Random: I made a 'Uses' page and it's fairly typical. I will be updating it as I think of new things to add and/or find all my typos. https://mikesusz.dev/uses/

@annika hi Annika! long time. i hope you are well.

this is how DJ sleeps on me on the couch.

like seriously. here are screenshots of the separate desktops (don’t be creepy). And one of the Settings for Display where you can _arrange_ the displays!

Apple is … finally letting the iPad be a Real Computer?

boy howdy. iPadOS 17 beta. as i type this, i’m using an M1 iPad Pro attached to a 35” widescreen monitor at it’s native aspect ratio, via a twelvesouth dock. i’ve got a mechanical keyboard and bluetooth mouse paired. i have two apps in split-screen on the internal iPad display. i have two apps side by side in Stage Manager on the 35” display.

this feels like a “real computer.” like, i’ve been using this for a while and i kinda forgot this is an iPad and not my Mac desktop.

i pay an egregious amount for online streaming and on demand services, and yet every time — every time we want to watch a movie, it’s never available on any of them and we have to buy or rent it.

i should cancel all of this crap and we pay for what we watch, only.

@siracusa mine bitcoin = air fryer?

@marcamos @eric we sometimes wake our teenager up for school by grabbing his phone and start playing (like some old country song or something) on spotify and run out of the room with it. he leaps out of bed shouting “my algorithm!”

reddit ceo says they haven’t seen financial impact yet, so i went and canceled my Premium renewal. this won’t be realized until my sub would have renewed, but it’s something. then i logged out again.

maybe if more of us did this?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

or are subscriptions just a drop in the bucket compared to selling (our) data to advertisers?

@hbuchel 🤔Spatuloon?

@jeffbyrnes @marcamos for an occasional/project vehicle, probably not?

@marcamos looks like you just missed one, but they show up periodically https://carsandbids.com/search/mitsubishi/delica

@marcamos one might set up an alert on cars&bids. ;)

things are a lot less orange today and i can actually see the east river and central park.

real blade runner feels in NYC right now. the camera adjusts the exposure but it’s dark enough outside for streetlights and headlights

@irafcummings one of the first art deco buildings in NYC. i’m sure there was some controversy about the terracotta. (i absolutely love it)

2 Park Avenue. Designed by Ely Jacques Kahn, 1926.

@jeffbyrnes oh yeah this isn’t on my desktop. i’m trying to add an airplay streaming target to my DNS server in the basement so we can stream to speakers in basement and garage. so i’ve got shairport-sync running in a docker container but i need to configure the system ALSA to actually interface with the audio hardware.

that thing where I come back to my computer and sit down and realize from the tabs I have open and the terminal window that I was troubleshooting sound on linux and i want to go away again

wondered why my kids seemed to have unfettered access to their iphones this weekend so i checked the Screen Time and each kids individual App Limits are … gone. gone. like i never set them in the first place.

Apple? how do you do this?

spending the weekend doing inside construction projects and wiring since it’s rainy and cold and that thwarts outside projects.

mobile first is good, but how about watch first?

me: you seem industrious. what are you doing?
her: making quick breads.
me: is that going to take a long time?
her: ಠ_ಠ
me: (doubled over laughing)

the first of hopefully many reckons shared via my blog. i give to you: The Three Uns. https://mikesusz.dev/blog/three-uns/

this is the mondayest tuesday ever

how it’s going. my back was hurting for about half of the weekend so i only got 20 small wheelbarrow loads moved. (my small wheelbarrow has 2 wheels, more stable and less chance of injuring myself more).

using this 4 yards of soil to smooth out a slope in my backyard and fill in where we had some trees removed & stumps ground.

“Jam Up The Pump” would be a very different song. and kinda weird.

@atpfm “goodwill and memories of the old folks in the mac community” - @siracusa

@marcamos blue tape, good call. won’t hurt the paint.

it begins, again.

@irafcummings and the contractors cut corners everywhere they can. doesn't even have a basement. or plumbing.

@marcamos marc

@reybango Rey that’s me … every day.

@revmem i hear ya. i have a very heavy box of ultra wide scsi hard drives that i won’t part with becuase they have my data on them! ehh, when they were in a RAID5, and what multinational terrorist organization has access to the specialized knowledge to try and recover my files from them and get a hold of my old website backups and winamp downloads and apt packages.

@revmem we’ve had a couple days where we used the pellet stove in the morning and ran the AC before bedtime.

@mescutia take advantage of this time! you’ll kick yourself later

happy to finally add some design to my .dev site, since Astro has stabilized and I don’t have to keep rewriting (all my custom theme code) :) https://mikesusz.dev

@sarajw saw when you posted that previously, it’s what spurred me to take the picture. “i bet i could fit a nintendo switch in my (mens) jeans pocket.” yep. unreal.

this is why women are mad. the inequality is real.

@zachleat i only have Scratchy. but he seems to have Bartman and Fallout Boy in jail.

@zachleat ah! i forgot to send this earlier. my son turned my random collection of minifigs into a diorama. he came up with the idea to put Chell halfway through the portal. and there’s little @Una’s twin!

@ivory aha, that was it. i must have toggled that by accident sometime and didn’t notice. thank you!

i am
this many
years old

if my wife looks askance at the presentation of any of her gifts tomorrow i will divulge that i was …

wrapping freestyle

@marcamos my hero

my @ivory on iOS says “links only” when i switch to Home tab and indeed it seems to be only displaying posts with links, and i can’t find anywhere to change this. anyone help?

good nap: you wake up confused about what time it is
great nap: you wake up confused about where you’re at
best nap: you wake up confused about who you are

depression is so fun. when i’m having a good / productive / joyful day i then reflexively think: “oh crap now this is mania” and/or “welp obviously something bad is happening/will happen and i’m unaware and i haven’t been mentally preparing for it constantly”

felt competent today. kinda weird.

@marcamos well i can’t help that one, it’s stuck in the tape deck
