  Pretty Cool! I mean separate applications exist for these features, and I love each of these, but having an all-in-one. I really enjoy Nicco's work in general (those that use Plasma for their desktop know why). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFAO3b0AeZ0

  Another absolute banger of an LP from Ibibio Sound Machine! Naturally grabbed it as soon it was released. Happy my local record store carried it, and got in the green smoke vinyl. Awesome. #ibibiosoundmachine #afrofunk https://ibibiosoundmachine.bandcamp.com/album/chopping-mountain

  Okay, how the fuck did I mangle youtube so much that the algo is showing me Circassian wedding dances?

  Yes, it is unprofessional to bring a beverage of any kind (or food) to a job interview. Who TF raised gen Z? Caffeinate before hand, or after, or once you get the job. Pretending you have a right to caffeinate during an interview is ridiculous.

  we need Captain Kirk more than ever - he always managed to get AIs to self-destruct by simply giving them over-dramatic pauses.

  The fucknut IT director who tried to blame me (a contracted web developer) for security deficiencies in their hosting provider setup (which IT had set up and I never had responsibility over) phased me out of work at this particular organization citing "security concerns". Fast forward over a year since I've worked with them - they only this morning removed my access to their accounts, I found out via an email. Call me crazy, I don't think the security concerns were anything t...

  Okay - I just listened to 1.5 hours to hear a 2 second announcement from Coffee Stain that yes there will be Satisfactory DLC called "Core Values" and it won't be ready this year. Just saved you 90 minutes of watching the stream. #Satisfactory

  Many people are getting error code 5008 in Star Citizen, preventing one from even installing the game. The error has been logged on the issue council, supported by over a hundred people, and it's been sitting at "confirmed" for a YEAR. CIG - you have raised a billion fucking dollars. If you don't have people working on solving serious, game breaking bugs like this one, you should be in prison for fraud.

  wow #Kurzgesagt made a new channel! Seems to be about cool, overlooked stories from history. It brings with it their usual thorough research, excellent writing, charismatic voice-over work and a new and different art style from what we are used to from them that looks so lovely! Best of all - no AI slop! despite them being recently erroneously flagged (and since exonerated). Here's the story I caught tonight "The most powerful pirate in history". So cool! https://www.youtube.c...

  So Hank Green has been outed for overusing AI in his work. Okay that sucks, whatever. He's taken responsibility for it and vowed to do better. I feel he's sincere in this. Unfortunately, now every useless youtuber is going to slag his name despite them never having made (or ever will make) any useful educational content, which Hank Green is known for. Tiresome.

  I dislike the modern youtube practice of putting a clip of the most exciting part of the video at the front before the introduction. What's the point in watching the video then?

  Still enjoying "The Lost Era" Star Trek novels. I'm always tickled by characters I had forgotten about making an appearance, even as side or incidental characters. This time it was Alidar Jarok, known as "Admiral Jarok" in the TNG season 3 episode "The Defector". The book takes place several years before the D is launched, so he is still a prominent war hero on Romulus, but the dialogue shows the seeds of his doubts. Really cool! Played by James Sloyan, Jarok...

  Once again Rick Beato blows us away with another amazing interview - this time with DOMi and JD Beck. Some of the quirkiest fusion I've ever heard. I loved their last album and now they have another coming in two days! #jazz #fusion #RickBeato https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGLFJ685Ins

  to anyone who uses iOS with a self-hosted calDAV/cardDAV server (like nextcloud) an important gotya: You need to set your certificates' lifetimes to be <397 days, or apple shits the bed and refuses to admit it's signed. The reminders app just failed to work. No error, nothing. Took me two hours to find out why. I thought I was being clever by setting long expiry times, since it's all just on my LAN anyway, and I hate messing with openssl.

  The entitlement of some recent #Linux adopters is really staggering. They still don't understand neither Linux nor "the community" owe them a damn thing. With freedom comes responsibility.

  I just saw a youtube video float by about a couple that purchased a cabin on a cruise ship. To live. Permanently. Um. that's all fun an games until ebola comes on board. If there's one thing I've learned about cruise ships in the last six years - they are excellent incubators for disease.
