If I was anonymously holding a government to ransom and a judge ruled that I must reveal my identity and give everything back, I would simply not do that
Today in my current fascination with Flight Simulator I successfully took off, flew around a bit, found the airport I’d left from again, and landed the plane at it.
I then entirely missed the taxiway because I was a little eager to get off the runway before slowing down enough but I’m taking this as a win.
i think you all might not understand what graffiti is
@Apiary @saraislet if you’re expected to work during vacation, quit.
Can you even call yourself a full stack developer if you didn’t dig up the silicon yourself?
Finally got round to watching Jurassic World Dominion this evening after putting it off because everyone said it was awful. It was about an hour too long, and squandered the premise of humanity living alongside dinosaurs, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was made out to be.
I needed to charge my TV remote the other day, so now it’s on the end of the long USB-C cable I keep there for charging things like game controllers and I kind of love the 70s vibes it gives off.
It’s more a disinformation B-road now, with occasional stretches of information that jump up on you out of nowhere.

I swear this is Siri exhibiting malicious compliance because of the endless bullshit I ask of it. The question was “how do you spell ninety”.
Saw a road sign today that said "FOLLOW ALL DIVERSIONS" and it was honestly very validating
Apropos of nothing, Nintendo 3DS is easily the best pun in gaming. A product presumably developed because someone thought up the name and couldn’t let it go.
142) Cordbot. Unties the emergency cord in an accessible toilet if someone has tied it up. #SmallRobotsRemastered
Chess hasn’t been updated in almost 200 years and it’s obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.
I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like “castling” and “en passant” instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I’ve been complaining for years about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The ‘clipping-through-pieces’ bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.
Don’t support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.
I really dislike the way all video platforms have standardised on putting the option to continue watching the last thing you watched after three rows of recommendations. More actively user hostile design.
For 11pm on a Tuesday night there’s a surprising number of people out who are heroically drunk.
Definitely didn’t see this coming when they added an AI button to their mice.

@james I’ve consulted the administrator of my instance and they are in fact taking donations.
(It’s me, I’m the admin, and also the only user)
I broke the cardinal rule of no phone in bed. “Quickly” picked it up to do something and now it’s two hours later and instead of reading a book I’ve read the internet. This is why my phone charger lives at the other side of the room.
Every now and then I remember the Paris Olympic village features beds designed to make it difficult for the athletes to have sex with each other and chuckle at the naivety of it.
Emailed magic links can be a great way to deal with authentication but please don’t make them single use, put a time limit on them instead. There’s one service I use which has single use tokens, which means that I’ll request a link, and then I can only use the service within the GMail app on my phone because any interaction with the link will cause it to be loaded.
@blogdiva @CatherineFlick I also missed this bit and now feel I’m going to have to go back and watch the whole show from the beginning.
