literally just had a 800ms power outage as i was updating my bootloader.

what luck. maybe i should buy a lottery ticket?

my piece of shit tripp lite UPS doesn't alert to an overload condition *before* power is out, so when it switched over to battery, it shut itself off. something something seatbelts that don't work something something worse than useless

i knew 3blue1brown made manim (https://github.com/3b1b/manim) which is the library used for making the animations in their videos, but i didn't know they publish the full source for the generation of all of the videos. that's fucking cool

apple's software update checks will not work with ocsp blocked, you have to temporarily allow it to get updates. also there are bugs in the UI; if you have it blocked it will tell you your system is up to date (with a current "last checked" timestamp) when it's actually not.

is transgenderism an innate trait of a human being or is it a choice/decision made by the person?

what are the arguments (right or wrong) or evidence supporting or debunking the answer?

i am interested in philosophical examinations of opposing, warring viewpoints. i'm pro-choice, for example, but i also recognize that the right to an abortion is a *legitimately* contentious issue because the anti-choice argument is *logically sound* given its premise of human life beginning at conception (a premise with which i do not agree). anti-choice people aren't acting in bad faith, they're just wrong/dumb.

The trans-vs-terfs one is another I love to read about:

whew a hard power cycle (soft off/on didnt work) fixed it. smart tvs were a mistake

i wish mkbhd weren't such a basic bitch and actually knew more about technology, his videos look great and are only really marred by his lack of taste
