Last Notes npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Spotify, play music to fit the mood of my inbox on this glorious Thursday npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs What npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs buying a 100 dollar bestbuy gift card on amazon for 70 dollars and then getting 3% in cashback on my card. This cashback I will use to buy more gift cards for 10-15% off. It is truly amazing how little meaning the statement "a dollar" has anymore npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs America is not the land of the free, it is the land of the fee npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…hkdp I think something like this would be ideal for sheets I think. Highly graphical spreadsheet-like UI with a SQL backend npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…hkdp but unfortunately, there is nothing quite like google docs but for markdown, and likewise nothing like google sheets for sql. It would be nice to have a platform I could access from any device, easily paste images into documents, and update formatting in a document with a dropdown instead of CSS. The ease of WYSIWG but the advantage of source based writing/data npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…hkdp A document only needs one consistent style over it, but word lets you change the font size and color of every letter if you'd like, so updating styles later globally is a pain: I frequently find documents with wild formatting, and its slower to write (moving the mouse to make a header vs just writing #). Whereas by separating source and presentation md alleviates this problem. Unfortunately, md is perhaps a bit *too* simple, my blog uses a scuffed variant: https://github.com/boehs/site/tree/master/conf/templating/markdown npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…hkdp I find that the vast majority of times spreadsheets do two things npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…hkdp this is stupid and not helpful but genuinely sql. I wish someone made a tool that was something between spreadsheets and sql. I guess airtable but that sucks as well. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Linux is state controlled spyware. The only OS you should be using in the big 2016 is Temple OS npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…9df0 did you mean to tag me? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs yay! npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…cj6n I don’t really know what you want me to say. I don’t know why that site is blocked. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…cj6n the administrators of archive.today are using the visitor’s browser to spam requests to gyrovague, who they accuse of doxxing them, while simultaneously doxxing themselves in the process npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…2xpa Thanks. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…2xpa you're in contact with the admin of archive.today? can you put me in contact with them? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs >enter capital one branch npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…wl59 airports are one of the most surveilled locations on the planet. Even if you do not consent to TSA scanning, your face will be scanned and processed by hundreds of cameras during your visit. BTW, the same thing happens when you go inside a Target or Walmart. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…ea4z actually much more devastating is the REI closure although I now live thousands of miles away so it doesn't really impact me (though I highkey miss boston) npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…ea4z four things npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…cs94 my best guess is that the captcha page just isn't something people think to inspect. it is a very brief page the user will only ever encounter on a journey, a page that they strive to move through as efficiently as possible. Furthermore it *looks* like a cloudflare captcha so users are very familiar with it (it is not a cloudflare page). npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs interestingly the code used in the DDoS has changed between today and yesterday: npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs I also just wish to stress that by visiting archive.today or related web properties your device is being used as a participent in a DDoS attack against Jani. 🧵 archive.today is not safe to use npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs But what's really interesting is the motivations. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs The HN thread discovering this covert attempt was posted by no other than " rabinovich", a user which shares the name of the POI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46624740 npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs So the mysterious person behind archive.today is very likely to be "Masha Rabinovich." A 2023 investigation from Jani Patokallio theorized this much npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs A few months ago the Slither.io Twitter account awoke to go on a generational run against Snake.io, Netflix, Elon Musk and Google. It made only one tweet between 2017 and its July 2025 awakening. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Fidelity trying to send a non-sketchy email (impossible challenge) npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…xljy only received it when I was connected to WiFi. But I wouldn’t be suprised if the only text I received in the wild is a bill. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Of course, they’ve had ample opportunity to contact me over the past 6 hours to notify me of their issues before I left, but they chose not to, leaving me to realize only once I had lost WiFi. But they did text about the bill, 3 hours into the outage. What a disaster. IMO telecommunications providers should be obligated to reimburse customers 1 day of coverage for every hour of outage. I’m sure if there was money on the line they’d care more. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Verizon just texted me to inform me that my bill is ready. I haven’t had cell service for 6 hours due to a nationwide outage. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…9jmn I’ve heard excellent advice before to buy the cheapest computer you can possibly find to run spyware on npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs It’s truly amazing how KDE, with its messily million dollar budget, is magnitudes better than its peer from a trillion dollar corporation. