Statuses

I bought a CD on eBay. It just arrived in an Amazon box, with a gift receipt, along with six metal rings — evidently for horse bridles — also with gift receipts.

The only possible explanation is that the eBay seller didn’t even possess the CD. They sent it as a gift to me from Amazon, and added the 75¢ rings to hit the free shipping minimum.

And I paid way more on eBay than I would have on Amazon.

HTML and CSS mostly use American spellings (`color` vs `colour` for instance), which is partly why `aria-labelledby` — whose double “l” is “rest of the English-speaking world”-ian — always confuses me. I’m always writing `aria-labeledby`.

Sometimes Meg Baird comes on unexpectedly and I remember how much I absolutely adore her https://megbaird.bandcamp.com/album/cross-bay

Almost went to the theater to see The Substance again on a big screen tonight, having already seen it in September, it’s that good.

[normal person, posting to Mastodon] “I just discovered XYZ, it’s so great!”

[all of Mastodon, in a single resounding chorus] “Oh, you shouldn’t be using XYZ.”

ABBA are so fucking good

Is there any Mastodon-like ActivityPub software that auto-fetches replies from unfollowed accounts? I’d love to just host my own instance, but I hate that it means you don’t see so much content. Does #GoToSocial do this?

“eBay” is such a great name because it’s like a bay, but electronic

I might buy a Steam Deck JUST so I can play Portal again. Unless anybody knows how to get it running on a Mac.

I had no idea the “Goonies™ ‘R’ Good Enough” music video was a whole-ass movie — with a part 2! https://ww.youtube.com/watch?v=VhPujiA9BRY

There appears to be a viral copypasta going around Discord saying that Discord’s email has been compromised and that phishing emails are being sent from their real email servers, signed with DKIM and SPF etc.

I’m really skeptical that this is true; I don’t see any news stories about this. Anybody know anything about this?

There are few thrills like finding an un-Shazamable song

Just want to re-recommend this amazing Mac app, Music MiniPlayer, which recreates the old brushed-metal iTunes floating miniplayer. Such a delight, it’s free but I’m gonna “Buy him a coffee” now because I just opened it and smiled. https://marioaguzman.github.io/musicminiplayer/
