New favourite interaction of all time:

They have a cute pet name for ART. ART has been gushing about Murderbot to its crew. Murderbot is socially awkward and can’t fathom that someone could actually like it and care for it. What if I scream and flail around forever

i installed a wack ass termux-optimized keyboard on my phone (unexpected keyboard, if u even care) and overall i really like it BUT it happens to have a compose key right next to the spacebar. and if you type compose-t-h, perhaps by accident if you were typing fast and didn't quite hit the spacebar properly, you get þ.

so now i keep sending texts to my friends containing the notorious Þorn Typo, because it's so charming i can never bring myself to correct it :( it's free þ!

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want

Growing potatoes is great because not only are they an incredibly easy and fairly fast-growing crop, but the sheer number of potatoes that one potato can turn into is amazing. I got a few shrivelled, wilting seed potatoes off my ommer about a year ago and now I have enouygh of them to turn them into a nice little row. The area under the orchard where I bury any supermarket potatoes that go green on me is a forest of free carbohydrates. It really feels like an Infinite Food Hack in a way that most gardening doesn't.

DEC PDPs & friends at the System Source Museum (Maryland Technology Museum)

Visited earlier this week. It was thrilling to see so many of my favorite computers in-person, and even see the LINC in operation!

Definitely recommend checking it out you're in the Baltimore area!
