Wouldn't it be funny if Raid: Shadow Legends was actually an awesome game and Raycons were secretly fantastic sounding ear buds?

I know it's on Disney+, and fuck Disney, but if you get a chance, watch The Beatles documentary.

It's really something special to be able to watch a "real" documentary without an artificial narrative added by the film maker in order to add drama or guide the story to a certain way. It's just a chance to watch a thing that happened. No cut-aways with a narrator, or animated explainers. No guided interviews. It's great.

I just ran into a binary of Mastochist. I didn’t expect it to run or successfully interface with Mastodon. To my surprise, it did! So I’m sending this post from it just to say that.

I've been paying a hosting provider to run my internet radio station for years now, mostly because it was easy and I didn't want to deal with it myself. As a little side project palate cleanser I'm finally changing that and adding it to the list of things I'm hosting from my apartment. Going to start the playlists from scratch and see how it grows.

Most listened to music in the past week:

Covenant and Hybrid.

Good news everyone.

After what seems like an eternity of experimenting with video games to find one that's as good as Animal Crossing, I believe I've found it.

I'm proud to announce that the second greatest video game, next to Animal Crossing is:

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania

I'm Pro-Docker. I think it's a fantastic tool and I enjoy using it. But I'm seeing far too many pieces of software use it as a crutch by relying on it as a primary installation avenue.

If your software is so complex or difficult to install that you say "just use Docker" to get around it then there's a problem with your software.

Docker should be an option for how to run it, not a quick-fix for installation.

Nothing annoys me more than when you launch a streaming service app and it asks you to pick a profile when you only have one profile configured.

To me it means it's assumed everyone lives in a household full of multiple people, and the use case where somebody would live by themselves, or have account not shared, is so unlikely they won't even take the time to deal with it. It personally judges me for me for being alone.

When I worked at Philo I fought this hard, and won. They won't prompt you.

Except the thumbnail looks like sports commentators.

Robert Picardo showed up. This is now just a Star Trek series.

I'm ready with my Star Trek Omega Particle jokes for when the omega variant muates.

The news keeps saying I should be able to get a booster shot anywhere and everywhere. And maybe it's specific to San Francisco, but there's just no open availability to get a booster shot anywhere.

I was outside at Death Guild getting some fresh air when some woman was turned away for not having been vaccinated. She went off yelling “You’re not goth! My dad was goth! Suck my titty! I’m Rick James, bitch! Fuck your money!”

And that made my night. Hope you all had a good cyber Monday.
