Last night I stopped on the Oak Leaf Trail where it's pitch dark and tried to get a look (and some photos) of the current bike lighting situation. That LED strip on the downtube really lights things up! There's also the built-in headlight along with a second one I use. The back is my NeoPixel matrix light/box.)(Last photo is in the alley at home with the downtube light turned off.)#bikeTooter

Being a creative little weirdo is an act of resistance.

Milwaukee County posted this photo of a repaving project with the text:"The roadway now includes on-street accommodations for bicyclists"They are getting absolutely roasted by cyclists in the comments.#cycling #bikeTooter #mke #milwaukee

"Are the bike accommodations in the room with us?""Did you guys forget to post the new pictures?""Maybe a gravel bike.""Cycling on a shoulder of a 50mph zone (where drivers are doing 5-10mph over) while being a couple of feet away from the cars that don't care to give proper spacing to cyclists.""Safer for who exactly? Not cyclists certainly. Paint isn’t infrastructure.""Please consult with the public and bicycle advocacy groups in the future."

I started biking to work in August and it's now the end of November and I've done it 50 times in those 4 months.That's 50 days I rode a bike instead of driving a car... about 650 miles by bike instead of car.#bikeTooter #cycling

I just want to make clear that I'm not trying to brag... being able to bike to work is a privilege because I am a privileged person, and I will always try to recognize that privilege.Also, privileged people *should* use their privilege for good. If I can represent one fewer cars on the road, I'll do that.Good for me, and good for you. We both win.

@tomjennings Remember building web sites in the late 1990s? So many terrible choices have happened since then it makes you wish rotating logos and banner text were the worst things we had to deal with.

@Unabart You convinced me to vote for SNFU. I honestly haven’t listened to them in forever but did give that classic album a spin last year. It took me back, even if it doesn’t have a regular spot in the rotation. (But now I’m gonna groove on it later today!)

I love it when I add a 50 millisecond delay to some code to make it work properly.I mean, I hate it.. but I also love it. I guess.

I think people who use AI/LLMs for programming want to solve problems, but people who choose *not* to use AI/LLMs want to solve problems but also want to *understand* those problems. We need more understanding in our world.

I saw a Hackaday comment where someone admitted they were wrong and apologized.Maybe there is hope for the world…

I know a guy who used to be a conservative, until he went to college. It wasn't "woke professors" that change him to a liberal, it was being in an actual city instead of the small town he grew up in.Meeting more diverse people made him realize he was fed lies about others while growing up. So yeah, if you ever wondered why the right wants to shut down education and universities, that's one reason.

He also told me he still reads Fox News, but with a critical eye, and so he can easily counter things his conservative friends (and family) tell him.I remember him telling me that, and occasionally look at Fox News to see how they see things.Here's an interesting one full of scary buzzwords like "Socialism" and "Communists".https://www.foxnews.com/politics/far-left-network-helped-put-alex-pretti-harms-way-made-him-martyr

We also learn that an Airtable spreadsheet is "a sophisticated tracking database" used by "far left agitators"...

I went to a web site and it said "It's free! Just sign in with Google." and first though "Hell No!" and then I thought "That's not free..."

I followed a link to a PDF file that was stored in Google Drive and got assaulted with options to let Gemini create an outline, list the main points, create an audio summary, or answer questions.I just want to download a PDF file. That's it. #noAI #ai #FuckAI

A sci-fi story where JSON never existed but we use XML files for everything.
