Last Notes npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza I'm glad I don't work in web hosting anymore. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza You're stupid if you pay this much for parking in #Tulsa. It's after 5PM, find any legal place to park and it's free. And there's lots of it if you're willing to walk 3+ blocks. https://cdn.masto.host/socialtulsaokus/media_attachments/files/117/407/523/253/686/477/original/6b8deefbe185a67f.png npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza I'd like to solve the puzzle... https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/what-killed-bear-lady/ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza OK, so send some #Alphabet executives to prison for computer trespass and wire fraud. #KevinMitnick went down for 8 years over far less than this shit. https://arstechnica.com/google/2026/09/google-confirms-gemini-models-hacked-three-companies-in-may-2026/ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Holy shit, #ICE actually caught a British terrorist somehow. https://abcnews.com/US/milo-yiannopoulos-british-commentator-detained-ice/story?id=136038107 #USPol #UKPol npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza I mean, if you're using gen-AI instead of an artist, I don't care if you are a local business, you wasted your effort and alienated me by doing that. https://tulsaflyer.org/2026/08/19/business/post/designers-push-back-ai-advertising/ #Tulsa #Oklahoma #AI npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza It's been a week since I complained about this last, but once again, it applies: I hate how the lowest high temperature on the 7 day forecast is 39°c... #OKWX #Tulsa npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Today I learned disposable charcoal barbecues exist and I just have to wonder how fucking lazy some of y'all are where "thing whose entire thing is being on fire" and "thing whose entire thing is you throw it in the trash" was in anyway a smart combination. I don't know why but this strikes me as very English. Like "put a St George's Cross flag illegally on a lamppost" levels of English dumb. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…awd8 Not in the bluesky not-fediverse. But the actual fediverse has WriteFreely, plume, Wordpress, and quite a few others. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Unreasonably horny today and can't do anything about it npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Why was the internet in the 90s cool? Because we built it ourselves. What's still cool in 2026? The parts of the internet we built ourselves. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza I just had the idea for honey teriyaki bacon and I don't know why I didn't think of this before. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Just deleted my #Mapillary account including uploads because #Panoramax is Good Enough and shows promise for rapid improvement and I've already migrated my data more or less as a test of my new fiber connection. And I'm glad to be done with #Meta. @nprofile…aht2 npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Fdroid and fedilab beefing? npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…asgg Crash, not accident. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza I hate Aeron chairs. They're not very comfy and it's basically impossible to stealth fart... npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza This has me wondering if Japanese business and society is looking at what's going on in America and realizing a culture of xenophobia isn't a great look. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/06/22/japan/society/japan-workplace-diversity-equity-inclusion/ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Hmm, discovered self hosting is allowed on my new ISP. Guess it's time to start spinning services back up and moving stuff home after 15 years having to rent someone else's computer... npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza OK, ICE cars with manual transmissions are fun and all but... Why in the world would you want to make an electric direct drive mimick something _barely_ less jank than Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the real world? https://www.carscoops.com/2026/06/toyota-ev-manual-patent/ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza One good outcome from the #AI fad is that it's highlighting to folks who aren't techbros that it's a really bad idea to let spicy cruise control drive without having your hands on the wheel ready to take over immediately the moment you feel the car doing something undesirable. Because the two technologies are uncomfortably close together with similar limitations, but one has access to a deadly weapon. #AutonomousCars npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza How about "not wash your fucking car in the first place?" Or take it to a commercial operator, since they generally have to treat and recycle their own car was water anyway if only to not go broke on the water bill. https://www.abc4.com/news/be-water-wise/best-way-to-wash-car-drought/ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza #Bluesky folks need to read this. https://giants-club.net/articles/just-use-mastodon/ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…p89h "Fork Wikipedia" needs to be on the table. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza The year of the Linux desktop is irrelevant. You already have more Linux devices in your home and in your life than Windows devices. Windows is a niche OS for niche, mostly corporate, tasks at this point. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…kgg0 So what you're saying is we all need to start drunkposting as much as possible npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…2wsh I had no idea there's even a north visitor center, and now I'm not sure if it's something that's been there all along or if it was built after I moved away. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…2wsh Dang, where'd they install an escalator? npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…xjey You're a bit behind on that, Chrome launched with no address or search bar, but instead an omnibox which kinda sorta isn't either of those things despite having the partial functionality of both. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…8m52 Have we tried that, then? @nprofile…8my8 npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…l7em This is how TxDOT does things, but most states do something even more cursed: Decimal feet. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…um83 Basically I'm saying when education is subject to capitalism, then whoever can just pay their way through school is going to not raise eyebrows so long as they're not socially outrageous or flamboyantly flouting the rules. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…um83 Sorry but I'm not buying into that hyperbolic byline. Universities don't need to adapt to AI, they need to weed out the dipshits. Difficulty: Paid tuition means they're disinclined to bite the hands that feed them. