I'm a 🇪🇺 expat now settled in 🇺🇸 - I live and breath coding, with my strongest passion being the wonderful world of operating systems, no matter how old, modern, broken or elegant they are.

I'm from the late-BBS generation, so perhaps I'm a COF?

@npub1pvv…f5ml yep. I make a somewhat popular Mac app so I usually update quickly when the GM gets out.

Somebody on Reddit just noticed something weird.
Windows XP’s default wallpaper (“Bliss”) was actually a photo taken in Sonoma, California.
macOS Sonoma’s default wallpaper seems an abstract version of the same photo.
Coincidence? Who 👃🏻…

@npub1pvv…f5ml for you I’d go all the way up to €2 properties.

I’ve been looking to “finally” purchase a new car. I have a modest Fiesta that for the Bay Area is a bit of a joke but I’m happy with it.
Low maintenance, good mileage, cheap and easy to keep around.
Anyhow, I’m thinking of some EV (an IONIQ 5, perhaps?) but they’re just so darn expensive and I try to be as frugal as possible (aka: I’m a cheap bastard).
Driving with the kiddo in the Fiesta however is not exactly comfy…

It’s post-7pm: little devil is asleep and our adult time finally starts.
Too bad we’re burnt out already.

@npub1q8n…kct8 if I need to get into a nursing home in my 40s I'd probably have bigger issues than a mere stagnating friends situation

Question for the 80s generation folks: is it normal to have very few friends around at this age?😅
Everybody fucking disappeared.

@npub1l3g…vu48 gobbledygook
(had to google for the right spelling, yes :))

I have to be honest: I thought this request was a phish attempt at first.
TL;DR somehow PayPal thought to send out an email to request to add a new root CA to my truststore.
I'm really puzzled by these guys. #CyberSecurity

@npub1l3g…vu48 SF Bay Area but yeah I think weirdness is more or less the same as in LA

2024-03-28 19:01:55

Not sure but all my interactions in the area are characterized by what I feel a lack of presence of my interlocutor.
It seems as though many many people lost the “light” in their eyes and just the shell is left.

Got my Moderna shot! \o/
It took a while for the new vaccine to be available around here but finally it seems very easy to find, also because nobody really seems to be getting it anyways.
