So many things are amazing "if used wisely."

That last part is the hardest.

Polls can now be created in individual chats too. Show a curated list of choices to your indecisive friend or recapture the magic of passing a note to your crush by sending a “Do you like me? Y/N/Maybe” poll.

It's scary how much music from the 90s still reflects the political mood today.

Yep, that's the Fugitive #DoctorWho #JoMartin in #BatmanBegins!

Japan made jizai arms for "complex tasks" which makes you into any of the villains with (up to) 6 additional robot arms since they never give that to hero characters ever

got some good work done on You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) today. four way menus and submenus are in now. kind of hard to make a cool screenshot or video showing that off but have a screenshot anyway i guess!

Hey! Did you know that the trans voice training app we worked on as UX/UI lead is out now and you can use it on your phone or in the browser?
https://transvoice.app/

:boost_request: Please boost. If we get enough interest it'll be easier to secure more funding for the project and we can keep working on it. Otherwise our work contract may run out at the end of the month, which would suck

[Yoshi and the Mysterious Book]

Version 1.0.2 has been released.

This update adds support for transferring save data from the recently released demo version.

~Oh, what are we doing?
Why are we here?
Is it for nothing?
Don't be cavalier
Is it obsession?
A deep love spell?
I'm thinking of you now
My dear girl~

I have more to do but the new (to me) QNAP is here and I transferred the RAM & drives over and everything booted up and all my files are safe and Plex started right up.

The RAID is rebuilding so I'll wait for that to finish and then I can get the (internal) static IP done and start moving files off Shuttlecraft.

I am unbelievably happy right now!

Honestly, it makes sense because it's a last-gen console, sales are dropping fast. Spending the money on retooling and revamping production lines in a time of RAM & storage shortages no less... there's no way to recoup the investment.

Is anyone surprised to find out Microsoft / Xbox is using this "opportunity" (ie: massive layoffs) to union bust?

Anyone?

I refuse to support a genocide enabler company like microsoft as a dev and studio:

- We registered to xbox dev portal and received dev kits (start of 2025) but cancelled all and sent them back
- Moved all our git repos from azure dev to a canadian-owned devops platform
- Deleted our MS accounts

I was trying to figure out why one of our multi-practices kept complaining about wifi issues. That they could connect but nothing worked.

Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't. Now, this is a very busy office with lots of patients each day. Four floors all sharing the same network, which is pretty big for us.

I had a regional manager contact me today basically begging for my help because her laptop could connect to wifi, but it said it was offline.

I got her to hotspot her iPhone and got remoted in, checked a few things, all looked good. Had her connect to our wifi and I was able to stay connected somehow. Cool. Checked all settings, all looks good. She got an IP, DNS was working. Laptop had been up for 200 hours, so we rebooted and I dropped.

She confirmed the laptop had come back up and she was able to sign in to Windows and wifi, but had those same messages again. What looked a little strange to me was the IP of the device, and I remembered this location used reserved IPs outside our usual range. So I go looking. The MAC doesn't have a reservation, okay. So I deleted the IP reservation and her laptop got a fresh IP and started working just fine.

Huh. Then I notice DHCP leases that are soft-reserved through... July 14, July 15? That can't be right. Nothing's connected to the IPs that are reserved. What's going on?

8 days?! Who the fuck sets DHCP reservation in a busy 4 floor office to 8 days?!

We finally get Wario Land!

Welp, it has been a little over one year since my partner first tried linux after a lifetime of windows use (and once telling me that she would definitely never be a linux person).

I'm pleased to say that not only is she still using linux, but she has also developed such things as "distro preferences" and "knowledge of terminal commands".

Originally she was going to dual boot, but recently eliminated windows entirely to save drive space for more linux stuff, lol.

I'm very proud of her. :'3
