Nice to see Apple "coming into the fold" so to speak. I like my flip.

You hit software-engineer-bsky. We love to see this shit :) Keep on learning! It's not for everyone, but if you have a genuine interest it's SOOOOOOOO fun and rewarding.

Please somebody tell me how this is wrong. Is this a GOTCHA instead of a CAPTCHA? "Haha sucker, those are MOPEDS, not MOTORCYCLES!"

Google ReCAPTCHA asking to select motorcycles that are visible

Selected the boxes in Google ReCAPTCHA that contain motorcycles, but are marked incorrect by Google

Cutting Google and Twitter out of my life because I keep getting flagged as a bot. Seems like every other Google search I get hit with a CAPTCHA (That I somehow keep failing), and 3 times now opening Twitter I get hit with a "Pass a challenge to prove you're not a bot"

I have learned while looking at domains that "blackfriday" domains go for $130 a year. So I applaud rebecca.blackfriday with sticking with the bit for so many years.

I wanna know who Google Fiber is contracting to run their lines. Looked out the window a bit ago to see how the construction was going, and dude was taking a cough break because he's cutting a hole in the sidewalk with a concrete saw and no PPE. Just breathing all of that concrete in.

Today in adventures of atypical last name, I ordered something online. Package was addressed to "Greg Greg" Not the first time this has happened

Anyone else think it's kinda racist to have a Flock camera pointed at the entrance of the hardware rental store?

Was reminded that Sony said that they'd stop porting PlayStation games to PC, which means no God of War: Laufey. Fuuuuuuuck.

Something I was randomly thinking about today, The other day I went to the movie theatre in town. They no longer accept cash. That's gotta really contribute to the death of "Third spaces" for teenagers right? Lock out anyone who doesn't have a debit card.

Loving my friends is following games on Steam just so I can later gift them / play it with them.

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 13/04/2026

Adding those to my mental list of clever domains. Currently off the top of my head are rebecca.blackfriday and bongo.cat - Not particularly useful. but clever.

Also lowkey love seeing a character constantly being gaslit by several people "She's gonna think it's your fault" "Avoid her" "She's going to sue you." and that character going "No fuck you she's my friend and she needs somebody to be there with her through this."

000

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 27/03/2026

Decided to give "All Her Fault" a watch and it was so good. Phenominal actors and phenominal acting. (Fuck that one character for being such a psychopath)

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 23/03/2026

Sounds like an attack vector. Non-cloud-saves in your game directory? Let me just delete that while uninstalling since you left Steam logged in at the library.

Kissing frogs to hope that they turn into a prince in year of 2026? No, no. Stare at frog.

US is in such a sorry state that I didn't see a single mention of Mar10 (mario) day, and only saw one mention of 3.14 (pi) day. Who has the time to have fun.

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 01/03/2026

Damn, what a shame that that's permanent now. Guess you just have to live with it 🤷‍♂️

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 13/02/2026

Impressive. Using a lib for ATProtocol or just some homemade methods? I think I'm gonna write a small inhouse library in C#

001

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 12/02/2026

Useful for somebody surely. I just need to implement something myself for my toolkit 😂 Finally have the time for the first time in awhile. What'd you use? (Java|Type)Script?

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 12/02/2026

Very spiffy looking. I need to implement something like this soon...

Wonder Man was a solid Marvel show. Definitely recommend giving it a watch.

When I thought "Hey I should upgrade and buy a taller bookcase with another shelf"- Terrible idea. Man books are heavy, switching one out for another sucks.

Jealous of the places that are apparently starting the new year expecting 3-4ft of snow. Another decently warm day today with a whole lot of zero snow all December.

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 29/12/2025

I think the only thing I'm doing for 2026 that's "goal" related is more nature walks with friends. Looking back on 2025 I really enjoyed just walking through parks with good company and chatting about life.

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 15/12/2025

I'm still debating on whether to buy an Atlas Headrest for mine. On the plus side by the time I'm tired enough to not be holding my head up any more- I get away from the computer. But when I want to lean back and watch a Youtube video it really tempts me.

There's a guy with a Harley that always passes by, and I swear he owes my dog money. He must live near by, on nice days the same looking one will pass by at least twice. Every time, she'll freak out and start barking up a storm. "WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF" means "Give me my money back", right?

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 23/11/2025

Bought a christmas gift yesterday and returned it two hours later, because I got home and had a $70 coupon for the exact item in the mail- that becomes valid in December. Big stores are silly.

Using a Firefly naming scheme? Solid. Shiny even.

I've been tempted to order more books, but my two bookshelves are very full. Eventually I'll build a bigger one.

Tempted to hook my Steam Link back up to my TV and play through God of War.... hm....

Can't wait for the "Every company has an AI" bubble to pop. I hate that I own a $1300 phone with two useless physical buttons: Google Assistant that took over the power button Moto AI that has a dedicated "AI button" Disabled both AI and now two buttons just do absolutely nothing

My biggest UX pet peeve is the death of actual link elements. Stop making clickable div elements. I want to middle click or right click > open in new tab

Greg Stefanowich @g.stefanowi.ch · 31/10/2025

One of the fun things about a folding phone is that it's smaller (and square) size makes taking it out feel like checking a pocket watch- despite the fact that I also wear a wrist watch.

I miss 24 hour stores. Such a super US thing, but 3am grocery shopping was such a mood

Isn't dealing with time fun? In case you also don't know, Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings. They just don't do it.

I continue to question partial ISP outages. Can connect to half of the internet. DNS is fine, just can't load like 50% of sites. Connect to VPN: All issues resolved. I can connect to a VPN, but not Twitch, Google, DDG, or Youtube? Makes me scratch my head

Kinda funny after 10 years of doing Extra-life, exactly $999 raised. doitforthe.kids/greg

What have you been doing.. lathering it on like sunscreen..? 🤨 I keep telling you; thermal paste isn't gonna cool you down, no matter how hot you are!

Only two weeks until the yearly Extra-life LAN. Definitely can't wait to see some long distance friends in person again.

Unlike a lot of people, I usually always close out my browsers tabs and always have my PC off at night. Start each day with a fresh session. My phone on the other hand... I've had the RFC 9309 spec open for close to a year.

Pretty good timing replacing my UPS's dead battery last week, since my power managed to blip twice last night
