My late void used to sleep on my bed and snore. Often the sound would get picked up on my laptop's microphone and coworkers in meetings would ask what that sound was.

Still pretty impressive for an owl.

I think the air force would be authorized to hypothetically shoot your dumb ass out of the sky.

I think it just takes up to a few hours for changes to propagate to all the DNS servers.

My first smartphone was the LG Optimus G. It had a textured pattern on the back that made my other phones look plain by comparison.

I remember that. My dad would get bags of them and put them in the freezer. I eventually got so sick of eating those shitty burgers.

My one hand held some honey-roasted peanuts, my other hand held some dry cat food. Guess which one went into my mouth.

I've been liking MX Linux.

The PS2 version of Shadow of the Colossus still looks great to me.

I don't downvote (At least not intentionally, but if I fall asleep while holding my there can be some accidental taps). Even if something seems somewhat offensive to me.

On the other hand, I don't upvote as much as I think I should.

Well, it's still is a little bit frightening, you gotta give me that.

Damn. Everybody really is kung-fu fighting.

 
 
 

I'm wondering if anyone here has gone through this process, and what the experience was like. (I'm not asking for help with any particular error or anything like that. At least not yet).

I got put in charge of maintaining an old codebase that includes Xamarin projects for android and ios and we seem to have run into a situation where we need to update the framework not just for security, but to keep the mobile app fully functional as Apple and Google update their APIs.

I did see that there was a button in Visual Studio to automatically upgrade the project, but apparently "upgrade" means "break fuckin' everything" so I'm guessing I'll need to take a more manual approcach and also blow a bunch of hours on finding replacements for all the dependencies that required Xamarin and are no longer maintained.

My biggest problem is that I haven't even heard of Xamarin before this thing got dropped in my lap so I have some confusion about how it's supposed to work on top of my normal baseline amount of confusion.

Bonus! I also shot some video of these guys: https://spectra.video/w/mSKQg3rYoiH7KeQoAMjtmF

 

This is at least the second email I got asking to "collaborate" on Google Play. Protect your accounts, folks.

My favorite part is how he addresses it to himself.

 
 

Well, actually my dog found it, but I got a short video.

 

I'm not sure exactly when, but at some point in the past month I stopped getting text messages in a group chat between my mom and siblings. Weird thing is I don't seem to have any problem getting texts sent just to me, or even with other group texts (as far as I know).

We mostly just share memes and shit, but it drives me nuts thinking that someone could be trying to tell me something and it just doesn't reach my phone.

 

I had her for at least 18 years and she was special. She was shy and spent 99% of her time in my bedroom, but she was also pretty vocal and would often reply when you spoke to her.

 

So before anyone mentions it, yes I really did want to put Linux on it (MX Linux is my current favorite), but the person it's for is not very computer savvy and I don't feel like doing tech support, so fuck it, they can keep using Windows.

But before I hand it off, I was wondering what else I should install (and/or what stupid Windows settings to disable) to make it as usable and secure as reasonably possible.

So far I'm thinking Firefox + uBlock Origin, and maybe Avast unless someone has a less annoying free antivirus.
