I think steam is down? I cant launch it and it says failed to connect to servers :(

This is basically my experience with using LLMs in general - which is why I've turned off history on all the LLMs I use and always create new chats after 3-5 messages. It gets too overwhelming for me. Keeping the context window short is the only thing that keeps it digestible for me

@fplraptor.com I'm one the freaks that consumes nearly all content at a minimum 1.5x, but your GW16 guide podcast you spoke so fast I had tk reduce the speed to 1.2x!

Australia banning kids from YOUTUBE is crazy stuff. No way they manage to feasibly enforce this. I hope this isn't an extreme measure to make us feel an otherwise invasive measure feel rational

This is terrible for consumers, especially HBO fans. GG was a good ride

Shout out to the waveform crew! Watched I *think* nearly every video uploaded on to the channel all year! For what its worth, I like the chaos in the episodes and the side niche rants 😄😄 @davidimel.com @adammolina.com @mkbhd.com @andrewmanganelli.bsky.social @ellisellisellis.bsky.social

Gemini for home is so bad. How about they just fix the basics, like knowing when I'm home or not

Hoto Tools makes me want to get into a hobby that would make me use those tools. I have the screwdriver from blackfriday last year and it's become my favourite tool by FAR and I look for excuses to use it

It stresses me out that surveillance is becoming the norm and law everywhere and no one is caring enough because they think they have nothing to hide/don't care. Massively misunderstood why this is not good. Brexit was useless as the UK want this too bravenewcoin.com/insights/eus...

you know it’s a bad Cloudflare outage when it even takes out down detector 😅

Rosalia's Lux is genuinely the most beautiful sounding album I've listened to in a long time.

Bit the bullet and bought ON1 Pro Raw and honestly, it's been such a worth it purchase. I've been looking for a one-time purchase comprehensive photography editing and catalogue app across android, pc and mac that WORKS for SO LONG and it feels great to FINALLY FIND ONE.

Ah man, I love my roomba. It's one of the few pieces of tech that I have and just forget about. It always works, requires minimal maintanences and actually makes my life easier. Really hope they release something for local management if they go under www.theverge.com/news/817536/...

my only complaint is that NYC could only elect one mayor

“In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.” Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I'm so happy that there is finally a Muslim leader who is openly pushing back against antisemitism and islamaphobia. It genuinely gives me so much hope seeing a Muslim leader engaging so positively with the Jewish community and ACTUALLY creating a community

Absolute goals right there. I 100% would LOVE to be an 'aloof' husband that quietly steers campaigns from behind the scenes

Was eyeing the @proton.me unlimited plan only to see that it's 50% off for a year at the moment. Looks like my hand has been forced 😈

I've come across @graphiteeditor.bsky.social, which I will definitely be following and will look to use. The one thing I am missing now is a good lightroom equivalent. I want a good batch photo colour correcting application - I'm willing to pay! I just can't find one as smooth as lightroom

I've been a big advocate for Affinity Suite and have bought the suite for both V1 and V2. I'm quite happy to keep using Affinity V2. I WANT the new Affinity x Canva thing to be free and good, but I just don't trust it will be free forever. Eurgh.

Great music Friday. Aries drops what is probably one of my favourite songs by him in Anaesthesia, and Verzache drops his new album!

Liking this Github dashboard glowup

I would 100% use pitchfork as a site more if this was a thing. It will be like IMDb and it's actually a really important feature for me as I don't always agree/see art the way critics and reviewers do

I really want to like Rematch game but the ranked morde is so bad if you don't have a team to play with

I started this yesterday and I haven't had a game make me want to keep playing against all my real life world responsibilities in a while. I never considered that untreated ADHD might have an effect on the type of games I want to consume...I might have to revisit many other games I had dismissed

I don't know if it's me getting old or actually having my ADHD treated now, but slower games like No Man's Sky really appeal to me. My gaming style is really changing and I am now drawn more to the casual style and slow exploring games. Just bought No Man's Sky on the PS5, let's see if this stands

Seriously need to move away from Gmail forever, why is the search function SO bad? Fastmail is significantly better

With AWS servers down, this is a great reminder that the internet is ran by about 4 data centers. Genuinely worth learning about self hosting. I've been messing about with it for the last couple of months and it's been good fun. There are things that make it easy for everyone now

The voicemail notification is probably the most unreliable and annoying notification there is. It NEVER syncs with the actual status of my voicemail

Loving this Brighton team though. Nice to see the team chemistry finally clicking #BHANEW

Also I had Mateta for ages, why is he scoring now 😡😡 #FPL #PALBOU

Reijnders subbed at 59 mins...he's gotta go #FPL #MCIEVE

@strictlyfootball.bsky.social @ffscoutfpl.bsky.social @fplraptor.com @livefpl.net Can't DM you guys as I haven't verified my age on bsky, but wanted to thank you guys for posting about FPL/sport on bsky, with you guys regularly posting I feel less need to go on X

Strongly recommend this episode and @liberopodcast.bsky.social in general if you're into UK Football, or Football in general. One of the rare podcasts that actually discusses real football beyond the manic social media click bait topics

I repost this as genuinely as I can

Very suspicious activity from Beeper: I used (past tense) Beeper to aggregate various accounts and it was installed on my work laptop. I disconnected my personal Google Messages from my personal phone, and my IT Security team came to me saying they got a critical alert

We condemn the Islamophobic arson attack on an East Sussex Mosque. We advise the community to remain vigilant, but do not live in fear. We will continue to stand up for peace & justice, for our faith and for others, and for our home in this United Kingdom. #Islamophobia

I've tried to fight it for years, but I have given in to Safari on my Mac. I am getting old and just want a browser that works on 99.99% of websites but also does minor tracking blocking. I tried to fight the system of Apple locking out other developers but at the end of the day, I am a weak human

United winning in a game that is a "Do or Die" game for Amorim is peak United. Watch how they win this and they wither in poor performances for the next month or so, only for Amorim to be sacked around Christmas or New Years

Oooof didn't realise DHH was pro Tommy Robinson. Don't think I can carry on with using Hey. Found out just in time before my renewal - off to fastmail. Does help that they integrate with 1password as well!

Amazing evening with Aries last night! Can't wait for the album

We are deeply concerned by reports of a violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester today. We unequivocally condemn this act of violence.

Now that I don't have any reliance on the Xbox windows app for some of my games, I can go full Linux Pop OS on my PC. I am very much looking forward to having a lighterweight, smoother OS for gaming, development and general file management

I don't know how I feel about this...probably will end up cancelling my subscription if it's this expensive and I can't access the games I want to play

This new Gmail app update is stupid. Can't wait for the moment when one email banner uses up 5 screens worth of scrolling

Learning about Teal.fm on bluesky is why I keep coming back here. I've learnt about so many cool projects on here, many I am actively using (like penpot, duckdb!)

ARIES FREE CONCERT IN LONDON LETS GOOOOOOO

DJI have yet again released ANOTHER CAMERA that I would like to buy, taking on the insta mini camera. With the amount of DJI Accessories I have, I am at the point I can buy the main camera unit and I have everything I need...

My hot take as a developer is that I agree with this. Not everyone cares about setting up a docker container, or node/python environment or whatever to get your app up and running. I know it's easier said than done, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to not be able to do this
