    If I had a dollar for every time VS code had a non-AI related bullet point in the release notes in the past months, I would have 0 dollars.

    Watching Star Trek Voyager with my partner, at Season 5 now and it&amp;#39;s so enjoyable. Lots of great episodes, I wish there was still Star Trek like that. TNG will always be my fav but VOY is a close second. DS9 is great but a bit too dark for my taste sometimes.

    It&#39;s hard to put into words, but does anyone else miss that cozy feel software used to have? Like.. MS Office 95-XP. You could really feel that people took care and pride in the code. FOSS Software still has that feel, but I can&#39;t think of much commercial software that feels like care went into the UX. I once read a paper about all the research and user testing done for the Windows 95 UI. And it stood the test of time imho.

    I made a very cursed and unsafe contraption to cut foam. It consists of an electric knife, wood and whatever I had lying around.

    Working on important things. This will be a pooltoy and possibly a figurine at some point! If you&#39;re like &quot;I must have one&quot;, poke me and I&#39;ll let you know how pre-ordering works!

    Just found a beige whale on eBay: An Aironet (before Cisco bought it) Wireless AP with matching Cardbus card, both from 1999. I always wanted to make a pre-2000 wireless network! It&#39;s not officially 802.11b yet, but compatible! For 10$ a steal :)

    If you use genAI in any shape or form in your art process, I&amp;#39;m not interested. Also please unfollow me.

    Just treated myself to watching another recently discovered lost episode of Computer Chronicles, the Upside Internet Showcase 1998. I&amp;#39;d love to get my hands on 90s issues of Upside Magazine sometime, sadly there&amp;#39;s almost nothing archived. https://archive.org/details/cc1545_theinternetshowcase98

    Hey Fediverse, what is your best-practice for storing old phones/batteries I&amp;#39;d want to keep? I was thinking: used metal ammunition box, then each phone/battery inside a LiPo safe sleeve.

    I will never get tired of this piece of art, and hopefully will find out one day who the artist was (not credited anywhere, only dead ends so far).
