And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

#1979 #Palmer gone 20 years
A pretty face don't make no pretty heart
I learned that, buddy, from the start
You think I'm cute, a little bit shy
Momma, I ain't that kind of guy
Robert Palmer would be 77

Denmark sends more troops to Greenland amid tensions with Trump aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/20/d…

The enshittification of computer repair is happening.

AI has amazingly managed to make repairable computers practically worthless.

The increase in memory and storage pricing is destroying the second-hand market for computing hardware and this makes me sad. I watched a video from someone that runs a repair shop, and this is what's happening:

The memory/storage alone is worth more than the rest of the computer, so people are stripping them out to sell separately.

The second hand market is now flooded with computers that have no memory or storage. Buying new memory or storage to put in these used computers is now more expensive than buying a new computer.

So we now suddenly have a giant e-waste problem PLUS a giant problem for repair shops that want to stay in business.

In the video, he was basically saying that they have to pivot to the only computers that folks aren't stripping RAM and storage out of - computers that have those things soldered on. The irony here is that repair shops now have to ignore the most repairable computers and focus on the least repairable computers instead.

Many of you in the Fedi have seen @pluralistic posting his thoughts, often in the form of long threads. His thinking has always been sound, and in the one direct interaction I've had he strikes me as an overall good egg. Here's an opinion piece from him that's well worth reading - grounded in reality through and through:

How to get the Aviaries Passepartout in MIO: Memories in Orbit

The vast majority of the ship in MIO: Memories in Orbit will initially be closed off. You’ll need to explore the Vessel to open locked doors from the other side, or in the case of the Aviaries, you’ll have to find keys or items to unlock them.

Big platform social media broke our brains. One way is that it used to be that the "global town square" was *the internet* and we understood that. It was the "information superhighway," and it described a vast, decentralized network, not a single, private platform. But the youth lost the old ways.
RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:xgvzy…


Bluesky isn't trying to become a viable alternative for the "Global Townsquare", it's trying to build a POC for a protocol so we don't have to shove everyone into the same space with the same rules. It isn't competing. It's building a new way.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 23 September 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

So I'd stay up all night, I'd started to plunk out writing songs. My mother would get up in the morning, and she's like, 'Don't worry, my son, God has a plan.' And she'd talk to herself, she'd mumble. And she'd walk away, 'oh jesus, I hope so...' I'd go, 'Mom, what's the matter?' She'd say, 'You wouldn't understand. I'm just feeling old. Just feeling old.' So she'd talk to herself. So I think that's probably where, 'Talking to myself and feeling old' came from…
