This @system76 device looks rad as hell. Man, I wish this had been out a year ago.https://www.phoronix.com/news/System76-Pangolin-15-AMD-Linux

@ernie I was wrong; both accounts seem legit. She only appears to have linked to the campaign account from X, which limits what users can see without being signed in. Without a link on her site or post on any publicly searchable site (not X), it was hard to confirm it was real. Which comes back to the point: "Elected officials should use custom domain handles like @warren.senate.gov to verify accounts."

I need to set it up so every Tedium issue is sponsored by another Tedium issue. Just an infinite loop of Tedium self-sponsorship.No clue how that makes money, but it seems like it’d be at least interesting.

This whole WordPress-has-to-roll-back-all-the-stuff-that-made-everyone-mad situation doesn’t feel like it’s going to do much to rebuild burned bridges.Maybe we should take the saga for what it is: A sign that one CMS shouldn’t rule online content.https://tedium.co/2024/12/14/wordpress-wp-engine-reaction/new @tedium

@ernie wannnnnttttt omg. I wonder how many of those even exist

@ernie Looking at the sheer amount of the web Matt Mullenweg could shut down, or at least break, with a few keystrokes because he woke up on the wrong side of the bed is begging for more attention. What is it? Wordpress is 100 or so million websites shy of powering 1 billion websites? I think I read one stat that said the number was more like a half a billion active. May have even been something you wrote about that I read.

Well, that was a giant waste of everyone’s time.Congrats Matt Mullenweg, all your aggressive actions ended up getting flipped over immediately.https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69221176/64/wpengine-inc-v-automattic-inc/

@scottmiller42 @ernie @mattl @cainmark and movies like Gremlins or The Shining (or Platoon etc) I would agree with you are vastly more scaring and problematic for kids to see than a naked breast. Though a lot of films of my childhood/teen years (80’s and early 90’s) are problematic for what they normalize for other reasons than just nakedness (revenge of the nerds for example is horrific in what it shows the “good guys” doing)

@ernie @tedium it takes a lot of restraint (helped I'm sure by not having lots of outside investors) to not have gone down lots of other paths and to keep their business model that streamlined and simple. But also their "scale" is still pretty mind-blowing (1B+ page views a day) - so while their interface is seemingly simple and little changed - I suspect their backend is pretty exceptional to manage that scale (and hide the complexity that comes with it)

Thank you for your patience, y’all. And may you enjoy the piece I came up with: https://tedium.co/2024/12/02/nintendo-expansion-port-history/

@ernie I think I have one of these in the pile of laptops. Curious to see what you do with it.

@ernie you should never go full linkedin
