That’s my thought too. The Vision Pro is more Newton than anything it’s compared to today. I’m sure that there will be echoes of it in some piece of tech in the next 10-15 years, but it’s not the right device for the right time right now for most people.

Those are pretty solid and bold colors.

Oh believe me I’m trying. I will usually cross-post things I’m selling, but I don’t get anywhere near the interest I’m my 104,000 person statistical area.

I am so upset that FB killed Craigslist, that is basically the only reason I use it regularly anymore. My feed has basically been taken over by right wing influencer bots otherwise.

🔫 Always has been

Look at how often grindr crashes during right wing events. It’s already political, maybe just not in the back end.

I just set up a Asus ZenWifi BE14000 to replace an old eero setup. I like it so far and haven’t experienced anything weird. I liked that it didn’t gate all the traffic shaping, new user notifications, and security behind a subscription paywall.

I’ll give you a heads up that site has some “interesting“ stuff if you start at the top level, but the A-to-Z listing and individual games pages seem to be pretty solid and are well formatted.

Dice-play.com is a really good resource. We play a lot of farkle (older scoring, not the commercial version), and Yahtzee, but lately we’ve been playing Ship, Captain, Crew; Knockout; and Centennial with the kids.

Nice! What game?

It occurs to me as well that the “completeness” of this amused me too.

• 1 tin
• 1 ~$5 package of dice
• 1 print
• 1 pencil from IKEA, your local golf course or wherever
• 1 pocketmod printout of games sized to fit the tin (a work in progress)

No spare parts, it’s all complete.

It’s not that we play a specific game that needs 10 dice, but I find that I can accommodate a whole lot of games if I have 10 dice. I originally thought of doing six because that would cover up through Farkle and then Yahtzee could come along for the ride, but then I realized that if I threw all the dice in the package in there, I could expand the optional games; or even support running multiple games separately.

If I had 2 extra we could even play Bunco. So it was more that it fit and opened up a bunch of options.

I use kobo because I have a kobo reader and you can import any epub into their app and it will work great. Otherwise I like Yomu, it’s got a nice and clean interface.

It’s still more feature rich than Nano, with things like macros and multi-file search/replace from the command line though since I started using it, Nano has taken up some of the slack.

I was unfamiliar with wordtsar, that’s amazing.

While I can use Emacs and Vim (adequately enough) I really feel in love with Joe back when I was first learning Unix.

(I did have a phase where I used WordStar and VisiCalc long after they were surpassed by others.)

No one even uses Vim anymore, you should just switch to Wordpad. It’s far superior cause you can type in bold and italics.

Minneapolis and St Paul (Cross-River sister cities, St Paul is the State Capital) both have mayoral elections on November 4, 2025. The one you’ve been seeing mentioned more likely is the Minneapolis one where the DFL (State Democratic Party) endorsed a candidate for the first time in a bit and it was the challenger to the incumbent Democratic candidate, so it’s been in the news.
