this weekend’s new board game: Tiny Epic Crimes.

Fun 3 player competitive board game. Clever mechanics (as always) from Scott Almes.

Played some Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk as soundtrack music.

I know I’m late to the party but Baldur’s Gate 3 is so refreshingly good.

today in old guy pop , Crowded House has a new album out and it's good. Gravity Stairs is pretty solid dream pop and Neil's voice is sounding better than ever.

Pro tip: when opening a new bottle of Gorilla Glue, make sure you check to see what kind of applicator is on it. I opened mine and was surprised to discover it was a brush type applicator. I nearly glued my hands together and made a nice mess on my work table.

not entirely surprised to see people don't trust MSFT with their new Windows 11 Recall feature. Privacy terrors abound!

robcee,
@robcee@fosstodon.org avatar

@matt agreed! I could see it if turning actions into automation were part of the thing, but I don't think it is, yet. And I certainly don't need my OS watching everything I'm doing all the time.

There are probably undiscovered legal implications to a tool like this. Imagine reading confidential documents and having your OS regurgitate parts of the contents during a routine search of history?

will there be an incognito mode or privacy shield for any of this?

What's wild about this is that it sounds similar to the thing Microsoft just announced and is putting in all Windows computers.

How to Remove Annoying News Widgets From Windows 11 | WIRED

“it's consistently some of the worst rage bait you can find on the internet, as though the 2000s-era MSN homepage had a baby with 4chan.”

agree. Windows 11 “news” is complete garbage.

This new iPad Pro is fantastic. Very happy with it. Except it’s also not a MacBook Air. All this power and this 3 legged OS. Stage Manager is a weak simulacrum of a window manager. Please unify these operating systems.

@shanselman I love them as creative tools but get annoyed by the guard rails. still magical hardware.

"yeah, he was a really great guy, really gave back to the people who worked for him." CBC about a guy who fought to keep minimum wage down so he didn't have to pay people a living wage while raking in billions in oil and gas profits.

@bhearsum yeah, I didn't get it. I guess they felt the need to comment and that was the best they could come up with.
