I snagged @cmdrtaco.bsky.social if that’s your jam. It was ‘nice’ to discover that I’m now irrelevant enough that nobody bothered squatting my nick. I continue to use @CmdrTaco.federated.press on mastodon primarily since I’m pretty done here.

You would be very correct. I don’t know if I was ever more proud of our whole team. Everyone stepped up.

The fact that my Apple Music in 2024 can't keep the 'last played' and 'plays' variables synced between my phone and my desktop is pretty pathetic.

I have listened to ~400 episodes of the empire podcast and hundreds more spoiler specials, and I was this many years old when I found out what @jamescdyer looks like while watching the 4 hour Aliens Expanded documentary. Now awaiting @HelenLOHara & @ChrisHewitt.

Thank you @tekwendell for existing. Your videos always seem to answer my questions whatever I’m researching, even if those answers are beyond my budget… damn I really want to build a thread ripping 100tb monster in my basement….

Geeks in Space did our usual thing, playing 1D Pac-Man, witness feats of Tetris, Mickey’s Release, food fraud, everyone needs a copilot key, and npm’s everything oops.

Today on geeks in space we wished Woz well, took our own non binding codes of conduct, armchair optimized AAA gaming, discussed chimeric monkeys, and the only one of us who has seen The Marvels… liked it!.
