  OK, I figured out I needed to export a separate version of the video from Final Cut Pro with some tweaks to codecs. I'll move away from FCP at some point, but I'm working with what I have at the moment. #peertube

  Can someone tell Agent Orange that if we now have "Super Intelligence", we certainly don't need his shit laden ass in the White House, he can be replaced with "SI". BTW, it's still Large Language Models and TFG is still an asshole

  So now the U.S. is going to start live streaming executions? What in the actual fuck.

  I have no idea how to promote this other than this toot, but two of my videos are on PeerTube. https://peertube.jpstorm.com/ #goOutdoors #hiking #stormchaser

  For the life of me I don't know how average computer users can fall for profiles like this one found on Instagram

  In an alternate universe I’m being pestered for autographs for my role as a warlock in a revival of “Bewitched”.

  My husband and I are flying to Orlando today. We originally were flying TUS-DEN-MCO, but then the last leg was delayed 5+ hours. So we hastily booked TUS-IAH-MCO and now we're getting to Orlando closer to the originally planned time. We were able to do this because the United app is actually very good and intuitive. Shout out to United for a good job with the technology.

  I still love my Armitron calculator watch from 1982. Honestly, I’m surprised it still works just fine all these years later. I used to be told it was too dorky, especially when I was a young man finding my place in the world and the community. Good thing my husband thoroughly loves the dorky in me.

  I suggested to the county highway department a wayfinding sign to I-10 from the National Park, as there was a turn not signed properly for that corridor. This morning I noticed the new sign had been installed. Just doing my civic duty.

  Honestly, I don't care what you do to your body to make you feel comfortable in your skin. However, I don't get this Mar-A-Lago face trend. I had less bondo in my rusted out '74 Vega.

  Old school clock systems are awesome! This is the second system at MCO Orlando Intl Airport. It’s made by National Time using their rotary drive impulse system. Previous to this was a Standard branded Faraday synchronous system. I build Raspberry Pi based master clocks to keep these systems running. #retrotech

  @stux@mstdn.social Has something changed with mstdn.social? I can no longer access with the tooi CLI app.

  Folks in my hometown area along Lake Ontario are having fits on Facebook about Google Maps relabeling the lake. I remind them, “if Google Maps is willing to relabel Lake Ontario to make the government happy, just imagine what they’d do with all that data they’ve grabbed from you to make the government happy”.

  I’m trying to convince my husband we need to buy a tiny home or a double wide in tornado alley so I have a base of operations during Chase months

  “Why do you use 67235515 in so many encryption seed algorithms?” “It’s the SKU of a candy bar I purchased in 1988. If you don’t like that I’ll switch to the SKU for Doritos”.

  So I have an interesting mix of Linux distros running right now: Desktop: Debian Trixie with GNOME 48 Laptop: RHEL 10.2 with GNOME 49 Focused Laptop: Fedora Sway Atomic Home Servers (repurposed Mac Minis from 2011): Debian Trixie 13 I'm keeping the Desktop and Laptop in parity as far as functionality (keyboard shortcuts, etc.) goes and it's working well. I'm still working on moving my photography management from Mac to Linux, but I'm making good strides. #linux

  Linux folks: I’m looking for a photo management app that has basic photo editing capabilities. Don’t tell me about GIMP. Shotwell? digiKam? Something else?

  Welp, the used car dealer has determined it's going to cost too much for them to fix my 2015 Jeep Wrangler under warranty, so they're refunding us all the money and I no longer have a Jeep. Yay?

  I am switching back to the Catppuccin Mocha theme across as many apps as possible and it's making me much happier about tech in general.

  I've bought these "mindmapping" apps over the years and after using these various pieces of software I always come to the same conclusion: just typing my thoughts in a markdown document using vim is the best way for me to map my mind.

  Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That lovely month when everything goes blissfully astray. Tra la! It's here! That shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear!

  As an individual with brain chemistry that runs into "decision fatigue" quickly, interacting with an LLM for an extended amount of time is bloody exhausting.

  And in this world of LLM assisted coding, it's very clear that I'm a hand keyed SKU in a world of touchscreens and tip requests

  We are moving from fast food attendants using vocal fry to ASMR whisper voices and I am not pleased. Just use your damn regular voice. This is Whataburger, not a YouTube channel.

  “Everybody Everybody” by Black Box is now playing in this Whataburger. I have loudly declared, “all hail Martha Wash”. I’m of the generation of gays that still fiercely protect Ms Wash’s performance on Black Box, Seduction, and C+C Music Factory records. The model in the Black Box videos can’t sing. At all.

  I’ve been taking the Wrangler off road today. There are some great trails in my favorite part of SE Arizona,, which is the Sonoita area. This new Jeep is doing very well on its inaugural weekend. #jeep

  I’m back to giving Brave a try across my various platforms. So far it’s been a very good experience.

  At the request of work, I’ve been reposting the company posts on my LinkedIn profile. Since then, the number of text messages from”the CEO” has increased from never before to at least a half dozen a day. Tip? Don’t tie any phone numbers to your LinkedIn account. Second tip? Avoid LinkedIn if you can. I know, easier said than done.
