Alright. Tried of worrying about defederation, I've now moved to @zigdon@hachyderm.io. Hopefully, everything migrated cleanly, so no one will really notice.

But we all know how well hope works as a strategy.

So apparently this cough I've had for the last year is "post-covid asthma". Going to try a 3 month treatment and in theory it should be possible to get rid of it.

Or perhaps I'm stuck with it basically forever. Only time will tell, whee!

Why am i awake at 5? To be fair, I was awake at 4, I just gave up on trying to go back to sleep at 5 :(

It's always nice to hear that the ferry was early today because they didn't have to bail out the water from the bottom of the boat. Yup, totally, extremely reassuring.

I emptied my 5gal jug I've been filling with spare change since 2006. Anyone want to guess how much money I ended up with in that time?

Watched some of the climbing coverage from the Olympics. I swear, one day someone will make a service that will take the raw footage and allow me to actually see the climbers on the wall and they will make a killing.

I don't really know much about hardware these days, but this isn't what modern memory is supposed to be doing, is it?

So I've been using my #steamdeck as my main desktop for a couple of weeks, and it's been alright -- my main annoyance is that I need to remember to actually not leave the deck in the other room when i want to sit at my desk.

Which made me think, i have a desktop here, i could just put a linux install on it directly.

So.... what do people use these days for a gaming-focused linux distro?

First time taking a self-driving taxi. Probably not too surprising I trust the robot driver more than most human drivers I've had. It even dealt (mostly okay) with finding the street it was going to pick me up suddenly blocked by a police car.

Of course, what happens when the sand driver decides to misbehave, I've no idea. But when it works, it's very nice.

When airlines started adding 'track your checked bags' features i was really excited. They already scan the bags on loading/unloading, passing that to my phone seemed like a brilliant idea.

Until today, where my flight was delayed by an hour, but the app happily told me my bag was unloaded at the original landing time, and loaded on to the connected flight.

My plane hasn't even landed yet. I guess they 'upgraded' the feature to use ai.

50 minutes later, i'm still talking to support trying to get them to maybe give me a refund, dunno why i even bother.

State of streaming 2024: there was a tv show i wanted to try, and amazon had the first ep free. watched that, then decided to buy the seasons.

i know google is awful, but i still like them more than amazon, so went to buy season 1 there.

• looks like it bought it on my other gmail account
• looks like it bought seasons 2 of the show, not season 1
• talking to support now, they can't find the tx at all. i have the receipt in the email of one account, and it shows up in the order history of the other
• chat's typing indicator is the same spinner they use for the AI bullshit, so while i'm pretty sure i'm talking to a person, i have approximately no confidence that there isn't an ai "helping" involved.
