Proton fucking rocks.

A few years back people would laugh in your face for using Linux to play games. Now I'm playing Starfield & Baldur's Gate 3 on Kubuntu without a care in the world, now just remembering I started making a cup of tea a few hours ago because I got sucked in..

So, those miniature squashes that have appeared at my local supermarket… Are they edible or decorative? 🎃🤔

Double punch to confirm my work VPN 2FA is nice.

Is it possible to go viral on Mastodon yet? For science boost this post for me.

Just learned that Facebook Messenger had AI-generated stickers now.

It's the work week, which means it's time to procrastinate with Gordy and the Monster Moon! It's a bite-sized Zelda-like about a pumpkin astronaut exploring a Halloween moon.

Do you eat breakfast?

And by "breakfast", I mean the first meal of the day, and actual food (coffee, tea, and juice, don't count as food but smoothies do)

UPDATE: We tried something dead simple, and it worked.
1 golden potato
1 small onion
1 egg
1 tsp corn starch
a dash of kosher salt

Shredded the potato and the onion, then wrung the liquid out with a cheesecloth. Stirred in the other stuff, made flat patties, pan fried 'em.

PERFECT.

No, seriously. The result was good enough that we might consider *tweaking* the recipe, but won't make big changes.

Sadly, all further refinements will have to wait until we have potatoes again. Whoops.

Holy shit, Jane Ward is not fucking around!!!

👀 Heyy SwiftUI folks, I haven't been able to use Xcode's view debugger in two years because of a bug that's reproducible in an app that totals 30 lines of code. Am I missing something obvious?

If anyone was considering Kagi (premium search engine) but was put off the limits on number of searches, they dropped that entirely for most- the $10 tier is now just unlimited searches.

$10 for "a Google that actually works" is very worth it to me, though your mileage may vary.

This shmup sale on @steam got me like

I worry that this is the fate of many corporate "going green" initiatives. As deadlines approach, they will just say "Oh that was a problem for reasons beyond our control," refuse to elaborate, and move on same as always.
