Watching my @frameworkcomputer Framework 12 make its way across the globe to me is so exciting!

Apparently the no tax on tips applies to YouTube streamers? (making up to 150k and some other caveats) https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/youtube/no-tax-on-tips-apparently-also-applies-to-your-favorite-streamer-182932748.html

I'm not sure that's what people had in mind when supporting this.

Sure am glad it warmed up again in time for me to unload the 450lbs of art supplies from the pallets outside. Play your tiniest violin for me please.

2 years ago today that we were handed the keys to a #fountainpen store.

This seems pretty bad. Is it not pretty bad?

Google will require developer verification to install #Android apps

sheening #fountainpen ink as opsec -- it's really hard to shoulder surf anything being written in LAMY Violet Blackberry with that blinding gold sheen.

Please open to the page in your Podcaster's Bible that says thou shalt re-insert old episodes (as "classics" or "best of" or whatever) in your feed in order to maintain consistent regular content. Now rip that page out and burn it to ashes, then flush the ashes. Thank you.

This... is a very good question: "If everyone on the Supreme Court is getting seven-figure book deals, who will be left to judge publishing-related cases?"

Anybody know any cool cases that fit the Kobo H2O Aura 2 #ereader? Wading through all the mislabeled junk on Amazon is a lot of work to buy from a place I don't want to buy from.

Finished "Prophet Song" by Paul Lynch. What an amazing horrible #book I will never read again. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job at making you feel like you're RIGHT THERE -- being a parent in an evolving secret police state, then escalating civil war zone, then dealing with faceless corrupt bureaucracy and human traffickers. The prose is "moving" almost in the Charles Olson Projective Verse sort of way.

Already sick of big company customer service blaming "the AI" for their screwups that have nothing to do with AI (just involved...a computer).

I really hate when I have to type "killall orca".

Currently ordering some notebooks that are hardback but the name of their size is paperback. Not happy about it.
