It's blog post time! Some thoughts on the avalanche of shit. www.audiodamage.com/blogs/news/s...

Delivery address for #ZXSpectrumNext locked today, so maybe, just maybe, will get my grubby little mitts on it in a week or two?

"Genius" 🤦‍♂️

😬

Thin End of the Wedge: Steam Next Fest Under Fire as Demo Festival Drowns in a Flood of AI Slop (Repost)

This one's too easy 🤷‍♂️ Smells like teen spirit in my pants.

Meh, can't stay up any longer to wait for PHP patch compatible with my version of CloudPanel. Guess the websites will just stay offline until the morning... #phpwned #phpocalypse

Nothing like waking up to learn there's a critical #PHP vulnerability to panic about 😬

I always mispronounced Rediffusion as "ready-fusion" in my head 🤷

I'm no ornithologist, but I've seen swifts and it's pretty obvious what they're doing to eat 🤷

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.

In today's trending non-news: Massive twat confirms he's still a massive twat.

actual LOLs. Might be lost on anyone outside the UK though.

It’s a shame Bandersnatch is now lost to time. Clearly Colin Ritman was a nod from Brooker.

Successfully set up Vaultwarden in a Docker container on VPS. I didn't need the storage they tried to justify the price increase from $10/yr to $25/yr with.

Satire is dead. Reality has overtaken it.

100% this. Downhill ever since. XP without the Noddy interface wasn't so bad either.

It's the sound a content cat makes. Maybe you've purred of it?

Excitement level increasing

Luckily not much making me want to scream at the moment, but there's been times.

Reduce the window corner radius on #macos 26 and 27 to something less stupid: forums.macrumors.com/threads/over... #apple

Still one of my all time favourites. Chills every time! #MODtober

More awesomeness from @0b5vr.bsky.social and friends! #demoscene #sizecoding

Watched this last night, very interesting. I'm sure the bit right at the end where he congratulates the 2 people who watched all the way is somewhat exaggerated; surely must have data from previous videos that people*do* watch through? Although I guess with today's attention spans maybe not too many

Holy pile of poop Batman, the new Superman movie is so incredibly bad. 💩💩💩💩💩/💩💩💩💩💩 on the Shit-o-meter. Do not waste 2 hours of your life like I just did.

My 9 games.

Please do not scream into The Abyss. It is not a supported use case. If you must scream, please use The Void¹. The Abyss is for staring into only². 1 - Similarly, please do not stare into The Void. 2 - Warning: The Abyss may stare back.

This is really shitty behaviour. On the left, Duck 2 by Devious Machines released some 6 months ago after months of hard work and design (I helped beta-test it and know the people behind it). On the right, SideKick by Sonic Academy released this week. #vst #plugin #ripoff #slop #poundshopduck

I've reached that point in life where the most exciting thing to happen recently is I bought a new vacuum cleaner. 🤣😭 But damn; Germans know how to engineer a quality product!

Eugh, this annoys me no end. Suddenly everyone thinks they're an expert on how my software works and/or a developer, send me 500 words of bullshit I have to waste my time reading to realise it was all hallucinated horse shit 🤡

Yes, you can make so much software, but what quality does it have? A non-developer has absolutely zero clue if what the clanker output is good enough despite it "working" (spoiler alert: it's often not) Adding "skill" in the list of restraints removed by digital photography is odd to say the least.

I feel like I was a much better developer 6 months ago. Now I feel like I'm a robot manager, and it's not what I signed up for.

Of course they want you to flag if it's wrong. Why pay humans to do the RL when you can get your suckers, sorry - users, to do it for free.

macOS 27 🤮

If it had been 5-600€ I wouldn't have hesitated <take-my-money.jpg> At 1049€ for the base model, yeah nah...

Excellent meta-joke!

Next up: colon cancer -> poop chute cancer

I've laughed at this for three minutes straight

<excitement noises>

Starting to get a bit excited about getting my #ZXSpectrum #Next from @specnext.com Still at minimum 6 weeks probably, 'til I get my grubby little mitts on it, but feeling a bit like 12yr old me in November 1987 when I knew I was getting a mouse for my 48k rubber key special for Christmas!

What GIF pops up when you type your name?

We are organizing a demoscene art gallery exhibit in Almada during October. Alongside the exhibit there are openings for talks / workshops / demoshows / live sessions. We are looking for demosceners to come to Almada in October and present their art and craft to a small audience.
