Have you ever looked at a festively decorated fir tree, and thought to yourself, "I want to eat that"?

First of all you're a weirdo and I love you.

Second, you can now have that flavor in potato chip form. boingboing.net/2018/10/10/pota

Can anybody think of any good reasons why microwave doors open to the side unlike every single other cooking appliance?

Gaming, accessibility, boneheadedness, Ubisoft. 

@orrery It gets better. Subtitles default to being off, and even when switched on, there are no subs on anything said by random folks on the street or people who are shouting at you or basically any non-plot dialogue.

Ubisoft, get your shit together.

So... roast garlic cloves in butter and olive oil for an hour at 200C, get garlic confit.

Roast garlic cloves in butter and olive oil for 90 minutes at 200C, get...

... it's not confit.

It's super-flavor garlic snack puffs drenched in garlic butter.

This is the worst possible outcome. Now I have roast garlic spread AND two pounds of garlic snack puffs!

Gaming, accessibility, boneheadedness, Ubisoft. 

Watching @orrery play _Assassin's Creed: Origins_ so here are my non-spoiler non-gameplay-related thoughts:

• Why is there no way to make text larger? Not everyone is possessed of flawless eyesight and a 72" monitor.

• Why can't I even get a consistent 30 FPS at the lowest visual settings on a Radeon RX 580? Oh, the game's CPU-bound—

• Why would you make a game this CPU-bound at a time when CPU speeds have plateaued?

• Ooh, pretty bird.

Brunch with @IceWeasel and @KoBunny was nifty. Now to dive into InDesign for the afternoon! (Don't worry, I'm waiting an hour before I swim.)

"The user manual contains some significant errors. Most of these are due to last minute changes to achieve a greater degree of compatibility with IBM's implementation of MS-DOS (PC DOS). This includes the use

it's always kind of interesting when you encounter a fossil trace of someone's Giant Mistake as it happened.

Java is stored in the beans.

Shit pony and bird say, LoZ:ALttP edition. 

Whilst playing a randomized (Retro mode) Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past run with @orrery in audience:

Me: "Gonna buy some keys."

Them: "Support your local businesses."

Me: "Hyrule Keymakers Union #546."

Them: "It's a good job. But dangerous, you know. Someone has to fill all those chests."

medical, spicy hot IP take 

Bodily autonomy should override intellectual property in all cases. If it can be shown beyond reasonable doubt that a piece of tech is essential to your continued survival (e.g. pacemakers, artificial hearts, insulin pumps), then you should be the only one who gets to say who can and can't audit its software and read the full technical documentation. The ability to access it yourself shouldn't be something you can waive by signing any contract, it should be fundamental and non-negotiable.

Note to self: In the morning, update profile to credit Dana Simpson for the portrait in my avatar icon thingy, perhaps post the full piece.

Also, see if she's on Mastodon anywhere....
