ICE is increasingly a systematized child abuse agency. Wonder what share of ICE agents have prior records when it comes to terrorizing their own kids.

Ok the scroll wheel on my M590 is now broken so I had to order a new mouse. I'm now using KDE Connect to scroll instead and it works great 👀
Unfortunately double click doesn't really work...
2025 mood continuing in 2026.
Just replaced the battery of my aging M1 macbook air. That was quite annoying but the new one should be good for another 4-5 years now I hope. Obviously, I have four leftover screws even though I was sure I didn't forget anything and none of them fit into the last hole of the chassis backplate. Oh well, worth saving the 50 Euro and the trip to the next apple store ;)

Hi, I’m Michael, Storm’s human. I’m a graphic designer, musician, and student working toward my bachelor’s in graphic design marketing. I made this page to share more of my life, not to sell my work. I rescued three kittens: Storm, Bubby, and Princess Bubblegum. (In that order of photos too) I’ll share their stories soon. If you want to see my art, find me under Ambient Wolf. Thanks for the warm welcome.
Goodmorning! My name is michael this is Storm :) we are leaving tiktok and starting our new journey here with you guys! I have three cats to introduce! So be ready!
Thinking about programmers losing their coding skills because of their reliance on AI tools made me wonder if there was some other industry where heavy automation led to concerns over loss of skills. And yes, there is: airplane pilots.
They train manual flight maneuvers regularly to preserve pilot skills, because when the automation fails is precisely when you need a skilled operator.

Who knew changing your home wifi is so troublesome. Now I have to factory reset a whole bunch of devices like the aquarium camera, the smart doorbell, the oven because they don't have the interface for changing the wifi network and password.

Got a partner (and or kids) who doesn't care about your nerdy #FOSDEM adventures, send them on a guided sightseeing tour around Brussels!

"They were emus. Nearly six feet tall, typically seventy-five pounds, these flightless birds stand beside the kangaroo on Australia’s coat of arms as a symbol of this otherworldly continent at the bottom of the globe. Emus seem part bird and part mammal, with a little dinosaur thrown in. Shaggy, twin-shafted brown feathers hang from the rounded torso like hair."

Maybe implicit in my "don't compromise on morals, but also don't let that compromise personal relationships" stance is that part of what I include in "friendship" is being willing to call each other out on bullshit. I don't consider a relationship without that willingness to be a friendship — it's not nothing, but friendship is a high bar.

I feel like I found "my people" the last time I was at CSS Day. Josh is definitely one of them (whether he likes it or not)!

"An analysis of Gaza’s civil registry by Al Jazeera detailed Monday how thousands of US-backed Israeli military’s attacks on the exclave become stories not only of individual casualties but of 'lineage, heritage, and identity disappearing in an instant' — with 2,700 families entirely wiped out since October 2023.
"In 6,000 families, Hani Mahmoud reported from Gaza City, just 'a single sole survivor' has been left behind."
