As my Irish mother-in-law would say. "What do you expect from a pig, but a grunt..."

A different perspective. Always helpful.

It's really strange to watch the people who got rejected from this platform sweatily try to sell the idea that the site is dead. It's the exact same incel energy they tried to peddle here -and precisely the reason why they did not have a good time here in the first place. Ignore them.

the HDD Synth sounds so real, it's pretty incredible!

When AMD's Pentium competitor faltered, it changed course, made an acquisition, and followed up with the very successful K6. AMD had trouble keeping up with demand, a problem they weren't used to having. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing dfarq.homeip.net/amd-k6-relea...

I watched The Fifth Element last night. I think it's one of the best one off sci fi rom com action movies ever made. It kills me that it was made 30 years ago.

So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles? it just like me fr fr

Good boy. ❤️

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

I’m giving an honest go to watercolours and I think I absolutely love it! It’s way more chill than oil paint and more compact than gouache or acrylic. I’m having a lot of fun 💃

Jesus... What a day, washing machine stopped draining, no clog, it's the damn pump! Watched a few videos and clown me, though, I can do that! It was not easy to get to it or remove it. I thought do I test it?

America was NOT defending itself, it was attacking, the aggressor. That’s NOT what NATO is for. It’s not a pack of wild dogs out to maul someone, it’s a herd of elephants that stick together to defend the weaker members of the alliance. Trump has Marco so twisted.

Joanne Woodward was an Oscar winner for ‘The Three Faces of Eve’ (1957). But when this photo was taken her husband - PAUL NEWMAN - had never won one, so, she made one for him and called it ‘Noscar’ (No Oscar). Here she is presenting it to him at their home in 1958.

Egg sandwich for lunch today.

I had a friend who taught ethics and she showed episodes of Star Trek (TOS) to illustrate points she made in her class. When I watched the episodes as a child, I knew that Star Trek was political and showing me a very different world than the one I lived in. I wanted that future. Still do.

Interesting to see this 1947 test screen with Marlon Brando for the film "Rebel Without a Cause." Brando, of course, would later epitomize mid-century American masculinity. He was 23-years-old here.

A piece of artwork by Takehiro Fukushima featured on a Japanese magazine. Removed logo/text, taking very few liberties, and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

“When homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you asshole” —Nick Offerman, his response to people bitching about his character being gay in The Last of Us.

My Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-586HX 2.01) has a 4 pin PS/2 connector for the mouse, pinned 1 - vcc 2 - gnd 3 - dat 4 - clk But what in the world is this? Are there any conventions on the colors? I'd have expected red for VCC and black for GND but there is no black and I have no idea about the rest.

I found a 2001 Dell PC at a thrift store for $5 in really good shape and it’s ALIVE I assume I might need an older keyboard to set this thing up. My modern gaming keyboard doesn’t work lol

How would you tackle this one @thunderowl.one?

I will have to do something about this case some time. The speakers are absolute dogshit and I don't know if the equalizer still works, because these little LEDs in the dark fields above it are supposed to indicate loudness on each side, but only the bottommost will glow. This is how it should look.

Rhiannon, a Welsh goddess of fertility, birds, and the Otherworld, is associated with singing birds. Her birds are often described as enchanted, capable of waking the dead or lulling the living to sleep. Art my own. #FlyDay #Birds #WelshMythology #Finch #OriginalArt

okay, work is finished and the weekend starts here! i'm at home, chilling with the hounds, and about to catch up on some recent releases. #nowwatching send help (2026), which i had hoped to catch at the cinema, but life got in the way.

every artist should study maquettes. It's hard to find them irl, but places like sketchup and artstation often have 3d-rotate-able sculpts for you to study. I try to envision everything I draw in this way

Gotta love the Yamaha SW1000 XG. youtu.be/L0gCCAIiDQY?... It's a MIDI only card, and maybe even a little late to the party, but it sounds audibly better than even the DB50XG and SW60XG cards. It's on par with high end MIDI modules of the nineties, just listen to this!

Damn that was a nice article, back then I barely knew about what was all about all these Intel 486 clones, just that Intel was better an more expensive. 😬 What came after 486? dfarq.homeip.net/what-came-af... via @siliconundergro.bsky.social

Dave disdains modern floppy drive replacements, loves spinning magnetic media. Special guest @adriansdigitalbasement.com asks if Dave's truly all-in! It's Commodore news, a breakdown of controller port diversity, 21 hours with game design legends, and more in Episode 261, streaming Saturday!

I replaced the 13 inch Orion CRT with the 27 inch Somy Trinitron in my computer room because this TV is fucking beautiful. Look how razor sharp and vibrant this TV is. Beans has never looked this good.

Ahh yes, nothing says “let kids be kids” like “using fancy calligraphy to sign checks.” Why, I remember when I signed my first check at the age of 8, using a fountain pen made of whale femur and ink from a Humboldt squid

New thread: I received the bestest package from @jeffchen.bsky.social (and, indirectly, @aergan.com). It arrived neatly packaged and here are the contents, which I will show and describe in more detail below!
