda. You're Dr. Zelda Frankenstein's MONSTER.

Cars fucking stink.

Had planned a camping trip months ago for this weekend. Ended up raining so we're taking a staycation.

Went to the movies in the middle of a Friday and had almost the entire theater to ourselves.

Today we're heading to the thrift store.

So far 10/10 weekend.

I know there are a lot of bad people out there determined to make the world suck. Sometimes it feels like they're winning but fuck those guys.

I want you to remember that you are loved, important, and the earth is better with you on it.

I only do lunch delivery on days that it rains. I've lived in Riverside for almost two years, today is the first time I've delivered food here. Last login was 2023.

If you can read this, you're awesome.

It's October 3rd.

I'm starting to think these for-profit companies only care about making money.

Good news: I cleaned bicycle disc brakes for the first time ever. All the rust removed and they almost look new!

Bad news: The brakes still squeak hella bad.

Might still take it to a professional. Not sure what else could cause that...

The more I read about the FBI investigation into Kirk's assassination, the more I think letting podcasters run the FBI might be a bad idea.

:tinfoil hat: Unless they don't want to find the guy...

I've put off using #Nix package manager under #Debian for far too long. I heard they work well together, but this is seamless. Neato.

I've seen a few people talk about their filament getting too humid and not printing correctly. Today, I had filament so dry it cracked mid print. Had no idea that was an issue. #3Dprinting

Water is awesome

I would use Bsky more often but I'm not sure if I can trust the people who run that platform. I used to do Twitter and Instagram and both platforms devolved into Nazi havens.

The only closed platforms I use anymore is YouTube. Even that relationship looks rocky.
