read a thing about TNG episode Yesterday's Enterprise yesterday (whoa) and getting this really annoying feeling that i should actually re/watch TNG
Now I suppose, said Accolon, she hath made all these crafts and enchantments for this battle.
oh, yeah, i love star wars
gonna start sharing some software tips that help me a lot under #goodsoftware
Listary has a lot of features i find hard to describe; tbh i use only a few. but what i like is that it augments long-ossified Windows UIs like the save-as dialogue to let you save a lot of time and bother
2 features i use:
- click in a file manager window, then in a save-as dialogue, and the latter will instantly flip to the former's current path. great for accessing deeply nested locations
- listary integrates with many programs, so you can just start typing or press alt-space to access it. type a few letters and you're soon at the file/path you seek

Vice's publication Motherboard says that "To Save Net Neutrality, We Must Build Our Own Internet" and will start publishing articles on how to set up decentralized internet infrastructure and start your own ISP.
That's going way beyond traditional journalism. That's really awesome!

Does anyone have any Firefox bugs they'd like fixed?
I've got 2 weeks to dedicate to making FF better - send me a link to the ticket!
i never cared for the idea of opposable thumbs because i don't like to argue
invocation to recite before plucking an eyebrow hair Afficher plus
kinda interesting how when you pluck, shave, clip, exfoliate, and so on you are deciding which bits of organic matter don't get to be part of your gestalt anymore. culling the herd. out with (some of) the old.
i guess i can see whip-crackin', bone-smackin' and undead-whackin' making it through but how on earth did werewolf-jackin'?? https://mastodon.social/media/OVkYSARULuMDoXD7srU
i was browsing someone's twitter and getting annoyed that the top nav followed me down the page, wasting a ton of vertical space
this well-named userscript changes such elements from fixed to absolute so they scroll away like everything else :)

(will have to keep an eye on it to see if it breaks other sites in nasty ways, though)
The high cost of cheap electricity
Canadians are stuck paying for an expensive legacy system of power generation that produces more than the economy can consume.
"There are two important moments," says Hastings-Simon. "One is when you hit the price where wind and solar are cheaper than building new gas or coal plants," she says. "The second milestone is when new renewables become cheaper than operating existing plants."
She says we're reaching that second moment now.

we could solve global warming in like a day if only more people kept their fridges open 24/7 and stopped hoarding the cold molecules
Today I learned about an app called Architecture of Radio. It’s paid, though inexpensive (support your fellow coders ✊🏻). You aim it anywhere except the ground, I learned this the hard way, and it shows you Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, and even satellites. I aimed it at a cluster of buildings by my bus stop. Making the invisible world around us visible is awe-inspiring.

solar holiday lights update
i woke up around 6 a.m. and they were still on, albeit weakly. that was 13 hours. nice!
now the bad. after charging in the windows today i came home about 90 minutes after they'd turn on and found the one with less sun barely shining at all, and the one with more sun lookin pretty weakly too
i guess they were running off factory charge yesterday and i don't get enough sun for daily operation. bummer
