Reminder: The US has a long history of overthrowing leaders in Latin America only to install even worse ones (all while stealing natural resources and ignoring their new shell leader's human rights violations).

Absolutely obscene actions by our own illegitimate Government tonight, a giant fuck you to the absolute pond life that voted for this. Folks in Venezuela, please be safe. >.<

A quite awesome individual has archived the entire six week run of WSQK and packaged it on a very nice lil website, worth checking out! :D livinghuman.host/wsqk/

The finale of Stranger Things was very good, you should watch it. :3

As much as we can we implement new features without new hardware - and androda has done it again over this holday break: 🎶 💿 CD #Audio support in all #BlueSCSI's is coming soon! You'll need a DAC, they're cheap and we'll make one that fits nicely on old devices too: mastodon.social/@TechByAndro...

If you're sad Stranger Things is over, go check out my latest upload to Internet Archive. That radio station in Stranger Things? Yeah they actually ran it in the UK as a pop-up station on DAB, and here's a 30 hour recording. archive.org/details/glob...

This year has been a giant mixed bag. Those that know me, the latter half of 2024 blew up much of my life and 2025 has been slowly rebuilding it. I think mentally I'm in a better place, but professionally I am struggling. I'm really hoping for some opportunities to come up in '26, fml I need em.

Thrown myself into Blender the last few days and managing to gain some extra skills before the end of the year! |3

I have only one resolution this year. 256×192

Why IBOC (HD Radio) sucks in one picture. I miss DAB. ;w;

Hrm 40 minute power outage to cap off Boxing Day, how about that?

Gosh I love wine gums

Awoof, thank you for all the well wishes everyone! ;w;

Fucking passed, that exam was HARD, and this poor dog was stressed.v.v

Well, fun day tomorrow, both me and @azimuth.dragonwolf.io are taking the same cert exam. Am more nervous than I expected to be! ;w;

Would you like a Mazda Demio in these trying times? :3

LinkedIn is basically just AI LLMs talking to each other at this point. It is quite a sight to behold.

I propose a solution to our ongoing RAM shortage:

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the designers were working on THAT

What an absolute unit

I am le tired

Thanks to GPU passthrough I've finally got the WS4000 Simulator running in a VM. Annoyingly, they've yoinked the Linux build of the simulator so it's running under wine. Aaaand for some reason wine-gecko doesn't wanna work so no weather data (yet!)

Okay, but for real, what on earth is a Dragon Administrator? I feel like this is a custom role I added when I was drunk 8 years ago or something!?

One of the shittiest video cards I have ever used, let’s see if it is the one that will let me run the WS4000 in a VM. Not holding my breath on this one…

My head feels like it’s going to explode most of the time with all the shit I have to keep track of. @.@

If you’re a Canadian resident and dealing with billing issues with your Telco, raising a CCTS complaint will do wonders. Telus tried incorrectly billing me $450 after failing to action a account closure in April, it’s now $0 owing! Yay!

So fun story, this is a Quantum ProDrive 40S that I had long considered FUBAR’ed, it has had its top casing off for THREE YEARS, and with a bit of TLC to the head bumpers and loosing up the head a bit, as well as running for a few hours, and well, IT WORKS!

A local association of folks in the professionals/business communities do three morning coffee meetups a week and they have been -amazing- for me. God did I need to get out of the house and actually talk to people. @.@

Be jealous of Rocky, who gets to sleep this Wednesday afternoon.

Only took me and Azi 4 years but we finished this puzzle!

Line must go up :U

Better late than never but we’ve finally gotten a 3D printer! \o/

Hope everyone's having fun at MFF, do avoid that con crud, it's absolute murder. xD

If you could name one person who ABSOLUTELY exemplified the title of "True Macintosh enthusiast," who would you say? <nods head slowly> Sure. Yes. Absolutely. All excellent choices! Here's an interview with 65Scribe instead. youtu.be/xwV6flbqQzI

It’s not you, the labor market is absolute garbage right now. I’m hoping the Supreme Court will strike down these stupid fucking tariffs that are absolutely kneecapping this country. Not holding my breath though…

Man my energy levels have been whack this week. A simple trip to get 3D printer filament up in Surrey, BC has left me exhausted. @.@

AziBytes is now live on Twitch: ONWARD! With whatever we were doing 2 weeks ago! God of War: Ragnarök [18+] (God of War Ragnarök) https://www.twitch.tv/azibytes

This really shouldn't be possible, but here we are. A Mac Mini G4 running System 7.1 on bare metal. This is genuinely ridiculous. Watch the stream VoD to see it in action (SSW7 booted up for the first time at the 3hr45m mark) www.twitch.tv/videos/26355...

NOW LIVE: We're doing some stuff that Apple absolutely did not plan on us doing! twitch.tv/RetroHoosk

Mark does some AMAZING work preserving filmstrips, alongside VHS tapes and other kinds of media. Please consider donating to his efforts to help archive and preserve this volatile media format... he's the only one in the world doing it! 🎞️ ❤️ uncommonephemera.org/donate/

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Seeing the federal department responsible for handling immigration cases in the US call for remigration, which in effect is ethnic cleansing is fucking sickening These bastards are fucking racist fascists and they fucking are owning it.

Just found this today, some really neat WeatherStar and WeatherScan simulations in the web browser can be found here! Open source too! weatherscan.net weatherstar.dev

I don’t think I’ve had such a massive ‘fuck you’ from a game before. @.@ A winning streak for 8 turns and lose everything on the last two and the game calls me number one for luck. Dx

Re last repost: one of the things I most detest about AI is that we as a species are going to lose objective reality in what we see and hear. Facts, evidence, art, everything, it will be a point we can’t separate real from fake. Lies beget more lies. I miss fun technology. ;w;

The fact that you now can't trust basically any form of media is one of the worst parts of AI. Not just drawings, but pictures, video, text, even whole identities. You have to vet everything to a more significant degree, and its exhausting. Did we have to vet stuff before? Yeah, but not like this.