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Not to mention 20 minutes of inexplicable lag at the beginning, a notification asking me if I want to disable notifications, and edge miraculously becoming the default browser again. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Just booted into windows for the first time in literally only one month npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Seems to work fairly well. Not my SS but I guess this is probably Claude code? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs like this npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Windows 7 traffic on my site has dramatically increased over the past 3 months. This was widely reported in the news, and frequently attributed as a statscounter glitch. But I don't use statscounter, and my Windows 7 traffic is still increasing. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs What does it mean to maybe delete an account???? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs I don't have a soundcloud or anything but since this is blowing up please donate to earthjustice: npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs This will crash the global economy npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…wd6u it says it on the page. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…ax9v great scott! npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…a23a yup npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…zec7 i dont know what either of those words mean so we're in the same boat npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…zec7 context? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs "ActiveSync is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that enables synchronization of email, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes between a messaging server (like Microsoft Exchange) and mobile devices" npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs tfw you're trying to research a niche subject and your own writing is the first thing that comes up npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…qhhd it’s funny I’ve felt this indifference about new SUVs, but I really care for my old shitbox. That thing has personality. Once I wrote a bit about that npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…qhhd I do like my car. I love driving. I don’t like driving in cities, I want to walk and bike in the city, I don’t like parking lots, I want good public transportation to lower congestion, but I’ll be damned if I can’t have my country backroads and empty freeways at night. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Whenever I drive or bike anywhere I’m worried my car or bike will disappear when I return npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs I do sometimes wonder about the interoperability request form. I wonder why all these little cuts haven’t been fixed through it. Does it involve a lot of legalese so only big corps can afford it? Is the scope too small? Does Apple reject things overzealously? Surely if it was easy the indies would’ve requested everything by now npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs If the case goes out we will do pins 1 & 6 with 5V 500mA and 3 & 4 to ground npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs So update on my headphone post. The wireless headphones are back. I tried charging them once a day for the past week. Today, I smacked it on my desk 5 times and plugged it in again and that little shit started charging npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…aknw ah those are some beautiful headphones! Unfortunately —I forgot to clarify—I’m in the market for in ear headphones npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…7us6 ahh. Are you talking about the WF or the WH series? Because the WF was actually my wireless pair that died. With that being said I actually managed to beat it into shape by enabling LDAC and with the most awful looking EQ you’ll ever see that I found on Reddit: https://imgur.com/gallery/wf-1000xm4-eq-PE33gTY. I did mess with it a little more, but I can’t recover my exact values because… well… but worth a shot. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…qram assuming you’re referring to the jbl? Yeah it’s wild for a headphone going for 20 dollars. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…qram i just and checked im no expert (any experts?) but to my utterly uneducated eyes it does look like the 20 dollar headphones have a better curve? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…qram yeah, just to name names I had the WF-1000XM4, and now I'm using the JBL Endurance Run 2. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Been using wired headphones recently because my $250 wireless ones went for a swim. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…yycj https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/ npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs We’re so fucked npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…k5s9 But yeah, I don't think the models need to train more. There's very little that the latest iterations of LLMs can do that ChatGPT 1.0 couldn't. IMO they should just call it here and devote their money towards looking for another technological breakthrough instead of brute forcing diminishing returns. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…k5s9 Jevons paradox! Yes we just ended up finding ways to use more, but LEDs also enabled us to *do more.* For better or for worse I can't imagine my life without LEDs. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs More and more I've found that where AI excels is sort of augmenting things. Dropping in when something is tedious and then getting the fuck out of my way. Big tech wants their AI interfaces to become the epicenter of my attention and I just don't want to spend my time with the robot. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Like they could get Genie 4 working for hours and I'd rather be playing Baba is You. What is the use case? Maybe if it outputted 3d models then it would be a creation tool, but it doesn't do that. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs I also think in a lot of ways the tech bros and their GPUs are hurtling towards some dead ends. Like the models keep getting bigger and more impressiver but they still fail in much of the same ways, they just get a little further than last time. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs I feel like LLMs have gotten worse over time. Probably partly true (prompt overfitting), but also I think there was a lot of novelty initially. Now I've sort of figured out what it can do. As it turns out it can't do a lot of the things that I do. Every time I ask it to do one of these things I know it can't do I get a good laugh and am reassured that it won't be replacing me any time soon. