The expanded "Now Playing" feature in Spotify would be nice if - you know - it actually *showed* the artwork for what I'm listening to. This has been broken since I discovered it for the first time several weeks ago. The "Show Artist Image" option doesn't work either.

Fantano correctly scores the new Honningbarna album at a strong 8. The track "MP5" has been constant in my rotation for weeks, it's fucking wild. And kind of funny lyrics for us weegees.

På slike ting hjelper det å kunne de tekniske betegnelsene, spesielt om man trenger å kjøpe nye på nett. Det var sikkert ingen som spurte, men jeg poster det uansett.

De vanligste vi bruker i Europa er C5 (Mikke Mus-pluggen), C7, og C13/C15. You're welcome.

Vi trenger en ny julestjerne, men er ellers meget fornøyde. 😁 God jul! 🎄

Finally done doing our Christmas prep and cleaning. Weird Al's "Christmas At Ground Zero" had the perfect tempo for some santa hat whirlwind headbanging.

Sambo @nyanchan.bsky.social tok bilde av meg mens jeg leste årets første julehefte. Blinkskudd.🎄

Not the most legible homescreen ever, but that background was too good to pass up.

Niagara launcher, Oswald font, Flight icon pack, wallpaper taken from Backdrops app.

Post a random game from your collection.

Not much to look at now after all these years of wear and tear, but this is probably one of my most prized possessions.

I was delighted to find that one of my most anticipated games of the past 8 years (!) finally released on Steam not too long ago through Early Access after being Epic exclusive for a long time. Might be one of the most gorgeous action games I've ever played, absolutely love the art direction here.

I remember MTV as the channel I probably watched the most growing up. It's weird how it faded into basically nothing during the 2010's and is now a part of our cultural history.

GOG summer sale popping off. Some proper classics and some modern classics in the cart this year.

Bless GOG for being one of the few places where you can get a good selection of games that you can just download and play without any kind of DRM. 🙏

I always knew I'd eventually wind up on Linux. There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that it's seemingly the only mainstream OS that gives the user actual freedom and control. As a consumer, that's more important to me now than it ever has been.

The "retro mode" on web.minidisc.wiki is giving me all kinds of feelings.

I got it! I tried inserting some of my old discs that have been sitting unused for 25 years (!) and they're playing just fine with no issues. I am beyond stoked. 😁

Been digging through some old files lately. Here's what my desktop looked like 20 years ago.

Good times. I'm very nostalgic for the Windows 2000 era of gaming and computing in general.

So, after several back and forths regarding shipping, I finally got the keycaps to finish my new keyboard build.

As promised, here are the pictures. I am quite happy with both the sound and the aesthetic of it, and best of all, it's wireless!

I have no idea what most of this strip says, but it's still funny.
