The laptop that I bought in 2023 is running increasingly hot, to the point where I can barely use it. I've cleaned out the fans as best as I can, but without taking them out there's only so much you can do, and taking them out seems like a lot of hassle. So I ringed the shop where I bought it […]

Thanks for everyone who watched along! We came in 3rd with our song "Koala" 🥳 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heciiA3U-Vc

Hello! It's Morlvision ~right now~ the yearly online song contest hosted by Sean Morley. 28 international music acts are taking part, one of which is me! Come check it out if you like: www.twitch.tv/seanmorl

I love this skit I saw today on the Dutch phenomenon of "interessantdoenerij" (literally: "doing interesting"). When someone is trying to make themselves seem more interesting than they are in order to get some attention... that's interessantdoenerij. It's very frowned up on and seem as a waste […]

We've got a lot of strawberries coming!

Really enjoying this 2023 interview with Bill Wurtz (the "history of the entire world, i guess" guy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFLyMGbQkms

Enjoying the shade until the sun reaches full blast

I just chatted with an AI assistant about an issue with my laptop and it suggested... I get in touch with customer support. I thought that's what I was doing!

OK, I asked a while back about people using #dos. Are there people out there writing code on DOS? What version of DOS and what languages? What are some good hashtags for reaching a DOS developer community? #retrocomputing

The Dutch language has different words for "head" (human) and "head" (animal), "hoofd" and "kop" respectively. Growing up in the Netherlands, I thought this was normal. I knew English doesn't have this distinction, but I assumed other languages do. Well, I just looked into it in German, French […]

Broadband internet in the Netherlands is generally pretty fast and reliable, no complaints there really. But what annoys me is there are no cheap options! If you are able to pay 30 euro or more per month, you can get 50 mbit or faster, which I suppose is fine for a lot of people. But what if […]

Fits on a Floppy: A Manifesto for Small Software https://fitsonafloppy.com/ « Software should be as small as it can be. Not as a gimmick, but as a discipline. The floppy disk is the measuring stick: 1.44 MB. If the software that ran entire businesses could fit in that space, then a modern […]

I'll by attempting my first IRL stream within the next hour showing a cute little chapel on a lake in Austria. It's a test for my setup so we'll see how that goes. Hope some of you can drop in: 😊🦄✨ https://twitch.tv/pixelprophecy

Replaced the windscreen wipers on my car, ama

I just got to our storage box (we rent a storage box) and they changed the access from a key fob to an app. The key fob reader was removed altogether and I have no idea which app to even install. I swear to god, I'm this 🤏close to being a total outcast who has no understanding of society.

TIL NOFX's 2000 album "Pump Up The Valuum" opens with different lyrics, based on whether you bought it on CD, vinyl or cassette 🤯 CD lyrics: Hello, welcome to our CD Can you hear the blatant similarity to Linoleum and Shadows of Defeat? Vinyl lyrics: Hello, welcome to our disc Turn it louder […]

Another short piano tune. Hope you'll enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/stefanbohacek/ambition?in=stefanbohacek/sets/piano #piano #moody #soundtrack #music #newmusic

I took part in an online event called "Coverfest" where people were invited to make covers of well-known songs. I made three! They're all as different from the original as I could manage hahah You can listen to them here if you like: https://martijnfrazer.bandcamp.com/album/coverfest-2026

My racing game hot take is you should start with the crazy fast vehicles and then work your way down to unlocking the slow clunkers as you progress, because driving the latter is actually way more fun and desirable than the former, so it only makes sense to have this way around.

I came up with the term "inclusive front" to mean the band of people who care about the web's inclusivity. It's a play on words; we largely work on the front end, but I feel we're also like a political 'popular front' ( […] [Original post on front-end.social]

I'm playing Neofeud 2 and it's excellent. https://silverspook.itch.io/neofeud2

Just listened to this absolutely lovely album by @rdg_music. Here's how I'd describe it: gorgeous, lush, tremolo-laden, physical, clean solo electric guitar wielded by an excellent guitarist playing spacious, patient, sublime arrangements If that sounds like your thing, maybe it's a good […]

Dreamt that my teeth fell out, cool cool cool

It's good to see a big gear tuber like Starsky Carr make a video about just enjoying music. I avoid his videos these days unless there's something specific he's looking at that I'm interested in, because I kinda hate videos that are shilling products. But he really is an engaging, sweet-seeming […]

Bluesky's technical director, user "why.bsky.team" is a massive AI fan and last night has blocked some 300k users that were on some "ai haters" list. And yours truly is among them 🥳

In a chat I'm in some people were discussing the website of this restaurant: http://www.mrbruce.karoo.net which is apparently designed some time in the mid 2000s. Someone noticed there's a MIDI file linked in the source code. So I downloaded it and rendered it to an mp3. It's... hard to […]

Someone is making English subtitled versions of Flemish reality TV game "De Mol" available through their ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/X8X4WFNXE/posts So if you want, you can watch along! De Mol is easily my favourite TV show that's on right now.

Rewatched The Thing (1982). Still amazing.

Did another fun 6x6 sudoku variant puzzle just now that I think is doable for beginners, quite fun imho! https://sudokupad.app/adventure/1052-tkt

Yes BlueSky is often down, but at least it's not properly decentralised so alternative BlueSky networks are also down.

This is great: 4 days ago the YouTube channel of Merle Hazard (who had a viral hit in 2019 with his comedy song "(Gimme Some of That) Ol' Atonal Music", about the son of an atonal composer) posted an interview with Larry Schoenberg, actual son of actual atonal composer Arnold Schoenberg 😅 […]

I used to just not care about LLM chatbots, but now I find myself actively enjoying not using them.

I tried to log into Steam. It said it would email me a 2fa code. It then took 10 minutes for the code to arrive and when I finally entered it, it said it had expired. So I try again and it send me a code immediately this time. Which did work. The 2nd code was, however, the exact same code as […]

I'm still really enjoying Horsey Game! Here are some of my currently best horses racing. You won't like it, but this is what scientifically optimal horses are like!
