Happy Monday, I got bugs on my screen, malaria, flesh-eating bacteria and Covid, and they call Covid novel? Happy Monday

Have scheduled the next three days for migrating one of my #xamarinforms apps to #maui.

Attempted this previously but either MAUI wasn't ready or I was doing something wrong - at that point I'd like to say the either was possible.

Also continuing with my migration to #gitlab (self hosted) to reduce my reliance on 3rd party services like Azure DevOps and Github.

I'm not sure I ever imagined days like these, when I first started working on #elections in the carter-anderson-reagan days. What the hell is going on? #InterestingTimes can get pretty #scary.
#Trump ‘shows no signs’ of obeying judge’s orders as Special Counsel asks...

@partim ‘Mildly insane’. As opposed to ‘Totally insane’, which would be to propose to run direct Amsterdam-Milan&Barcelona trains through France from 2030. The demand is probably there. They have the material. #interestingtimes.

Apparently there’s no news other than what the best dressed billionaires were wearing or about some dude’s party.

And covid is definitely over - despite lots of people I know being ill with it right now, and lots of friends having long covid.

With the FBI shooting of Roy McGrath (ex-aide to ex-governor of Maryland) after a 21-day manhunt, we are officially all background characters in a made-for-TV series.

The #MIGOP just elected election-denier/Qanon cultist kristina karamo as it's new leader. She ran for secretary of state (in charge of elections) in 2022 and was smoked. Her opponent for chair was the failed GOP AG candidate matt deperno who has been cited for misconduct as a lawyer, played a big part in the fraudulent electors submitted by the #MIGOP, and was at the Willard hotel in DC on January 6, 2021. 1/3

@Andystopdancing
Yep, the #Liberals have regressed to the "good old days" (good for them, not for the rest of us) in strategy, policy, political tactics & they ARE being left behind.
I'd love to think the #LiberalParty was finished but I fear that won't be the case. I hope I'm wrong.
#Dutton might lead them to the next election & lose then someone a bit more electorally attractive, possibly more progressive, will lead & sooner or later they'll return. I hope it takes a long time.
But if they do disappear (🙏) would #Labor then be our #rw party with #theGreens becoming the #lw?

We live in strange weather times. It is over 50° right now in the DC metro area (DMV) - warmest it has been all day! The flash freeze is looming Friday night…but I am going to enjoy this tropical temperature. #climate #interestingtimes #winter is really here! ☃️🤍☃️

@Spud

Yes, what #InterestingTimes to live in! 👍

#TLDR He believes the problem is AI is going to be trained on very limited Facts and Specific Images and will confuse humans who are already prone to retreating into angry camps pitted against one another. And only time and experience will teach us how to avoid the very worst parts.
So, #InterestingTimes ahead.

I have seen so much clearly copyright protected art being reproduced by some ai art generators. Nightcafe doesn't seem as prone to that so idk if it filters training? This guy is rambling and hard for me to stay focused on *but* it ended up being worth the listen.
Follows is a link to a youtube by vlogbrothers about #AI and how society has some #InterestingTimes ahead.

Am reading Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett.

Have just come across the Four Horsemen of the Common Cold - Sniffles, Chesty, Nostril and Lack of Tissues.

I have been very well acquainted with these four for what seems like the last couple of months

May have included Snot, myself!
