NEW VIDEO: How a simple mistake ruined my new PC (and my YouTube channel)

on a day with no ADHD meds, my roommate knocks on the door and is like "a friend got their discord hacked but before I knew it they sent me an EXE and I ran it. am I hacked?"

RIP, George Lowe, the amazing talent behind the Spaceghost Coast to Coast voice.

The voice of America Online’s “You’ve got mail” has died at age 74
His cassette recording, made for $200 in 1989, was a sound that defined an online generation.

I posted this to Twitter yesterday, but forgot to crosspost because I got too emotional about it.

Every story has an ending, and my time with Linus Media Group is at a close. A lot of my favourite people work there, and I'll always cherish our time together. These were some of the happiest days of my life.

Thank you all so much for supporting me. I wish everyone the best.

To everyone who has supported me before or after I announced my transition, sincerely, thank you for giving me the strength to do my best work, even when I didn't feel like I could.

I wish I could do something to repay you, but for now, I need to pick up the pieces and push on.

I don't know what comes next. I haven't written it yet. But I am gonna write it. I'm in better shape today than I have been in 12 years, and I have more skills now than ever.

I'm still not an expert at anything, but maybe I've learned just enough to make something out of it.

I AM THE POLITICAL PRISONER OF A FAILING FEDERATION, BUT I WILL SOON BE FREE, NOVEMBER 5TH, AND MAKE ALPHA QUADRANT GREAT AGAIN!

THIS WAS A DISGRACE—A RIGGED TRIAL BY A CONFLICTED JUDGE WHO IS CORRUPT, IN BED WITH CROOKED PICARD, SECTION 34 AND DEEP STATE 9. WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR CHARTER—THIS IS LONG FROM OVER!

MY CIVIL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TOTALLY VIOLATED WITH THIS HIGHLY POLITICAL, ELECTION INTERFERING PAH-WRAITH HUNT OF A SHAM TRIAL RUN BY SECTION 34. OUR FAILING QUADRANT IS BEING LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE GALAXY!

Surprise, surprise! The Rabbit R1 runs Android under-the-hood, and its entire interface is powered by an Android app.

I managed to get that app up and running on a Pixel 6a.

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.

Challenge accepted.

Sometimes when I’m having a particularly lousy day, I say “Computer, end program.” You know, just in case.

Here's how Google will simplify sideloading in Android.

As part of a proposed class action lawsuit settlement, Google said it will revise the default sideloading flow in Android. Here's exactly what they're changing:
