  Sitting in the neatest coffee shop having an apple pie chai latte. Ravenstone Abbey occupies the Old Stone Church in Coleraine, MN. Beautiful old architecture with dark oak interiors, and the staff has had fun decorating it for Halloween. https://www.ravenstoneabbey.com/ #Minnesota

  Trying to use Apple Maps to locate some nearby bookshops. I see lots of numbered places found with a list of 10 results, but they’re all advertised businesses, none of which are what I’m searching for. An app that used to be so useful is now made useless. #Apple #enshittification

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@AbandonedAmerica/117470243293281228 AI Slop is ruining the internet and ruining the world. How can we invent such amazing technology, but we can’t keep it out of the hands of assholes? #AI #AiSlop

  If you ever loved playing Myst and the mysterious storyline behind it, Cyan Worlds has posted a Kickstarter to fund a three-book collection that expands on this world. In its first couple of hours, they’ve funded the project almost five times over. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyanworlds/the-myst-trilogy-guild-of-writers-deluxe-collection #Books #Bookstodon #ComputerGames #Myst

  Mobile carrier says “Scam likely”. Apple says “Priority” simply because the area code is nearby. I’ve turned off all priority notifications, yet Apple still ignores that and notifies me anyway on my lock screen. Less is more unless you’re a software developer who thinks more is more. #Apple #enshittification

  It must really suck to be a cold call salesperson.

  One hell of a first page. Just picked up my next read The Forever War by Dexter Filkins — a New York Times war correspondent’s view covering America’s conflict with Islamic fundamentalism. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6021222 #books #Bookstodon #history #WarReporting

  Jo, warrior princess, keeping me company. Apparently, this corner is the only clutter-free spot on my desk. She even judges me in her sleep. #Caturday

  For anyone who’s been here in the fediverse for a while, aren’t you over spending time on other social media and then coming here to complain about it? Aren’t you over reporting here what shocking posts you’ve been seeing there? Make a plan to leave, and just leave. Stop bringing it here.

  RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116912840461037655 I hate jumping to conclusions about ongoing situations I know nothing about. I do know, though, ICE has acted recklessly and with impunity far too long for me to trust anything they or the DHS says. Following #Maine and #Biddeford. #ICE

  Today was our last day patrolling for ICE near our local elementary school. Packed away my day-glow yellow vest and whistle in a cubbyhole in the car. Appreciative of all the waves, thumbs ups, honks, fist bumps, and handshakes from the community members over the last few months. I loved when folks rolled down their windows and slowed down so I could see them smiling and waving. Stay vigilant, folks. This isn't over. But it's a milestone. #ICEOut #Minnesota #StPaul

  When the pandemic hit, people managers suddenly lost their ability to see butts in chairs at the office, which was mistaken as “productivity”. Now, they’re trying to replicate that same mistake by forcing employees to use AI so they can measure token usage. Mmmmyess… Quantity over quality is the hallmark of success. Also known as the spaghetti factor.

  I see a lot of videos customers (and co-workers) provide to show technical problems they're experiencing. But instead of using their words (narration), they think grossly wagging the cursor at different parts of the screen allows me to read their thoughts.

  Since getting chosen to present my workshop “How to edit your terrible tech writing” at MacAdmins Conference at Penn State, I've written six pages of notes and ideas. Just finished throwing them into sticky notes in Freeform on my computer to help me organize thoughts and topics. Writing the presentation and putting together the Keynote slides has usually been time consuming but easy. But I’ll still probably agonize over the introduction. #bujo #BulletJournal #MacAdmins #psumac #psuma...
