Damn. There used to be this shred remix of Stairway to Heaven, and nobody bothered to preserve it, and it got DMCA'd off YouTube years ago. And there's zero reference to it on Google. It basically ripped off the stems to the original wholesale and just had remixed/resung lyrics.

"And she's buying a cafe in Devon"
etc.

I don't live in #eu #europe region, so I can't sign this, but I can spread it, and so can anyone. There's not much time left, sign this to end the spread of evil known as "conversion therapy" - https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home #banconversiontherapy

I swear, there must be something weird with my brain. I always used to think the lyrics to Stayin' Alive went:

"Oh, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman now, no time to talk."

And for some reason, this made extra sense because of the falsetto.

Cool! Microsoft Excel now has Copilot sentiment analysis! Just what I needed my Spreadsheet app to do, analyze the mood of the verbose, long form text. That I am typing into my budget sheet.

Nobody will stop using Windows 10 just because it's going EoL. Patching is already a hostile action anyway, they'll view the lack of patches as a godsend. Uptimes will be yuuuuge.

Thanks, Sharter Spectrum, for throttling my upstream to 5Mbps! #spectrum #spectrumsucks

Disregard that. There are too many people we know here, and it's not the most expensive thing we do running this server.

Hear me out: #soysauce but with the consistency of #barbecuesauce

#suckurity #security gee, my attempt to foil a "security" questions system with randomly generated secret answers, foiled by a site that asks the questions as multiple choice and fills the "wrong" answers with a dictionary of likely answers to the pre-chosen questions

How weird is it that I am likely to pronounce ubiquitous as oo-bee-KWEE-shus

I think I witnessed a tragedy of some sort tonight with an Uber Eats driver. They picked up my order, then proceeded to book it to the nearest hospital, then booked it to some apartments that were out of the way of both the hospital and my home. Hope they and theirs are okay.

Whee, more fuel for the fire: It’s a bad idea to leave MFi / Lightning cables plugged into a charger indefinitely. Apparently, the little chip in the interface needs to be power cycled periodically, or else it will just decide to stop charging devices for no good reason. I have had this happen repeatedly in the last few months. You’d think I’d learn and stop leaving my charger cable plugged in all the time? But no.

Anybody else got so much crap crammed in their refrigerator that it takes more than 5 minutes to find anything buried inside, and the door ajar alarm goes off every time?

Ah, I see, that's what dissociation is. Yeah, I find myself dissociating frequently. Could also be that because I have rather severe aphantasia, I also do not imagine visual things to go with the dissociation, and just see what I'm staring at. Do other people actually have fun doing this? Because I just find it to be an awful time sink.

I was also wrong when I said I'm too busy chatting and reading social media to read any more. I must spend way more time lost in thought and staring into space, than I do actually ranting on social media. There is probably a place in the Dune universe for people with no useful skills who just space out with overwhelming thoughts all the time, and have infinite problems with expressing any of the ideas they dream up, right?

Hmm. Hot take: There was nothing worth salvaging from Cohost. Least of all the prevailing attitude that we should be living out the fricking Dune timeline.
