The best thing about FFVII Rebirth is how cool everyone is being with spoiler etiquette for a 26 year old story

It always irks me a bit hearing people (boomers [my dad]) proclaim "airline pilots don't even fly, they just sit behind an autopilot".

I want to force them watch footage of the airliner landings (and goarounds) during Storm Isha and remind them it's all being flown by hand

It breaks my heart that bostonkey.party is a registered domain but seemongly not in use.

Donating blood is a pretty metal way to do mutual aid.

Back to Tidal and it seems to be a bit more responsive than it was a year ago, plus I get to listen to JNew on the go again!

"Bluesky mutual" sounds like an insurance company.

Spotify search now provides a series of useless autocomplete suggestions before the exact thing I typed in, which I assume means Spotify are using Chat GPT now.

Man the 23andMe hack is looking rough, and they've already made opt-out-only TOS changes to cover themselves from class action lawsuits so this is only going to get worse #infosec
6.9 million customers impacted by 23andMe hack: company
Millions of profiles were accessed by a threat in the 23andMe data breach. Here's what that includes.

"Plagiarism", digital, 2023

Every one of my university submissions was accompanied by background fear that I had somehow accidentally plagiarised the content in it.

Shout out to hbomberguy's new video for getting rid of that fear forever!

If you're after a 2023 anime rec: go check out Overtake. It's a fantastic introduction to how motorsports works, especially at grassroots, but is also a brilliant exploration of how people experience trauma over the course of their lives (1/2)

Can't wait for every ad agency to learn that AI can be used to game SEO and immediately yolo their way to mutually assured destruction

I've spent the last couple of weeks dodging youtube's adblock blocker by opening videos in private tabs, resulting in the algorithm thinking I'm not watching anything and suggesting increasingly worse content.

I think this is where I get premium and hope a solution crops up before the trial ends.

I'm a big fan of #3goodthings trend, life can be overwhelmingly crap and it's a nice way to reflect on highlights.

1. I got to see some close friends I have missed greatly.
2. I finished 3 books for pleasure (Tales of Pirx The Pilot, In Praise Of Shadows, Piranesi)
3. I'm on Bluesky! (goodness tbd)
