Only just now getting to the last two episodes of #TLOU. Episode 6 was good, but again, I don't really love the pacing and scene changes from their originals in the game. Still a great show, though.

I haven't used Bluesky in a little over 4 months. Normally I'd be totally willing to set up Bridgy Fed since it's so popular. The problem is that I have a set data retention period for my posts here on Mastodon (at 30 days) and I have no idea if Bridgy Fed will detect that as a standard "delete" and remove it on the other end, as documented: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#delete

I'm also just not sure that it's worth it. I wouldn't really be interacting with people over there.

I had been putting this off so that I could try to download some additional data, but I don't really feel that there's any good way to do so. Anyway, it has been done. 30 days until it's permanent.

I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.
Modern video games are giving kids unrealistic standards of how many swords they can carry at one time.

An update on this: it looks like Spier & Mackay now has a dedicated "tariff exempt" products section. Which is lifesaving news for my sense of style. Unfortunately, the linen hollywood trousers that I was after are not yet in here.

My pet peeve with AI assisted writing is having to read content that the author hasn’t even read themselves.

If you can’t put in the effort to read what you supposedly wrote, why should I?

‘I’ve rewritten the passage to align more with the J. Bree style’ appeared in the middle of a tense scene with a scaled dragon prince.
