By day, I work in SharePoint/Power Platform development.

For fun, I enjoy fiddling with my #aquarium, riding my #ebike, tinkering around with #HomeAssistant, playing #Factorio, going to #MetalShows, #Grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting.

We have five cats, which are henceforth referred to as The Goblins.

I'm also of the mind that Costco purposefully does not include the size/amount of things on the receipt because they do not want you to easily comparison shop by unit price.

I'm using the default web client on desktop for Mastodon. When I click on Live feeds, I see three options:

  • This server
  • Other servers
  • All

The first and third ones are self explanatory but what is the second? Is this people from servers that our server is friends with?? @jerry

If you don't boost the posts we can't have any Fedi!

HOW CAN WE HAVE ANY FEDI IF YOU DON'T BOOST THE POSTS?!?!

Costco on a Sunday is hell on earth. Everyone has these giant carts, no one knows how to act or where to be. I feel in the way and there's no where to be without feeling in the way. Not great Bob.

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

My Experience as a Juror on a Cold Case Rape Trial

My experience serving as a juror on the 2026 cold case rape trial of Maurice Muhammad in Richmond, VA, where DNA evidence from a 1992 rape kit identified the defendant more than 30 years after the crime.

I'm shocked to discover that #BookWyrm doesn't seem to have an API. I prefer to post my reviews and such on my website first. I'd love to syndicate that programmatically to BookWyrm but nope.
