Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

@edwiebe It is a little weird to me though that web names has big cheesy corporate pr photos of customers endorsing it.

@edwiebe Thanks. I'm with Namecheap and have been happy with them but they are just a numbered Canadian company run by the us based parent co. I spot checked 6 or 8 on that list and webnames is my current winner.

It's a relatively minor thing, but I probably should move to a Canadian domain name registrar. Any suggestions?

Two episodes in to Spider Noir. Cage was made for this. (and well, he made it)

Two thumbs up, thus far.

Told the financial advisors the other day to sell off positions in a few tech companies and to never buy into any of the big ai promoters. (Gave a them the list of ai brain rot companies, in case it wasnโ€™t clear to them)

These werenโ€™t a significant portion of our retirement egg but it matters.

Why do my Apple devices always think my focus mode is sleep? Even if itโ€™s my phone with motion sensors that has been wobbling around in my pocket all day?

@TrueNorthSpice if I have the time to draw a bath, a hot soak helps mine too.

If I have the time? Iโ€™m retired! Maybe I mean if I have the will to overcome inertia.

@TrueNorthSpice My better half will kick me out of bed if I enter it in thrash-about mode. A robax will usually calm the legs. Glad it is an infrequent thing.

For a number of years now, I get a sporadic random bill from AWS for $0

Yes, all the headers and links in the email look legit.

I no longer have an AWS account. Deleted it aeons ago. There doesn't appear to be any way to tell Amazon to stop sending these.

All attempts lead to โ€ฆ log in to your account first, or recover your account then log in.

I havenโ€™t any account. Recovery of nothing resulted in nothing (except more $0 bill notices).
