Go watch a windows 7 video. It’s Liquid Glass, but windows. It’s so obvious! Peak windows.

Dear Microsoft, if you want me to use Windows 11, here's the deal. - AI: optional - Cloud services: optional - Automated Telemetry: Fuck right off - No sponsored pre-isntalled apps ...and skin it like Windows XP. I want the old stuff but better, not bloated with stuff you want and I don't.

@ovohydro.bsky.social this sign blocking my view is the absolute worst. Add a “restricted view” label next time? It’s RIGHT at center stage 👎

Here's a thought - instead of having your AI submit PRs against OSS, have them fork the repo, and make the changes there. That's true open source. If your changes are demonstrably better, others may choose your version. Or not. And that is up to them.

If AI "enhancements" to products are so good, they should be opt-in, because everyone would do it, and you could prove the market. But they're not. They're opt-out (where there's even a choice) to inflate usage and get someone their bonus.

Now THAT'S how you do a speech.

UK would do better to suck it up and come back committed to the EU than be left stuck with shit on its nose.

That voice in your head, the one that says "Yes, you SHOULD buy that new amp" - has anyone ever successfully ignored it?

F every small service that requires an email code or sms message to log in. Such a distracting workflow, and I'm raging by the time I finally get to do what I was trying to do.

Not a villa fan, but good on them.

🚨New Video Incoming!🚨 Introduced by our very own @spiral90210.bsky.social, this one means a lot to us Can you guess what it is from just six notes? #ivgo #orchestra #vgm www.youtube.com/shorts/GhvGg...

Tylenol will be bad for pregnant women? I bet there's a super more expensive alternative that will be 'just great', and somehow it's only the cheap medication that's a problem...

"Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says" Never saw that coming.

Really could do with some 'slow' USB type C hubs. I've a 7 port 3.0 type A hub on my desk, and it was cheap (mostly for 2.0 speed peripherals). Good luck getting that with type C ports. Not everything needs to be 40Gbps, some just need 5v 480Mbps :(

Expedition 33 resetting menu positions when you’re losing the minigame is more frustrating than losing the minigame.

Apple naming macOS after American landmarks puts me off. I miss the big cats.

Anyone putting shit into orbit should be paying an annual tax per piece, emissions dependent, to ESA/IAU/NASA (if it gets its teeth back) while it's still up there so there's funding to get research off planet and out of the interference it causes.

War Criminal.

"AI Features" are driving up the prices of a bunch of tools I use, and I don't want them. Of couse, there's no opt-out of these "great new features". Oh no.

OpenAI Study mode. It's going to be an amazing tool, but I think we've been here before; I've a hunch it's going to be pushed to kids/schools as hard as MS did with Word back in the day, so the new workforce will demand their tools, not others.

Half Life is the greatest FPS ever made.

I find Apple's naming of modern macOS versions a little un-relatable. California is lovely, but it's not as cool as big cats.

I’m thinking this for the next gig…

This shit is exactly why I think current AI is a privacy nightmare: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... If you're using AI to help yourself figure things out, and it's between you and it, it should fucking stay that way. Police communications, not 'individual tooling'.

Webcomics are dead. At least the ones I used to read, anything out there?

X-MS-Exchange-* headers are a blight. Complete waste of bandwidth. Presigned url cache in headers? Keep it inside your org.

WALL-E really is the future, isn't it?

If anyone ever read posts you wrote but never published, you're probably be a bit scundered. Social media platforms with AI have. And you can bet they use that to profile and manipulate you. We need MASSIVE privacy laws for protection when working on AI on anything unpublished. Like, go to jail.

Breaks my heart a bit when you know a band that SHOULD have been huge, and it never happened 😭

Of course it's 5ths. The semitones were lying to me.

I swear to god if they released an expansion (NOT a remake) of Goldeneye 007 tomorrow I would insta buy it. One of the best VGM soundtracks ever made.

Do you remember loading up the N64 and seeing Pierce Brosnan as James Bond? Enjoy the theme from #Goldeneye! Thanks to @grantkirkhope.bsky.social for this awesome music, arranged by @spiral90210.bsky.social Introduced by the amazing @samanthabeart.bsky.social ♥️ #vgm 🎮🎧 youtu.be/1ZPR-i51S_I

Here's a little teaser of Goldeneye by @grantkirkhope.bsky.social, arranged by @spiral90210.bsky.social with a few extra strings added on top by me. More to come soon, make sure to follow @ivgorchestra.com and subscribe on YouTube 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Euj... #vgm #gamemusic 🎮🎧

I don’t need anything, but I do love the local shopper mag

I wish I could like, geo bias my feed . Not that I don’t like Americans, but I would love a lot more local/music stuff, and basically no us politics or complaining about twitter lol

Bloody Luca Goers.

Why is every Facebook ad to me about solar panels lol

Wafers, of any kind, have NO place in a biscuit tin.

Anyone got an mac mini they want to part with? Would need a min 16GB RAM and Apple Silicon chip.

The faceless accounts are starting to appear, blocking all of them as I see them because who wants that noise.

When you're on the phone with a company, and the person sounds very professional throughout, then ends with "Buh-Bye" I love it 😂

I can mute words in Bluesky? Goodbye American drama.

If someone could remake links awakening as snes ALTTP I would be so into that.

The saddest thing about dogs is they don’t purr.