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza That said, now get to secure erase a stack of drives that hopefully survive the war long enough I don't have to go buy a bulk erase magnet... npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Just tested a stack of about a dozen drives, all about 10-12 years old, all with about the same number of hours (about 5-6 years) and the only ones that were not going south in some way were the 3 WD Caviar drives. And the bad pile has no WD drives npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Always found it amusing that people trash on WD Caviar drives so much even though I used to find them in the bike lanes around Portland from electronics recyclers losing them (and other computer components, my late 90s computers were mostly reassembled trash) and they'd work fine despite spending time in a muddy, wet bike lane for who knows how long. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…f86m It's better zoomed out so you can see the 20 foot wide robot arms he's controlling. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…2sy0 If you're not building your BRT like it's light rail that just happens to use buses instead, you're doing it wrong. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Every time I see someone complaining that you should have to show ID to somehow access ___ because "you need to show ID to buy food", I wonder if they know they're outing themselves as drinking so much they buy booze every time they go grocery shopping, and live someplace where it's a one-stop experience. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza "Online masculinity influencers" is just a long way of saying "AM radio crank" npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Not enough pixels for America's sexiest bear. Honestly, not enough media features Smokey's tailside. Which is up there with @nprofile…f7ck's Patrick on "I'd tap that". But also, this is exactly the reason why almost all Smokey billboards iRL are situated so Smokey is back-to-back with himself. https://cdn.masto.host/socialtulsaokus/media_attachments/files/116/422/062/178/001/396/original/0669cca5b4f86567.jpg npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…d7dn 😳 Man, if my master sees that I'm in danger! @nprofile…3e7v npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Knowing America, this driver will be home for a late dinner after turning on the tears and claiming they didn't see the parade, which jumped out into traffic at the last moment. You know, just another unavoidable accident. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/multiple-people-injured-car-strikes-pedestrians-lao-new-year-parade-rcna266748 #Louisana #FuckCars npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…2zx7 That wasn't my experience with them. It seemed they just got more power hungry with time, with the late ones with kinda reasonable antiskip struggling to make it through a single album on a set of batteries. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Just heard a weird take. "Portable CD players were cool." Yeah, if you discount they scratched your CDs, skipped if you breathed on 'em wrong and sucked down a pair of AA batteries in 3 hours. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…syld I, too, also have 40 year old laundry baskets kicking around for some reason. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza It's weird that FOX is still advertising as "FOX 23" here even though they're not on channel 23 anymore, they're on channel 8.2... #Television #Tulsa #FalseAdvertising #SinclairBroadcasting npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Things that need to be year one priorities for the next administration: 1. Universal healthcare 2. Universal basic income 3. Universal prosecution of all Epstein files pedophiles regardless of party with lifetime in prison as a minimum; and prosection of all Republican officials on treason charges, with the death penalty as a minimum sentence. Anything else isn't going to move the needle. #USPol npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Not that I think anybody under 35 has actually written out either of these things in their life. Pretty sure 40 would be the cutoff for "formerly used checks everywhere because it was the same speed as a card without the card fees" npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Oh man, I just noticed on #ThePriceIsRight that the Check Game no longer actually uses a giant novelty check, they just have like, a withdraw slip now instead. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Hopped onto The Disney Wiki and then noticed they link to affiliate wikis. Under the "General Non-Disney" category, they have incorrectly included Muppets, Lucasfilm, Indiana Jones, 20th Century Studios, Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Futurama, Bob's Burgers, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, and NYPD Blue, which are all ALSO Disney. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza I feel nothing. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…f4r9 Also a mystery to me. I'm guessing "a black neighborhood" just given the way Portland bulldozes those about once every 30 years for some reason. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…f4r9 This just hit me: I don't remember what was there before the Rose Garden Arena. I know about Memorial Collesium (and high key think it's still the better of the two adjacent hockey/basketball arenas), but what was across the street from the Collesium before? npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Watching #Portland scramble because of some rumor The Oregonian ran with about the #Blazers leaving just has me scratching my head. Like, if it's *that* important to the local economy, it's time to eminent domain the team into public ownership. If not, then what's wrong with the arena and why can't their billionaire owner afford to fix it? Oregon should be pushing hard to externalize the cost of private desires of billionaires back on them, not just rolling over for them. #NBA #Politics npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…s80c Wow, you really have to dig deep to get to where that website says *who* the heck even runs it... That's easily gotta be the worst-named property in the Ziff-Davis portfolio right now. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…prte I 100% would go door to door updating OpenStreetMap fulltime if I could afford to, socioeconomically. This obsession spawned out of maps not updating fast enough in Portland 20 years ago to reliably run a courier service and kinda getting screwed by that, ultimately leading me to learn about and start contributing to OpenStreetMap just to have accurate navigation in a city that was changing the street grid daily. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…2sy0 Multicustody collars npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…4nnf One thing to ask: Is your current wiring good enough? A 110 outlet with a dongle should be able to charge almost all EVs overnight. Fast chargers might be convenient but reduce the lifespan of your EV's battery. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza This morning's #Bluesky outage went a long way to show that @nprofile…9wg6 is deeply interested in centralizing moderation, decentralizing its hosting costs... npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…wtjt mid-four-figure range. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…2jaa On the one hand, same.

