Every time I'm away from using a #wiki for a while, I return to nostalgic feelings of old, lost, simpler dreams. I miss that excitement.

The #CNET #plagiarism #chatgpt scandal is hilarious, not least because they were essentially trying to pass off the work of a toddler as journalism. Too soon, folks, too soon.

The #Arc browser looks extremely promising (if you need an invite, let me know). #Vivaldi has some great features. But I just don't have time to give a new browser much of a run, much less contemplate the horror of changing over and (re)customizing my primary web experience.

There are plenty of problems in the world I can, and do, obsess about and lose sleep over. But few with the frequency with which I lament that it's 2023 and no company can yet manufacture a toaster that toasts evenly.
