My annual advice as someone who turned a disastrous lifestyle around: if you try to start a dozen new habits on January 1st, you will get overwhelmed and fail all of them.

If you have a list of things like “shower every day”, “go to bed before midnight”, “keep up my duolingo streak” etc, pick ONE, the most urgent one that will improve your life the most, and don’t worry about the others until you’ve gotten the hang of it. Build up to your resolutions over the year

@foone how much text could Astroboy for the GBA possibly have such that a convoluted custom compression scheme was called for

this is why that couch is in a different place in every photo of our living room.

if you’re feeling down about yourself, rest assured that Odin thinks you are amazing and fantastic, especially if you’re willing to boop him

My Dutch husband and I were having a private conversation in English in the park and an old woman came up to us and snapped that in the Netherlands "we" speak Dutch. Mevrouw, tegen mijn eigen echtgenoot spreek ik Chinees als ik dat wil!

There was a very lost refugee in the park looking for the bus stop. It's a good thing he approached us and not her, she'd have been absolutely no help.

how it started / how it’s going

Odin the Newfie is eleven months old

here’s a previous example of it stumbling over Dutch to innovate a truly excellent new English word https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/112303571242065236

I continue to be fascinated by Apple Translate’s distinct failure mode of not being sure which of two synonyms to use to translate a word and deciding to just King Solomon it by splitting down the middle on token boundaries. Today it couldn’t decide if 孺 is “kids” or “children” and settled on “kidre”

Real talk: Odin the Newfoundlander has been a huge hit on mastodon, and my husband and I are worried someone might commit to raising a similar dog without fully understanding what they’re in for. At ten months old, Odin has the brain of a baby while being as big and strong as a human adult. He doesn’t quite grasp that trying to playfully tug me around by the coat sleeve easily leads to chomping down on my arm with massive force; obviously we’ve been trying to train him out of it but again, BABY.

If there’s people in your household who wouldn’t be able to calmly withstand the occasional massive crushing bruise or getting unexpectedly rammed by 160 pounds of pure love and enthusiasm like a freight train, don’t bring in a Newfie puppy. Look into either a different breed or adopting an older dog

Good news: The Dell firmware update utility definitely checks whether update executables are signed.

Bad news: Dell is posting unsigned update executables to their website labeled “critical” which then fail to install due to the good news

It’s here. I can confirm that the Chinese textbook for children that licensed “Assassin’s Creed as drawn by the son of the Mr. Men artist” is 100% real. Here’s Mr. Ezio explaining irony in literature

found a children's educational book on ali express which claims to have licensed the most stunning crossover I have ever seen
