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”.

Stop hiding all your fucking information in discords

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.

My MS Teams meetings today...

@edross @fesshole the ratings are just as fucked as the officers. Water doesn’t care about rank.

@SamLR is there a speed run category for Terraforming a win?

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.

@fesshole yeah, you show this kids. How dare they be teenagers in public!

@q I did this a while ago and concluded the “mixed” setting is the only one that needed to exist.

@robpike I eventually cracked, bought a selection of fully specced good quality cables, then chucked all the other ones. USB-C is so much better when you can rely on any cable you pick up doing whatever you need it to.

@PeteMayo @SecurityWriter @tychotithonus @dennisfaucher you may want to note that both are Olympic athletes, amongst the best in the world at what they do.

@an0key @CatherineFlick @hugh I got a WhatsApp message rather than an SMS from a taxi company the other day.

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.

@james@strangeobject.space I met this caterpillar this morning.

And by “heroically drunk” I mean “will die like a hero”,

For 11pm on a Tuesday night there’s a surprising number of people out who are heroically drunk.

@an0key @jarkman I modelled my flat a while back to check furniture fit.

No, you can’t see it.

Definitely didn’t see this coming when they added an AI button to their mice.

@james@strangeobject.space I’ve consulted the administrator of my instance and they are in fact taking donations.