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…77z0 I actually went the other way (from Android to iOS) and while I *do* look back I'm also happy where I am. With android everything was pretty consistently mediocore. With Apple its either amazing or Insufferable. I've found that for the *average* things I do on my phone the iphone is usually in the amazing camp, but as soon as you leave that beaten path man do I want my droid. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Call me a doomer but with 17 years of entrenchment and no corporate buyin iOS will never be fully interoperable. Like the now playing widget has a separate icon for AirPods. Only Apple Maps is able to stay open when you lock your phone. The DMA is great but it’s the sum of a bazillion little things that makes a product feel at home. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs yall remember cohost? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Some diva at Instagram is running pride ads npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Yes I know it’s probably illegal and that I can chargeback and then get my account banned because I wasn’t a good little drone but like where is the 10,000 dollar fine for pulling that little maneuver npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…4057 yeah exempt if anyone at Apple was rational they’d let you put menu bar utilities in the control panel but no npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs It should be illegal for payment flows to have bugs npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…hv29 first one lowk giving amongus npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs amazing i lovr faster shipping npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs (@nprofile…q8a2) npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/114/787/502/118/516/683/original/e1d2f54581e69873.png npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs “In 1944, during World War II, Guthrie prepared another version, which drops the two verses that are critical of the United States from the original: verse four, regarding private property, and verse six, regarding hunger” npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs And the final verse? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Did you know that the lost fourth verse of “This Land is Your Land” went as follows? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…zp8e to put it simpler — if people’s everyday tasks are trivial enough to be successfully outsourced to a LLM, were these tasks *ever* worthy pursuits? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…zp8e I expected someone to link a study like this. The thing is, these two statements are not mutually incompatible. It is an understandable result that outsourcing all thought—even if trivial—will diminish one’s current to think. It can also be true that school has been ineffective long before LLMs, and the fact that LLMs are so good at doing school work is evidence. If all of the above is true, it follows that LLMs exasperate/are a symptom of a larger problem npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…zd46 yeah, sometimes the quest to always have the very best is not worth it. Like my favorite games are both 2d: Celeste and Hollow Knight. Any computer could run those fine. And also like take GTA V. It came out a decade ago. Does any game really need better graphics than GTA V? I think that increasingly we find that improvements in hardware performance do have some retroactive benefit, but more than anything allow game developers to be more lazy with optimization npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Thanks to LTT for surfacing this great piece: npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…gffv yeah I perhaps worded that too casually. What I meant is that a complete abstinence policy won’t work. By “using it” that should mean something more structurally enriching around discovering its pitfalls and limitations, kinda moving beyond the “magic thing” a lot of people believe it to be. Teaching students why it can’t do math, why you can’t take what it says at face value, what values its creators are projecting through it, ect. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Also, about one month ago I wrote a letter to my town explaining my belief that AI is not the thing that is killing critical thinking. Banning computers because students could use AI is just as regressive as banning calculators because they can do math. AI cannot kill critical thinking as it cannot think, it’s just that current curriculums do not incentivize thought. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…h9yy mostly fine, just tired. Odd week really. Over the weekend I was backpacking in the woods. Monday I had minor surgery. Tuesday I have Covid. That’s just life, good to be young and generally healthy. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Also coming back from my mastodon hiatus to announce I tested positive for covid the first time today npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…dvy3 Sweet. I did mention the Pico 8 but it seems like an amazing fit for UXN as well, I'll add UXNDS to the article. I wonder if someone will ever get picotron running on that thing. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs I know the Switch 2 just came on but I want to give you a love letter to my 3DS: npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs iphone mfs with their spatial video nonsense trying to replicate the power of the 3ds. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Wikipedia but the edit button says "Vandalize" npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…4tpe heeey... wintercg!! npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs The government wants graphics cards to only work in the US. How will it be done? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs no wonder politicians are so scared. npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs @nprofile…569z not even for 12 dollars? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs As I correctly predicted over one year ago, fare evasion did increase. The MBTA says that “a loss of $25 to $30 million threatens a lifeline,” and that “every dollar is important to us.” If that was really so, you wouldn’t have spent 1 billion dollars so that you could lose an additional 30 million dollars each year in perpetuity. What the hell? npub1quckc0f7d0ktmwxanj33wtg9gk6ra3audmv7jqeqc75dd2j7mupsd3pp3v Evan B🥥ehs Well, Well, Well. Who could've possibly predicted this
