Got it all done. By that I mean returning broken electronics and the haircut, of course! Now now, all you "go vote" peeps, chill, I early voted on Friday.
It would be my luck to arrive at Best Buy though, only to be told that their fuse had blown and the store was opening later in the day instead. Had to go to Staples, where they tried to get me to sign up for their rewards program just to get store credit for the items I return. Not too worth it to me.
Back to work for the last 2 hours now.

Was echt prima wäre in Friendica/im Fediverse: Ein Verfallsdatum für Postings. Also nicht pauschal für alle, das gibt es ja schon, sondern dass ich bei jedem Post entscheiden kann, wie lange der online ist. Es sind ja nicht wenige Postings nach ein paar Wochen irrelevant, während andere noch nach Jahren interessant sein können.

Because of sudden car trouble I had to order groceries today. Guess who just realized their food was sitting on the porch for an hour because the delivery person never rang the doorbell???

That's the worst! Decent refund policy at least?

I had to start temperature-checking food deliveries that were left out so I didn't use unsafe foods.

I got so fed up of waiting for Meta to launch their AI for the Meta Raybans that I took the plunge and set up a VPN. Lo and behold, my glasses now have the AI feature. I’m really enjoying the ability to ask questions about my surroundings & get quick responses, but some of the answers have confirmed that AI is far from infallible. Today, I found a jar in the cupboard which I was pretty sure contained honey. I asked Meta and it said it was a jar of peanut butter. Wrong; it was honey, as confirmed by Be My AI. I suppose the contents are a similar colour, but I thought Meta might read the label.
But if it gets this sort of thing wrong, I’m not convinced it is going to take over the world. If it does, we’re in trouble.

Not only that. I noticed that when Meta AI provides the wrong answer, it tends to blubber on and on as if trying to jiustify its folly! :)

I'm on a social media fast, which is why you haven't heard much from me, but I did want to share one cool thing. Our stuff has been 8-bit RGB for a while, but it's increasingly clear that's not going to cut it in an HDR world. Inspired by bevy_color and some conversations, I've started a color crate: github.com/linebender/color

If you're into color, I'd love your feedback. If you use color in Rust, let me know whether this crate would be useful, or what might be changed.

There were 2 Democrats on the entire state ballot here in Alabama, at least in my district. Every other Republican was unopposed. If you live in a blue state, don’t you dare take it for granted.

Hey, friends: today we win. Today will protect each other, and the most vulnerable in our communities. Today we are going to stand up against fascism & violence and joyfully come together to care for those who need protection & support. We do this *no matter* how votes go today, no matter what disruptions or attacks come, so find peace in knowing what does not change, what they can never stop. Once you’ve voted, sign off, and don’t look or scroll if it causes you stress. Tomorrow we get to work.

Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada

Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

From the mouth of my 8 year old this morning. Jaydon, if I could vote, I would not vote for Trump. Dad, why? Jaydon, because he's in jail and he just wants to be president so he won’t go to jail. Dad, but he’s not in jail. Jaydon, also, he’s mean and won’t allow babies. I would vote for Harris, she’s nicer. Me, Jaydon where did you hear about the presidents and the election stuff? Jaydon, from ads. LMAO, welcome to election day at my house this morning!

Somehow, I ended up with two #NVDA shortcuts on my desktop. One points to nvda.exe, and another one points to nvda_slave.exe. They both seem to work. They both have the same hotkey registered. Anyone have some idea what the difference is?

Reminder:

Republicans changed the way votes are counted specifically to convince their voters that Democrats "stole" the 2020 election.

On Election Day, only the votes cast that day will be counted and it will look like Trump is winning by a lot.

Then, other kinds of votes will be counted, and Kamala will suddenly do better.

Be ready for it. Don't get depressed on Election Day.

TIL: Puerto Rico actually doesn't vote in the presidential election.

Simply, it's the electoral college. And that by itself is more than unfair. Probably a result of colonialism.

Voted a few weeks ago. All I can do today is hunker down, ignore the outside world, hope for the less shitty outcome, and play the cards we're dealt starting tomorrow.

Also can't wait until I live in a state where my presidential vote actually counts, and where the government doesn't illegalize the things that do pass that it doesn't like. Funny how small government is such a good thing until that small government does something republicans don't like, then the fascism comes out. Going to be glad when Texas is just a memory in the rear view.
