@octothorpe I’m totally with you, though I do think the mainstream media portrayed him undeservedly positively for a long time.

I feel like “I bought this before we knew Elon Musk was crazy” bumper stickers on Teslas are fundamentally dishonest. We all knew he was fucking crazy. We just didn’t realize he was fucking crazy AND a right wing nut job. But we should’ve, because all selfish rich assholes are. #ElonMusk

I don’t think I’m ever going to find another tech job.

@paul I think a one year warranty is still pretty standard in the industry, so it probably doesn’t compare poorly to many others. But I like the idea of starting to apply pressure for a longer basic warranty.

@octothorpe Yeah, but it’s a collective decision.

Don’t forget to set the clocks back 50 years next week. #USPolitics

Every mention of Elon Musk in the news should still mention his behaviour during the Thailand cave rescue.

i didn't realize this: Tom Lehrer ("Poisoning Pigeons in the Park") is apparently still alive at 96.

The "vote blue no matter who" thing occasionally confuses me, since we use blue for conservatives in Canada.

Waking up to find my photo of my lovely fuzzy weirdo had been used as a reference by @73pctGeek for a painting was a wonderful start to the day.

The official Reddit app doesn’t have text size controls, and instead tells you to adjust Dynamic Type. They are definitely using Dynamic Type to scale, but the story font is really small. Bumping it to make it easy to read makes all the other text impractically large.

I have been considering not doing any tech size controls in my app, but I think this has convinced me otherwise. If I have a large block of text, I will have a text size control for that block. But not for anything else. #iosDev

I watched about half an episode of the ewoks cartoon in September. Not only is it far worse than I remember (and I remember it being terrible) but now the song is stuck in my head.

Headline: McConnell says ‘MAGA movement is completely wrong’ and Reagan ‘wouldn’t recognize’ Trump’s GOP

I mean, true, but Reagan also wouldn’t recognize his own wife.

I seem to have won the fight against boob windows but she's still got no feet.

@octothorpe for the fun of it, I asked for a male version.

He's got a chest window.

@octothorpe …I AM UNDONE.

@octothorpe It went all wrong after this, but I liked this one.

(Aasimar warlock.)

@octothorpe This should be an easy way to fiddle with a concept, but oops. There's a boob window again.

(It's not that I dislike breasts, but c'mon. I'm going for a refined and practical look here.)

"Here is an updated version with no chest window."

I think if I keep asking the LLM to stop showing a chest window it's eventually going to just draw her topless.

Simon looks like a poorly constructed Muppet. #Cats #OrangeCats #catsOfMastodon
