Mastodon FeedGood news: I'm no longer spending 100% of my waking hours in a blind panic about the impending crush of fascism! That's because I'm now spending 80% of my waking hours panicking about how much money DNA Lounge is losing, and whether we can possibly survive until spring.

Drove here today and I’m 100% sure that the only reason this catastrophe actually works (no lane markers! No lights! Total free-for-all with twelve exits!) is because every single person in the roundabout is scared out of their minds

Here is a fun piece of computing history I just became aware of: in 2007 the Bush administration changed when DST started, and because Exchange stored event times converted to UTC Microsoft had to release an "Exchange Calendar Update Tool" to help try and fix everyone's calendars https://web.archive.org/web/20070302224145/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930879
Attachments:
- About the Exchange tool After you install the DST updates for Microsoft Windows, all old appointments that occur during the DST change periods will be incorrectly displayed as occurring one hour later. This is true for both recurring and single-instance appointments. These appointments must be updated so that they will be displayed correctly in Outlook, in Outlook Web Access, and in CDO-based applications. (remote)

Only one more week of classes, and I only have to give one more lecture--I have cleverly delegated the work to the students, who will be doing presentations.
I'm hoping maybe I'll finally catch up on my sleep.

- Say McDonalds to end commercial patent which is comprised of four panels. First panel: a person sits on a couch in front of a TV, which is showing some movie with people shooting each other. Second panel: the person is still staring silently at the TV while the TV says «Say “McDonald’s” to end commercial».

This is from a real patent. U.S. Patent Aug. 21,2012 Sheet 9 of 20 US 8,246,454 B2 (remote)

And if you prefer not to financially support Mastodon for whatever reason, you can still donate to folks and groups like @thisismissem, @iftas, https://opencollective.com/gotosocial, or @thenexusofprivacy who are all doing a lot of great work and advocacy in this area.
(Happy to receive more suggestions for who to support!)
