sd wave's cage got rattled

It's not a secret that Google isn't the apple of our eye (there's a reason why we don't make any money from search deals with them) but yesterday's announcement about the changes coming to Google Search are plain depressing for the web as we know it. What started as a joke (the famous "It's not AI" video with @jon), is starting to feel dystopian at this point.

Anyway. Swimming against the current is exhausting, but the fight for a better web is more important than ever. And as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope. 🔥 So we'll keep resisting: no opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. ✊

Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.

Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.

Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.

Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.

local news saying the smoky smell is from "the santa rosa island fire." i don't doubt that's true but it makes no sense to me how it's being blown all the way to inland san diego county. santa rosa island is the middle island off of ventura. the wind should be blowing any smoke away from san diego according to this wind map.
kids being led out through crowds of cops with their weapons drawn. reported active shooter at a mosque per sdpd. 😢🙏🕌
oof. every single cop in san diego county at the 805 and balboa. :( something bad going down.
i didn't see a step the other day and i kicked it. broke my big toe and dislodged the toenail. same toenail that i broke off about 20 years ago and it never did heal right. maybe this time it will. ouch.
oh good - back at the top of the table! #NWSL #MakeWaves
