"Can everyone see my screen?" is the ossified consequence of the many usability failures of early video conferencing tools. These days software is better, and 99% of the time we can see your screen! The question is usually no longer useful, but it will forever be part of the screen sharing dance.

High pulp orange juice has disappeared from the shelves at our local grocery stores. The best I’ve been able to get for months now is a meager “some pulp” or “with pulp”. Is there a national pulp shortage? Are we at war with pulp now?

Hey Portland-area folks: if the wind storm has knocked your power out and you'd like a faster, simpler, more phone-friendly source for outage information than PGE's slow website or glitchy app, visit https://outages.piffle.io/

“Oops I accidentally did a Nazi salute” seems to be a much more common problem for power-obsessed fascist bootlickers than it is for most people I know. I wonder if there’s a connection.

Will corporate enshittification ruin Bluesky before open source dysfunction ruins Mastodon?

Trick question. They’ll both be distant memories when we’re all racing through the wasteland in our war rigs huffing chrome and fighting over guzzolene.
