Opening up something that looks like Photoshop on Linux is a neat hat trick, but yeah, these apps are just shells. Issues on Github are like "Doesn't play sound" and "delete doesn't work" for the Pro Tools clone lol. Curious if they'll actually improve.

#Tucson If you haven't already read TA's newsletter today, I recommend it. Yet another data center is trying to be built in Tucson. This one is a bit trickier to stop.

Since we're talking about Plex my weird flex is that I've collected over 900 episodes of This Old House, kind of a home improvement Library of Alexandria
Screenshot of Plex showing a TV show card for This Old House. The card shows the amount of episodes on a Plex server (935).

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Wanted to revisit Dragon Age The Veilguard again (weird seasonal association with Fall) but now getting a nasty DirectX crash due to the strand hair system. And if I can't have perfectly simulated Fabio-esque flowing locks on my Qunari, what's the point?

Spruced up the desk. Cat prints, games, D&D, speakers - a few of my favorite things. Pouring one out for old speakers from '03, amp fried in the last monsoon when we lost our neutral wire. Hoping these Klipsch's last another 20 years (unlikely.. but they look & sound good).

Was just supposed to swap a fan out, but the glass side panel on this 3 y/o Corsair case had other plans. Plans that involved shattering into 1000 shards. I will be staying away from glass panels in the future… or anything by @corsair.com for that matter. Could’ve been bad, but I wasn’t hurt.

New Outlook's autocorrect is completely borked on MacOS. If I delete my entire draft, the grammar/spelling squiggles remain visible in the empty window (same if the text is changed at all - Outlook never updates). At least the squiggles look like late 90's/early 00's contemporary art.

Things like seemingly harmless NYT consumption are big deals to trans people because transphobia, despite being intense and escalating these days, is an oppression often rendered invisible. Trans people are used to being abandoned by cis people, so even small abandonments have an impact.

No info released on the person who shot and injured nine people in downtown Tucson early this morning but, of course, people are already using this as an opportunity to blame whoever they’re most biased against — in this case, the Empire Pizza folks getting on their ‘vaporize the unhoused’ soapbox.

The difference between University
Boulevard and Congress Street is about half a mile. The gun laws are the same.
The difference is the vagrancy, lack of police presence, panhandling, public urination, defecation, open air drug use, graffiti, etc. As mayor, there's not much you can do about federal and state gun law, but you can make a world of difference with the rest.
