#ShowerThoughts: one simple way to reduce the flood of #eWaste would be to say to vendors, you can't sell new computers (including anything that runs an OS) in our country without a 10 year full replacement guarantee, or more. That way hardware companies would have an incentive to make devices that last, and provide at least 10 years of software updates.

I've kept desktops and laptops running for about 10 years. It requires a lot of preventative maintenance and often replacing the OS with GNU/Linux, but it can be done with existing hardware. There's no technical reason hardware companies can't supply that level of durability for all computers sold.

Possibly dumb late-night idea: adding a 'share icon' emoji to the spec so I can just plop in a Unicode character and then Android can show the less-than sign with dots and Apple can show the square with the arrow thing.

Mesquite smoked baba ghanouj, lacto fermented cherry tomatoes in a brine of basil, garlic, and oregano, salad of home grown kale and basil and local pea micro greens dressed with olive oil and the aforementioned brine, and a Babybel light cheese wheel.

Fort Worth: Don’t praise Betsy for her press release. Dallas just went through this. She’s had ample time to learn from their fuckups. You’d have to be an idiot to give anything less than the press release she gave. #AtatianaJefferson #SayTheirNames

Unpopular opinion: alternative music now sucks because because what was alternative when we grew up is now just regular rock and what was regular rock when we grew up is now classic rock and what was classic rock when we grew up is now oldies and what was oldies when we grew up is still terrible and hate worthy.

Sesame Street, a show created for public access television to help kids from low-income families learn to read and write, is being put being a paywall which will prevent the kids who most need it from accessing it.
The past 50 seasons are also included in that so they can't be streamed anywhere else.

Fuck capitalism.

Pirate Sesame Street.
