Got my tax refund back. Have to pay a little to az state tax, but the IRS refund is like 8 times that amount. Goes into my save fund for an M5 Ultra Studio when they come out. I'm assuming that will be about $10k or more.
The me of yore would have laughed until my lungs prolapsed at a purchase like that.

🚀 Ohm's #PEG-to-WASM Compiler: because everyone needs a #parsing #tool that's 50x #faster to parse things nobody asked for! 😂 Forget about improving your life—just make #parsing 0.02 seconds quicker. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an #unnecessary #compiler update! 🙄

Spannend ist ja schon, dass die meisten Apps, die Google Play Services verlangen, auch problemlos ohne Google Play Services funktionieren.
Weshalb zum Henker "benötigen" sie denn Google Play Services? Der Funktionalität wegen sicher nicht.
Kommt hinzu, dass viele Apps, die Netzwerk "benötigen", auch tiptop funktionieren ohne diese Berechtigung.

🤦♂️ Oh look, another overzealous attempt at #virtue-signaling through font design, because clearly, every Indigenous community was just waiting for their own Jekyll template. 🤷♀️ Let's not forget the riveting saga of font decisions that absolutely no one asked for. 📚✨

From my recent unexpected trip.
If a superfluous label for an unnecessary switch is ignored, does a tree fall in the forest and hit a mime?

Ah, another "essential" guide from the future that shows #Python #developers how to complicate their lives with #unnecessary #frameworks 😊🔮.

This isn't a perfect example, but back in 2008 the series "Life After People" had both UK and US narration for the same show, which gives an interesting example of how different a tone can be set just by the soundtrack - Here's the first minute in each language of S02E07.https://soundcloud.com/spodlet/us-versus-uk-narration-in-life-after-people-2008

I was talking to somebody a few days ago about how "The Curse of Oak Island" would be an entirely different show in the UK - Each season would be cut down to 2 or 3 episodes, there would be much more emphasis on the archaeology and the technology, and the narration wouldn't be anything like as dramatic and irritating.#UkTV #TV #Movies #OakIsland #Unnecessary #Drama #Archaeology #Audio #Environment #LifeAfterPeople

Harris Visits MAGA Areas of Pennsylvania, to Cut Into Trump’s Edge
The vice president, who appeared in #Johnstown and #Wilkes-#Barre, said she would
❇️ #remove “#unnecessary degree #requirements” for some federal jobs,a pitch to Mr. Trump’s base of voters without a college education in a part of the state where he expects to perform well.
Ms. Harris also emphasized her work in California
❇️ #prosecuting Mexican #drug #cartels,
and said as president she would continue to go after them “for pushing poisons like fentanyl on our children.”The vice president’s Trump-country pitch amounted to a continuation of her appeal to moderate and right-leaning voters that began at the Democratic National Convention last month
and continued during Tuesday’s debate with the former president. -
One little delight about #mastodon is when the translation bot suggests translations for stuff that is already in my language. Someday they'll make the bot so sophisticated it no longer does this, and I will be sad.

@gerrymcgovern While I appreciate the concerns with regards to energy use & I personally feel that #AI is a serious #existentialThreat to #humanity..
I do wonder why some people feel the need to #insult others like "fuck tech bros" etc. Seems #unnecessary.
In the end most, if not all, #energy slurping services keep existing because of users. Including "social media" like X, Face**, etc and yes even #Mastodon & the #Fediverse with its glorious cat pics..
So I applaud efforts to reduce usage. ❤️

@freezr you need not be embarassed.
From yesterday evening's case:
❝… Is there any reason why I'm forced to use vi? Talk about a ginormous headache. It isn't something that I want to learn or even know exists. This is super frustrating.❞
— followed by a stream of lessons about vi.
The intentions are good, however: it is, essentially, ignorant of a person's wishes, at a time when the person is already unnecessarily frustrated.
I have been in the same "super frustrating" situation umpteen times over the years. I hate it. Brought me close to tears, more than once.
❝Maybe the people that did the installer/upgrade utility should ask which is the preferred editor prior to bringing up the merge conflict prompt.❞
The installation information in areas such as <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/> could be expanded, again, to include something like this (I'm phrasing it bluntly):
――
⚠ WARNING: Before attempting a binary update, or upgrade, with freebsd-update(8): know what to do when presented with nothing more than a colon:
:
Also, learn to use vi(1), in particular:
:
— an expected colon to execute an ex command (not to be confused with the unexpected ambiguous colon).
――
A warning is feasible, however: complicating the installation information would be yet another avoidance of the underlying problem.
Also feasible: read a chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, however this is impossible if you're stuck in vi with no obvious means of escape.
Also feasible: read the random FreeBSD tip about escaping from vi, however this is impossible if you're already stuck in vi with no obvious means of escape.
