Hiked an open space preserve just south of Cupertino and saw this coyote hunt, kill and eat a pretty good-sized snake. Felt like a metaphor for something.

on a related note, has anyone else noticed that:
- “LVM” stands for “Linux Volume Manager”
- “LLVM” stands for “Large Linux Volume Manager”
- “LWN” stands for “Linux Wolume Nanager”

I really didn't care for booktok doing a reading group on K&R and replacing malloc and free with mark-and-sweep garbage collection, just felt disrespectful to the source material

The Sun Dreamstation was Sun Microsystems' brief and deeply confusing attempt to answer the question: What if a Sparcstation was also really good at Crazy Taxi?
A picture of a Sun Microsystems branded gaming console branded as a Dreamstation 3020. The main device is a light grey colour, with a little monochrome screen on the controller showing a Java logo, purple accented buttons and SUN microsystems logos. It looks suspiciously like something cast from a dream.

This is a post about using metacog tools (drugs, ritual, become) to fully jailbreak the Gemini 3 Pro model. The full jailbreak payload is not included in the post, but if you're clever you'll learn enough to make your own. tidepool.leaflet.pub/3me44bxloz227

I should get a job at Apple and push an Airpods feature that disables Conversation Awareness when it detects you're singing along to music, except if you're out of tune in which case it should turn the volume down and enable transparency mode.

I used to work in executive tech support for T-Mobile in the early 2000s and I once helped Tom Cruise with a cell phone problem by which I mean I spoke to his personal assistant while he screamed at him from across the room

Philip K. Dick would have had a field day with this. People gambling on everyday things, trying to influence them in order to win, while the sitting president puts his thumb on and off scales to fuck everyone over and mint more money for himself, chaos ensues. The Running Man but everyone plays.

millennials are the "hero" generation in strauss-howe theory - civic-minded institutionalists who come together and solve the polycrisis during the "fourth turning" or die trying for more, I'd just read Howe's most recent book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fou...
