Had just scanned the last page of a magazine... when the desktop crashed. 300-odd pages.
Rebooted... Simple Scan had autosaved! But it crashed when I scrolled to the end. Never seen it do that before.
Reopened it, told it to export the files. It got to Page 302 before crashing again, which was better than I could have hoped - I only had to rescan 20 pages or so. Phew!

šØIf you live in the U.S., please call your Democratic Senators now.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Donāt let them pivot to reconciliation. Republicans donāt need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Here is the alt-text description for the image:
A rectangular sign with a white background and dark blue trim reads "Church of Morongo" in a stylized font at the top, along with a small dove graphic and a cross. Below, in larger, blocky black letters, is the question "IS THE LORD YOUR DADDY?". The sign is mounted on a dark background.

12 March 1939 | A French Jewish boy, Roger Portigheis, was born in Nice.
He arrived at #Auschwitz on 20 December 1943 in a transport of 850 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among 505 people murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

: why does this boy look like a girl?
Have you perhaps mixed up this picture with the toddler (born on 24 January 1943) shown in mastodon.world/@auschwitzmuseuā¦ ?
Why does victims.auschwitz.org/victims?ā¦ return "... the person you were looking for was not found"?

Question I enjoyed musing about today was do I, as a viewer of Severance, treat Mark S/cout as 2 separate characters when regarding his innie and outie?
And I have to admit to *not*. But with the rest of the severed workers I do. It's really strange that I don't, but I can't explain why and also why it took me until now to realise this. Brains, eh? =D
WiFi 7 on the Pi 5 is fun ;)

#nowwatching Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
I've been waiting ages to see this as I thought the Mrs would join me as she's a bit smitten with that Christopher Hemsworth. However, she recently decided that she doesn't like him with that prosthetic nose.
Therefore, I finally get to enjoy another slice of apocalyptic action. Can it match the awesomeness of Fury Road?
I didn't like Fury Road the first time I watched it, fell asleep in the cinema. Was the company I kept.
Though, when I watched it again with Jonathan, I liked it a bit more. Fell in love with Furiosa right away though, bad nose job was a bit distracting for the start of the movie =)

Basically, they set up their merchant account with a merchant name that is literally, "If you do not recognize the seller, please contact.." hoping you don't notice all the other wrong details. But this does get them a legit email with a digital signature signed by the real paypal.com, which they forward to you.

I was slightly alarmed to receive an email from my director at work with the subject line "Shooting at [name of my employer here]"
Only upon opening it did I realize she was emailing about a crew that wants to film a documentary on campus.

The most underrated skill in tech engineering is the ability, or maybe the *willingness*, to be an idiot. Sometimes the best way to debug a problem is to forget everything you think you know and re-test the most basic things from ground zero. Sometimes the only way to design a good interface is to look at what you've made through eyes that have no idea what they're looking at. You know too much. Your users don't know anything. Be a user. If you can't be a user how can you make a thing users want
No, I can't either.
The problem with my father-in-law is that he's spent the last 30 years very frustrated that everyone he knows, including his age peers, uses computers and smartphones but he simply can't figure them because the model doesn't match his expectations of how machines work.
It's exasperating because I literally don't know how to teach someone to use a computer without teaching them the UI model, but I do understand not wanting to know that stuff if all you want to do is send an email.
From the other end of the spectrum, back in late 80s I was showing a young adult, just not computer savvy, how to send an email.
As per best practices, I had them touching the computer, with me explaining and pointing. It felt very much like an acoustic modem down-negotiating speed as I had to find their level of familiarity.
"Move the mouse to click the envelope" didn't make sense.
I had to go back to explain horizontal X-Y plane mapping to vertical xy motion on screen.

in reply to Ben • • •there's quite a quick switch in that show when I'm like, oooh Twin Peaks type weirdness and WTAF happened to everything.

I also enjoyed Persons Unknown at roughly the same time, had the same vibes for a bit too, but only sadly lasted one season.
