this is not the setup to a joke, this is a genuine question: do you own one of those honey dipper grooved utensils? 🍯🐝

(if yes, feel free to elaborate. does it make dishing out honey easier, was it an impulse purchase, part of a kitchen set, or something else?)

@samhenrigold @SuricrasiaOnline Nice! Depending on how far back you want to go, I might consider Clarus the Dogcow towards the upper-middle, and I've always enjoyed the story about how early Apple accidentally designed the Disk II to work with factory reject drives (the "SA390"): apple2history.org/history/ah05

@samhenrigold It's been the year of the Linux desktop for me every year since 2004. 🥰

I can accomplish my work on it, do some media consumption, etc.

'morning Mastodon. Today I'm thinking about how grateful I am. Specifically, how grateful I am that a video exists of Travis Scott falling off the stage with an autotuned yelp.

Oh I also remember that video of Justin Bieber puking and singing at the same time. Truly superhuman.

Life is crazy, man. Two years ago, I was in high school. Now, the best part of my day was discovering nice hardware in a home I cannot afford on Zillow.

Anyway take a gander at this lovely builtin closet thing.

@samhenrigold a part of me still wants interfaces to go back to this old more realistic style. BLESSED

Григорий Клюшников

I'm surprised it runs at all on something this modern. I also want skeuomorphic, non-"clean" UIs full of affordances back. So definitely blessed.

links break in a weird way with a release this old so you can totally use it as a regular web browser if you want.

unsplash needs a filter for "realistic, large depth of field, sorta-ugly camera roll images". I've been using this as my defacto placeholder image since it's the only one I've found that isn't glossy people having generic fun in a meadow.

“Wow, what a great day of announcements” has quickly become my favorite passive-aggressive remark.

why is the Bloomberg terminal UI screaming at me. even the mousepad is crying for help.

The Alvin and the Chipmunks cover of Party Rock Anthem once reached #36 on the Billboard charts. I will never forgive this country for that.

You know what? I have a drivers license. I'm a working man. I'm gonna get an ice cream cone. Right here, right now. It's 10PM on a Friday in February and nobody can stop me. THIS is what the American dream is about; what the fountain fathers died for.
