I understood the appeal of #Minecraft but never got into the game until my daughter started playing. But man, when you finally dig real deep and find veins of gold and red stone on your own it's like...
I get it now... I totally get it.
@Mainebot Honestly? If you didn't watch it when you were 17, I can't really imagine bothering with it now.
@Mainebot Noooooooooo. You don't.
This country is so fucked I can't believe it.
gnome really hit the file chooser dialog middle age with the one that
- doesn't let you edit the path at all
- runs a recursive search when you type anything instead of selecting an entry
- has basically no right click menu on entries
When you and your wife were central figures to a scene and not a single person reaches out about a reunion beyond a single Facebook invite, you really learn where you stand...
There's something exhilarating about turning on the dishwasher and thinking, "I sure hope I got all of the pieces back in the right place..."

Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.

Trying to get my "To Read" list in order so I don't rush out and buy the same pile of books currently sitting next to my nightstand.

Need to get some reports done for work, study for a midterm, clean the mess next to my desk... oh, #Ubuntu 18.04 came out...
Guess I'm going to spend the day backing up my systems and re-installing.
@patdavid That's wonderful. She's got a great eye!📸
@ajroach42 I don't disagree. Would love to see more of that. But overall it's a small subset.
Where it could make a real impact is IoT. Start replacing all those single use easily cracked devices.
