spent 3 hours on transit to pickup a "no power" 2014 macbook air which works perfectly after cleaning the (visibly corroded) touchpad cable. this sucks lol

@aronia the russian guy i keep dipping in paint:

question for the chemists: is silicone like a science word or is it equivalent to calling plastic "carbone"

anyone have opinions on whether a google pixel 3a would likely be suitable for an iphone 6 enjoyer? on paper it looks almost the same size and shape, but i've never seen one irl. (or any other android phone recommendations for such a person? specifically: similar size, touch id, single back camera, non-glass back, possible to replace the screen and battery at minimum..)

there should be a certain threshold of sleepy where im allowed to put my head on the guy next to me on the bus..

@cwebber im hopelessly biased by that pic captioned "kiki's delivery service/bouba's removal service"

@siguza ohh lol, it didn't even cross my mind to just kill -STOP/-CONT instead of lldb but ofc that would've worked!

noticed too late that the disk used by a very slow recursive wget was nearly full, quickly paused wget in lldb so i'd have time to make more space.. it resumed cleanly, saving me several days of re-downloading. super dumb, but a thrilling experience. lol

@siguza you either die while Tim Cooks, or live long enough to see Tim Cooked. or something

still an enormous fan of the laptop itself, btw!!

this no-name aliexpress keyboard cover was always a little yucky and has already disintegrated to the point of unusability after a year. replaced with a navy-blue one from "mosiso" which has good reviews and feels considerably nicer. fingers crossed 😅

dreamed i was romantically involved with a blonde, more feminine, slightly shorter version of myself. wtf was that about

..unless the penguin was the zeroth child ?

laptop screw fell out again and i still haven't bought glue so im back on the "using green nail polish as adhesive" grindset

@jwz @mwichary thanks for the answer! that's incredibly annoying.

my machine (headless, always on, used intermittently on vnc, has external drives) is somehow immune to the second issue, but i don't doubt that it's real. now im nervous 😓

@jwz @mwichary genuine question, what's wrong with sequoia? i have it on one machine and noticed ~no differences from sonoma. tahoe obviously is a different story
