the smallest monarch butterfly caterpillar ive ever seen, about the size of a grain of rice, omg

just found out that toads are a social construct

no more chrome updates for macos 12, and by extension the last good apple laptops 🥲

thankfully, firefox (which i was already using anyways) supports as far back as 10.15, so i won't have to learn how to use linux or oclp for a while yet.

yes i have an m1 air, it's weird and big 😓

also completely ruins one-off contact changes to make like "dumbass" or "satisfactory small woman" or whatever show in blue for the recipient..

one of the silliest macos behaviors is whenever i edit the contact for someone i talk with a lot on imessage, it freezes the app with 100% cpu for like minutes?

like is it updating every message with their new details or something?? is there not just a global contact field for the whole chat???

completely missed this earlier, the "keiki paste" had also triggered it to make another set of flowers and one of them
has two lips??

anyways don't buy these, they're arguably apple's worst laptop of the last couple decades and the 11" is much cuter, better, faster, stronger etc

i mailed this thing to my friend in february but it got eaten by her country's customs and then i got another one last month and am about to repeat the same actions hoping for a different outcome

why does the iphone 7 have chips called homer and maggie

finally checked out some other stuff from this author (Linnea Sterte), she's so cool, idk why i didn't sooner??

so far ive read "world heist" and "a garden of spheres" and would highly recommend both. very very pretty, interesting world building, a bit confusing.

also available as PDFs on her patreon, which i really really appreciate as a Laptop Guy

btw, here's the progress on the purple and white phalaenopsis duplication. it seems to have decided to make like five plants??

it'll be a while until these are ready

it's finally ready to pot! the roots grew up very quickly once they got started

thank you again to the apple cve generator known as storagekitd

(dw, just more nonsense, i will not find any serious bug)

my eyes teared up spontaneously (bc allergies or whatever) and it tricked me into feeling sad for a moment until i realized i was being tricked

took apart my friend's compaq armada 1700 (1998 laptop) yesterday, super impressed bc all screws are t8 torx of the same length, fully interchangeable.

never seen it before, i don't think even framework is doing that yet? i love it

is there a sane way to set an "accent color" on macos 26 but keep the classic light-blue folders?

ive been doing this, which works but feels very dumb..

defaults write -g AppleIconAppearanceTintColor Other
defaults write -g AppleIconAppearanceCustomTintColor '0.356 0.782 0.971 1.0'

my dad's nominally 5 cup rice cooker can properly cook 6 cups, nice

there aren't even any other flies in sight at the moment. possibly killed the only fly in the house with my iPhone SE 2016 (Rose Gold, 64 GB, iOS 15.8.7)

threw my phone onto my bed from a few feet away (as one does) and it somehow squished a fly in the process? what the hell
