  • I canceled my Target card and told them it was because of this bullshit. And yeah Walmart’s been on my list for a long time. Running out of places to shop.

    Between Target and my local grocery doing anti-union bullshit, I just started shopping at Costco even though I’m only shopping for 1. So far so good, other than the whole “guess this is what I’m eating for the next 15 meals straight”. But I’m lucky to even have a Costco very close by.

    We do what we can, but some people just don’t have a lot of options realistically.



  • Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out. Most of my AHK scripts are simple, not really macros, just adding toggles to keys or remapping stuff, like putting mouse buttons on a keyboard key, or remapping WASD to ESDF for games that don’t support key remapping. I messed around with some key remappers for Linux about 9 months ago but I couldn’t find anything that worked well in the game I was playing (Dyson Sphere Project). That’s almost certainly due to my ignorance. I really need to learn python.




  • I spent a lot of time in the car crossing the U.S. in the 80’s and 90’s so I saw a LOT of McDonalds. Most of them are bog standard but once in a while you come across one like this where they spiced it up. I’ve seen one with a train engine out front, one with a parked airplane, etc. There’s one in Tucson with a giant T-Rex statue in front of it. I’ve also seen some crazy play places with slides going out of the building and back inside. Would’ve loved that when I was a kid.




  • When you switch and realize how much better it is than Windows, and you can rest easy knowing your own OS isn’t spying on you or stealing your data, it tends to make you a little bit of an evangelist.

    Installing the popular Linux distros today is easier than Windows XP was, and it’s arguably easier than Windows 11. It definitely asks you less questions and doesn’t require you to change 30 different settings from the defaults.

    Linux has come a long way from my first install of CentOS on a server in the mid 00’s. You had to be pretty dedicated to run linux successfully back then, but these days it’s cake.
