Thoosies will say it's ridiculous I'm sure but based on personal experience, it's too aggressive of a ride. www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/10/06/…

I've been spending a lot more time on Open Coaster trying to get it in a state where I can open up registrations. It has Mastodon sign in and I'm going to be using that to offer up some swag bags first to opencoaster.net folks then to anyone else with what I have left. Can't believe it's this […]

I'm getting so tired of the everything is AI witch hunt. Everyone said _all_ of the merch at Knotts was AI. I was looking at it last night and while there was a couple questionable designs, most of it seemed outside the scope of what AI could do with proper screen prints. Also on that note it's […]

Ugh, the new Firefox app chrome is ugly. Looks like every other uninspired vibe coded design.

What a disgrace California can launch a vibe coded app from a firm not even located in California. Also looks like it forces you to make an account. Watchduty is free and doesn’t require an account. Watchduty is also a California not for profit. Use Watchduty, not this trash aware app […]

There’s just simply no way a ride could reopen after that many lawsuits filed. It would be just too easy of a target anytime anyone got off feeling dizzy. Clearly there was an issue with it, especially in the last few years so I think this is the right call as much as it sucks […]

Calling it now, we’ll see iPhone duo posts complaining about this problem. They’re using Samsung screens, they all end up developing issues at the fold.

Good on you Six Flags, it's pretty ridiculous that everyone is just calling everything AI now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB-xtRYdI9E

Happy to report that @kagihq has greatly improved their Stop Slop reports. MUUUUCH higher success rate. Still room for improvement as some very obvious ones are still marked as not or inconclusive.

Whatever @1password did has made their Chrome extension basically unusable. Clicking it takes about a minute for it to even show the dropdown. So glad they've gone all in on AI... really paying off

Troy @troy.opencoaster.net · 22/09/2026

In case anyone needs it. Insane it's not just a simple toggle. The one that kills me is the "learn from this app" having to be toggled for every single goddamn app. Why do AI people have such a problem with consent? discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2500…

Being forced to select a carrier if you want to finance an iPhone is stupid and sucky for people that use US Mobile and the like. Makes the decision even easier to stick with my 14.

Come back from vacation thinking we were spared from the bp spam but alas, still hundreds of them. Kinda funny seeing the mailgun lots showing the gmail accounts they used failing to accept emails due to running out of space.

Finally managed to secure a reservation (well one that wasn't insanely priced) for the DCL WBTA on the Wish. Looks like this is a VERY popular itinerary. I mean, it has an overnight stop in Iceland. Just insane that it fully booked up before Gold/Silver could even get in there.

Youtube needs an option to give feedback to creators when you unsubscribe. I want to be able to tell them I'm unsubscribing because they started using AI thumbnails.

Weird bug happening in Apple Music. My downloaded music, and only downloaded, plays back slightly faster. It’s maybe 10%. Just enough to be noticeable.
