  4. Would honestly prefer to give whoever needs it (this morning, an optometry office) a social security number equivalent and my public-persona handle rather than 1) the name I go by (which happens to be my middle name) and 2) my last name-including-how-to-spell-it, and then 3) disambiguating that from my full legal name, which has a different first name as well as a suffix

    the full ritual as we perform it is too close to a cultural conflict and wildly inefficient. let me give you a guid

  6. Thanks to discord’s hokey use of a command for command-K, officially “Find or Start a Direct Message" per their docs, I am always constantly narrowly avoiding direct messaging someone I do not know who has the last name of Jerke who I assume also idles in an open source community server I idle in, when I try to switch to the chat I made for talking about anything but games on my friend’s gaming-oriented community server which they immediately renamed and locked to #jerk_factory for me

  7. 18th book of 2024: “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore”, by Robin Sloan ( https://www.robinsloan.com/books/penumbra/).

    Figure 1. Link preview of https://www.robinsloan.com/books/penumbra/, "Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore".

    Fun, light, very quick read. Very weird to read something so connected to ~2012-techie-San-Francisco (I was here by then) and get 100% of the references (and roll my eyes at a few w/ 12 years of hindsight).

    The paperback cover “Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore”, by Robin Sloan, as I read it. Nine rows of yellow blocks stamped alternating between four or five stacked on their back and four or five upright like books on a shelf but leaning left or right at random. The title and “A Novel” and author name are in hand written script over the entire front.

  8. I think if cars and car parts were stollen at the rates bikes are in U.S. cities, deployed technical controls would look a lot more like off-site valet parking than like racks on the sidewalk, and the compensating control would look a lot more like car insurance than like adding the car to your home insurance policy, and nothing at all like whatever the latest video from some guy in NYC posting how to use three specific locks in very specific ways

    I kind agree w/ the haters on this one but maybe not very strongly?

Four rows of five moons line the cover in gold: crescent, waxing, full, waning, crescent. Alternating left and then right waning first, then waxing moons have silhouettes of faces instead of earth-shadows.
