Content warning: Microsoft/Activision merger
I’ve been hoping they would block this deal. As a consumer it seems obvious too much power would be in one place if this deal goes through.

I’ve suddenly gotten less interested in Steam Deck. Apparently it doesn’t have true multi-user support, like a PlayStation, so if I was sharing it with the kids we couldn’t in general safely have our own save files. I guess this is similar to a Nintendo Switch in that regards but it’s built on Linux so I’d hoped for something better.

Really liked the clouds this morning only slightly marred by road construction.
I am tempted to get a Ender-3 S1 Pro 3D Printer which is currently on sale for a hefty discount. But I question if I have the patience, or any real need, for a 3D printer. Also not too keen on plastic-y things. I usually make pathetic attempts at wood-based construction.

😮💨 Relieved - finally fixed the iCloud drive sync issue
Trying to build a Mastodon filter to prevent World Cup spoilers. It's a bit tricky because so far the posts don't have a consistent word/emoji to filter on.
Well that iCloud sync solution didn't fix things after all. It's hung with nearly 6,000 files to go of 4GB. It's hung on something but there doesn't seem to be a way to find out what. Trying a few wild guesses then I guess it will be a nuclear option.
Syncing from my iMac using iCloud has been hung the past few days. Finally researched and found a solution on Apple’s developer site. The sync has started again but there’s a backlog 25GB to be sent. May be a good time to workout.🏋️

I put far more effort into picking the right font for an embedded device display than was warranted. Finally settled on BarlowCondensed-Light: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Barlow+Condensed?preview.text=12:32&preview.size=59&preview.text_type=custom&query=barlow&category=Serif,Sans+Serif,Monospace

I really wish Apple Homekit scenes could change the focus mode on my iPhone automatically. In particular when I trigger “Good night” I want my iPhone in Sleep focus.

Content warning: US politics and the bird (site)
I wish folks would simply ignore everything Trump says now that he has his megaphone back. Let him scream at his followers but don’t amplify him by trying to counter argue because that plays into his hands. Instead focus on boosting those who are trying to do right.
Of course it is just my wish. Best wishes to all.
I’d like a simple blog system that could automatically add my toots.
🌄☕️ and exhaling, leaning back into this first day of a long Thanksgiving week holiday.
