The Romantic. Really cool animated fantasy feature film from ~2009. For a while, the creator had it on Vimeo and even uploaded it to archive.org. Then he seemed to wipe every trace of it off the web. I can only find a shitty 320p version that someone must have had cached. It’s better than nothing, but I want to see it again in the full resolution that was once available.

My mom once asked if my Jewish girlfriend celebrated Thanksgiving. When I scoffed, she reminded me that there weren’t any Jews on the Mayflower.

I reminded her that there weren’t any Catholics either.

Vigil from Mass Effect. I think it’s the song playing when you first get the galaxy map, and playing that game and seeing the world open up while hearing that song really put me in a great mood.

I built my wife a gaming PC. She’s controller only. It’s basically an xbox. Decided to try ubuntu to see if we could avoid paying for windows.

She’s already 100% Hogwarts Legacy and played a dozen other games.

The only hangup was controller support for Slime Rancher on her 8bitduo. Had to use an xbox controller.

She knows nothing about linux, but she’ll install and play games through Steam no problem.

It’s a great doc. It was on PBS for a while.

Oh don’t worry. At Thermo Fisher, they call them “absences.”

I was excited to learn that homeassistant lets me bypass the atrocious Sonos app for controlling all my speakers from various music sources.

Though at the same time, I’m little disappointed that offTikTok is broken.

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Yes, and as we’ve seen time and time again, companies are totally cool when operating costs suddenly revert back to what they were years ago.

That’s great that they were able to replace people with equipment that they own and control. Oh what’s that? The price and capabilities of this AI can change at any time?

Very safe and cool investment.
