What's voodoo about voodoo seasoning man it's just cayenne and something

@jerry I'll scrounge for half-priced ones in January, maybe get some cheap albeit with random flop movie branding. The AI works but it sounds like Betelgeuse.

Bangor Daily News published an obviously inauthentic Republican astroturfing job in their Opinion section. Like someone was handed a Susan Collins campaign speech and told to call it a letter from a random "contributor." 🤮

All devices for friends and fam that rely on a tech caregiver should have a prominent HELP button that takes a screenshot, saves it in a designated local directory, and emails it to the caregiver (or tries to). One step, one button press.

The eschaton can't happen until I understand when to add square brackets in configure.ac. It's one of those weird things in Revelations.

""Failed idea" gives modules too much credit."

"I don't care until they stop pretending Unicode doesn't exist."