As an aside, if your mail program doesn't have "reply to mailing list", it's not decent, that's been a basic feature for over 20 years now. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza #QuickBooks (and the rest of #Intuit for that matter) can eat my ass. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Well, that's good news to start the week with https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-50eb4ad421911696e742d8c4fb4962fd #LGBTQ npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…8m9u I would have phrased it "by running ads for ICE, Spotify is supporting and profiting from antiamerican terrorism." npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…sqrl Oh is that what that was?

Heh, meanwhile if I lived in Portland it'd be closer to $4000/year because pickups tend to get nicked a lot there, and because large light trucks like full size SUVs and pickups tend to be the wrong scale for the streetscape and hit other vehicles more than other vehicles. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…r5de Insurance is weirdly cheap here. I think we're paying $1400/year, but our "technically it's not totalled, but it is on a state assigned serial number and has a police record" pickup is insured for two middle aged married men to drive it noncommercially and it's basically fucking invisible to insurance and, as evidenced by the fact the tax man recovered it when it was stolen, the police. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza And it's cheaper here than damn near anywhere else in America because paid parking isn't really A Thing in #oklahoma. https://www.kjrh.com/money/consumer/consumer-reports/hidden-car-ownership-costs-hit-oklahoma-drivers-with-7-300-annual-bill #Transportation #Urbanism npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Anybody know the headlight flash diagnostic codes for #Jetson bicycles?

Traffic's brutal on that bitch because it carries two provincial highways (one of which is an alternate loop to the Transcanada Highway) in just 3 lanes, and there's a major highway junction near both ends. So both ends have, in normal operation, like 6 lanes trying to drop down to either 2 lanes or 1 lane depending on which way the center lane is signaled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Gate_Bridge npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza This episode is so bad because the whole episode is "ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW TWO STRAIGHT GUYS ARE SO INTO EACH OTHER THEY ACT LIKE THEY'RE DATING?

I get that #DrewCareyShow was often shooting for cringe comedy by that era's standard but rewatching the first season for the first time in decades it's falling into the territory of "Someone greenlit this, the network went all in on it, and nobody got fired somehow" and "This man lived on to replace Bob Barker somehow" Good 90s show to bust you out of a 90s nostalgia bubble. #Television npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza Feeling a little better after seeing Byron yesterday and pooping for the first time since Sunday this morning. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza 🫡 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/science/space/ed-smylie-dead.html #EdSmylie #NASA #Obituary npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza This day is not going how I would have hoped at all. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…q3nn That was one of their biggest songs ~25 years ago npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…rnmx That is actually A Thing already. https://cdn.masto.host/socialtulsaokus/media_attachments/files/114/524/392/372/260/750/original/2aa51b9a28ee22a3.png npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza well that was an interesting #walmart experience.

H&I doesn't do a terrible job but on particularly slow shows (DS9 is a prime example) it becomes obvious what's going on. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza One thing I don't really like about #IonTelevision at all is that the shows are not only sped up, but they tend to be in the same length or *longer* timeslot than they originally ran. Just hit "Skip Ads" in Plex on Magnum PI and had to scan the scrub bar to see if it missed some show because it legit jumped forward 12 minutes. Nope, the local Ion affiliate really stuffed 12 consecutive minutes of ads into the middle of an episode. npub12mrp20fsq2yajuxfxtvedmgrr3d3uc27s4lsvaaa722pms87el4q4hkm8g Baloo Uriza @nprofile…mcv0 From watching traffic there?
