Welcome to all my new followers (seems I'm in a Starter Pack !).

If you're into 3D Printing, check out the Feed I run and give it a follow: bsky.app/profile/did:...
I hope it's about the Intergalactic Social Services ;)
Apparently my solution to this long and already complicated chapter is to add a whole new character the book hasn’t even seen before.

Why would ANYONE want Motion Blur enabled in anything ?!

I just paste the URL into Gemini and ask it to summarise the video for me. Makes watching longform videos so much easier and you get the info you want/need without having to watch 20 minutes of extra stuff, especially when it's made by a "rambly Youtuber" (you know the ones).
I think folks often forget about the tools #YouTube gives users to maximize their viewing experience. Keyboard shortcuts, speed watching tools, Watch Later... but most users don't know about them. Check out @oldskool.org's new video on how to get the most out of YT!

Why is it that developers become complete dickheads once their tool becomes widely used ?

Remember when all the "Youtubers" were bitching at the "algorithm" for ruining their views, only for it to be nothing to do with Youtube at all and was a line in an adblock list ?

Fun times. I wonder how they're all doing...

I really worry about the future of the human race.

Does no one have any common sense these days ?

Anyone else instantly not want to deal with a company when they use "you're" instead of "your" ? "Transform you're outdoor space" - nah, maybe not.

Hey @discord.com - Sudden, forced audio changes are scientifically intrusive due to auditory sensory processing differences (like hyperacusis) common in ASD, ADHD, etc. They cause sensory overload and distress by removing predictability. Opt-in is better, giving users control over their sounds.

Hate it when you have 20+ years of experience in something, you build a solution and make sure it's secure etc, then someone sends you an "I asked ChatGPT what you should do, make sure these things are done" email and half of it doesn't relate to the solution, and the rest you've already done.

OK, kinda funny :P

You know what drives me mad... people who use the term "wifi" to mean their internet connection. "I can't get wifi in my house" - yes you can, buy an access point. What you mean is you can't get AN INTERNET CONNECTION.

"My wifi's down", no it's not, your wifi is fine - your ISP's just fucked.

Boohoo, poor multi-billion pound company.

Maybe you shouldn't have been scammy little cunts.

Shame they ignored all this when they created Liquid Glass and forced it into a desktop OS...
New article! A very brief compare n' contrast of Apple's design since ~'01.

“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like… Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” —Steve Jobs, The New York Times, 2003.

Why do people on Reddit seem to think that ChatGPT is the answer to everything, and that every answer it generates is 100% truthful cos it has "access to the internet"...

Idiots.

Internal TLS cert expired for my home lab. Had to work out the whole process I did a year ago to renew it. Renewed it for 3 years. Will go through the whole process again in 2028. You're welcome Future Me !

Hey ‪@xblock.aendra.dev‬ - if you're going to erroneously label posts with your labeller, make sure your appeals process also functions...

Man, Youtubers are in a different world to the rest of us.

You didn't "reinvent the clock", you just built a clock.

My first PoP experience was on my Granddad's Amiga 500 when we used to visit him as a kid.
"Which is your favorite/definitive version of the original Prince of Persia?"

💾As promised-- after 35 years, here's a proper blog post with my thoughts, and the story behind Prince of Persia's multiple 1990s ports.

Until you install something that upgrades your kernel, now all your DKMS's need recompiling cos nothing works, but one won't recompile cos it's not compatible with that kernel version so that application is now no longer something you can use :P
This is one of the core things that is getting me to learn how to switch to Linux. There have been a few annoyances and challenges along the way but nothing unsolvable, and ZERO AI.

Remember back when people were spending 10's of thousands of money to buy a JPEG of a monkey ?

Fun times.

Youtubers: ERMERGERD THE ALGORITHM FUCKED ME OVER !

Narrator: it was actually a third party uBlock blocklist which got updated around the 11th August and bugger all to do with Youtube's algorithm in any way at all.

Me: *surprised Pikachu meme*
