It has come to my attention LLMs love to pull levers. I don't use LLMs a lot but this is probably the 4th time in a few days one has said this. Not even the same LLM twice. (Claude, GLM, Qwen).

There was too much crap on the end table. Something had to be done. Whipped this up in CAD, printed, and a couple self tapping screws later the end table is now quite tidy. CAD and 3d printing really is a super power. printhappens.co for some of my other designs and prints. #3dprinting

Printed with only 4 colors of filament CMYK. The layer colors become more pronounced as the curve angle increases near the top of the bubbles. This is opaque filament. The blending would be better with translucent filament. Still pretty incredible. #3dprinting

If you're in the US this still exists. You just have to have the right antenna. They sell them at walmart. Not only that but way more channels. My local area has 55! They're mostly terrible or aren't recieved well but they technically exist.

Not that I think anyone doesn't believe me but they supported Linux so early on that my my current game library has always had a Linux filter and a LOT of games have native Linux support. They just really took a breather on Linux support at the worse possible time with Proton coming up.

App developers. First, thank you for adding settings to your software. There's no reason software shouldn't be flexible. But...for the love of all that his holy if you've got more than 2 settings categories and maybe 10 total settings ADD SEARCH! It's got damn 2026 we can spare the cycles. Slack 👀

I'm just going to leave this here. Thanks @ourworldindata.org

A chart showing what people actually die from most Heart Disease, Cancer, Accidents. Heart Disease and Cancer constitute more than 50%. Homicide and Terrorism are the tiniest slivers at the very bottom of the chart. Then 3 charts showing New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News and what they report most. Homicide and Terrorism are by far the biggest parts constituting more than 50% in all three cases.

Hey tech youtubers, love what you do and all the knowledge you share. Thanks for that. Just a tip or feedback. If you're doing CLI stuff please make sure the line you're typing on is about 1/3 up from the bottom of the frame. Youtube puts stuff down there. What you're typing can't be seen. TY!

Also of note. It doesn't cost that much to defend a country so, let's be extra mad at this absolute waste of cash.

You know what really goats my git? Systems that don't let you look at your API key after you've created it. Like, I get the theory. If someone breaks in to the web page system then they can't hijack your key. Except...the hidden key sits right next to the "make a new one" button! MFers WAT!?

The @bsky.app tablet experience is kind of rough. There's a menu up there at the top left that could be kicked out. Would be nice to author posts while being able to reference other posts in a 2 column view. So much opportunity to put that extra space to use. Thank you for reading my TED talk.

Really digging Niagara Launcher on #Android. Has excellent systems for focusing down on stuff that matters but still making most everything else quickly accessible. Definitely helps breaking the attention suck your phone tends to be.

Maybe something @jeffgeerling.com knows. Why this? Secrets get leaked fairly frequently. It seems like docker's structure of daemon has root and secrets live with the root user is the ideal to keep silly humans from doing dumb things. Why hasn't Ansible adopted this? Daemon that inconvenient?

This Amazon Prime Video season selector is madness. Default to the bottom option, show 3 maximum (4k pixels to work with), no indicator there are even other options, and scroll up? Wheel reinvented I guess. 🙄

The Cooler Master NR200P V2 amzn.to/4rktZUb is a fantastic ITX case to build in if you have an AIO (that fits). The sandwich style setup gets the GPU free air from the side and out the back and excellent bottom to top airflow for the power supply and CPU radiator. #PC #DIY #CoolerMaster

What even is this "Battlefield 6 Theme" music? It doesn't even actually contain the Battlefield theme. There's a hand full of notes somewhere in the last third that almost go there but don't quite. So glad I didn't pay EA money this time. #NotMyBattlefieldTheme #BadAtHashTags

I have a 3D print with screw holes. It was printed with supports and some of those supports didn't come out of the screw holes. I've tried grabbing with the tips of snips and tweezers but they won't come out. Anyone have any suggestions? Try to drill them out? Just jam some screws in there?

Has anyone re-created, or cloned, Fat Princess? I seem to recall a free to play thing that was similar, but that wasn't recent. I'm after something with that new game smell but bring back that OG manic multiplayer fun. "They're in our base killing our dudes!" #VideoGames #PS3 #FatPrincess

Just got a PDP Victrix Pro BFG for Xbox. I'll grant I'm only a few hours into using it but this thing feels sooo good. Kind of a shame it doesn't come standard with hall effect sticks, but since it's modular you can buy the hall effect sticks for an additional $40. #xbox #PDP #videogames
