Found on Bluesky, and thought I'd share here.

The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food you can make so you don't die

From a co-author;

"I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!"

"Getting rid of physical books because we now have databases is like getting rid of sunshine because of the existence of vitamin-D pills and cod liver oil." --love that.

a cogent plea for keeping physical libraries available:

i've got that AI heidi trailer theme song stuck in my head today

@mike @levisan if you could drastically reduce gov services it might not have the same effect… but reminds me of basic conditions that led to feudal systems historically, except corps would prob be the main landowners instead of local lords

@derek i was wondering what it was like now since brexit! makes me wonder if smuggling happens to avoid the new tariffs and such

slouching like this defeats the ergonomic benefits of the keyboard, you say? maybe, but i'm still typing with my chest open instead of closed, forearm alignment is more relaxed, hands are draped rather than hovering. will def have to watch out for back/neck stiffness of course

slouched split keyboard setup: a "lucky pucker" tripod adapter kit off etsy and some "octopus"-style tripods to mount the moonlander keyboard on. stuffed the tripod legs between the cushions of the chair, adjusted, and presto. (trackpad off to the side on a tablet arm thingy)

I love the whimsy of these apps, and the fact that Mastodon’s API and openness supports the ability to create them. Looking at a community-contributed patch to get them added to the website, too. #retrocomputing #mastodonAPI wedistribute.org/2023/07/masto

found a “dossier” folder-cover notebook prototype i handbound at a brant archives workshop a few years back. i still like the concept!

@freemo @khird @trinsec
@barefootstache hey, wasn't sure where to send this, so apologies if this isn't the place... but does qoto.org not support the elk.zone client? elk is (was) my go-to desktop client for mastodon, but now that i've switched to this instance i can't log in to it. (either says "Can't connect" on the domain autofill UI, or "ERROR: TypeError: Failed to fetch" after. doesn't happen with any of my other instance tester accounts!

looks like trash, but i can now keep working with a cat napping on me!

anyone else had repeated errors trying to log in to elk.zone the last few days?
