@palmin If I share a camera from NAS Reborn to a few viewers, it seems to degrade everyone’s quality to that of the slowest client, even if they have enough bandwidth for better quality.

Seriously, a fucking prayer? And only one religion represented? Are the V8s trying to emulate NASCAR? #bathurst1000

@hotdogsladies’s Wisdom Project (https://github.com/merlinmann/wisdom/blob/master/wisdom.md) contains some good stuff, and some stuff I disagree with, but the one thing that’s stuck in my head is “People think about you much less than you either hope or fear.”, though in my mind I’ve turned it into “People both think about you more and less than you think.” 1/2

Ruby, one of our puppies, tragically passed today at 18 months. She left our home at 8 weeks, but we’ve kept in touch and became great friends with her owners. She will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, little girl.

I am #AuDHD. I am not broken. Just because something is trivial for NTs and comes with a whole lot of anxiety provoking baggage for me does not make me broken. It is the expectation that because something is simple for the NT population it will be simple for everyone that is broken. And it is that expectation that makes #autism and #ADHD a disability. Society is broken, not me. All my self-talk to the contrary is internalised ableism bullshit. #actuallyAutistic

You know it&#39;s going to be a fun day if you don&#39;t have the executive function to stop your morning alarm, set a new alarm for 30 minutes time, and put your phone back onto do not disturb, so you decide to get up instead. #actuallyAutistic #AuDHD #autism #ADHD

Hey @marcoarment, I’m enjoying Unforgetful. I have a daily reminder that may not get done. Is there a way for me to tell Unforgetful that if this activity isn’t done by a certain time, not to remind me about it again until the next scheduled time?

Hey @halcyon, I&#39;m enjoying AfterGlow. Is there any way for me to make the mac screen savers shuffle between my favourites?

Last night I think I ordered the most Marcus thing ever. A cheesy garlic pizza with extra cheese, extra garlic, and bacon.
