A deeply bizarre evening as we bump into the tail end of D&B on a Bike, and then Professor Elemantal continues giving my son a wildly unrealistic introduction to live music and following an artist with a personal welcome, followed by winning one of his hats in a raffle. A somewhat bittersweet party as our local queer art/live music/community support space has its last live music before going into hibernation due to obscene rent increases.
@Edent it takes me straight back to the 90s where we’d sit round and watch it as a family. 30 years later we still make bad jokes about Wesley “Two Scoops” WhatsHisNane every time there’s ice cream.
Gladiators is some wonderfully wholesome TV. Just a bunch of incredibly fit people having a good time hitting each other with giant q-tips.
@james@strangeobject.space @VeryBadLlama they have to be chaperoned by someone of good standing.
Got to love how most websites now resemble yer da's popup ridden malware infected pc from 20 years ago
Just got back from Dune, and holy shit, they only went and pulled off a faithful adaptation of a book I thought was impossible to bring to film well. No idea whether it makes any sense to people who don’t already know the book, but as a lifelong fan it was awe inspiring to see.
If you make a commercial product that allows someone to remotely access video, audio, or location data from a device, I am begging you to threat model for domestic abuse BEFORE YOU SHIP YOUR GODDAMN PRODUCT.
@pikesley you need to be careful, otherwise someone who can predict which seed you used might be able to know which LEDs are going to light up next.
@pikesley fine, I guess I’ll work then. If it’s sunny in four year’s time though, my god there will be a revolution.
Once every four years we get an extra day, and yet we willingly allow it to be stolen by The Man unless it falls on a weekend. It should be a bonus bank holiday, a quadrennial party day in which we all go outside and enjoy the early springtime.
getting fired from apple for printing out little pieces of paper that say ".DS_Store" and leaving them everywhere
Just rewatched Dune in preparation for part 2 on Friday and once again I’m blown away by how good it is, after the trepidation of hearing a book I’ve read more or less annually since I was 14 was getting a modern film adaptation.
Apprentice is such a glorious shitshow. A laser focused exercise in how not to do business.
It has been 3 weeks since my son declared the toothpaste tube empty. Realistically I’d probably have chucked it by now but we’re so close to a full month I keep persisting and squeezing a little more out.
@gsuberland it’s just suggesting that you might need a bit of a break. It’s not good for the soul to binge watch holocaust movies.
@mattgrayyes it’s a good thing Meta is collecting information on everything you do so they can so carefully target ads to you.
@Thayer have the queues improved yet? I was put off by someone saying they had to wait long enough to get a game that they keep a book nearby.
@robpike I think the big shift is around encouraging people to use them instead of gas fired central heating, combined with the increasing prevalence of solar systems with batteries. Particularly if you can generate energy during the day and store it for use overnight electric heating suddenly because dramatically cheaper than it was historically.
Big moment today as I encounter my first ever bug caused by integer endianness.
@markwalker @Thayer fast.com is reading from Netflix’s CDN, so will generally be faster than you’ll see in practice because you’re connecting to a server within your ISP’s network most of the time.
Hi, friends. Today is a very special day because I got to launch Television, the visionOS app I dreamed up a few months ago, and partnered with a very talented developer named Andy Roth and my dear bud @dan to make this thing real.
It's the future of television.
