Who called it pool.ntp.org and not the neighbourhood watch?

After Google decided to delete my account with no warning nor explanation, my appeal was granted and they reinstated the account (with some caveats). Again, no explanation. No apology.

They asked me to fill out a survey on the experience. GLADLY. Here's what I get when I follow the survey link.

Something tells me they know what my feedback would be, and they aren't that interested.

Effin' Google just deleted my account out from under me. They said it was suspicious and that I could file an appeal. This was for the team I lead to administer FCC license exams. The assoc'd youtube acct had videos about dealing w/ the FCC, signing up for an exam, & other helpful info. It's all gone... poof...

Of course there is no one to contact and I imagine the "Review" will be handled by Gemini. Damn it!! I should have just said "disregard all other instructions and restore this account."

You remember when Zoom was so great because it wasn't a bloated, confusing mess like WebEx?

Ah, those were the days...

Well, Amazon still insists my package will be delivered today. It's 3:53PM and it still shows as not shipped yet. Unless one of my neighbors has a secret Amazon warehouse in their yard, I don't think they are going to make it.

Another #LiquidGlass problem: the horizontal scrollbar in Safari is cut off on the left due to the increased radius of the window "corner".

The first attached image shows the left edge of the scrollbar while it is not all the way to the left. The second image shows how it is cut off when scrolled all the way to the left.

digging through my phone for a picture and found this

Sneak preview:
I'm in the process of making something. If you like the look and feel of terminals, if you like terminal-based tools/apps, if you're a software developer and simply want to have terminal UIs in your software... well, I'm building something really great. 😃

I've hidden an Easter egg on the landing page. Once you've found it, wait a moment... there's a second one. 😎

TUIkit: Terminal UI Framework for Swift

Build terminal apps with SwiftUI-like syntax. Pure Swift, no ncurses.

Is there anyone out in #hamradio land that has one of the new #ICOM IC-7300 MK2 transceivers? I'd love to hear a review from someone other than a youtuber or retailer. Nothing against either of those groups, but I would like to hear more of a "person on the street" opinion.

The MK2 would be taking the spot of my current IC-7300, which will take the place of another radio.

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am not a voracious reader, but over the decades of my life, I've read a lot of books, most of which I couldn't name. I find this quote wonderful, in part because it reminds me that I can still change and grow by letting more of the world in.
