My dad (@unclelar.bsky.social) came up from Kentucky this weekend and brought me some delicacies from that southern land! Love the original flavor, excited to try the blackberry.

I did the thing! Have you?

You’re stuck in the last movie you watched… (Answer with a GIF)

Friendly reminder that it's Bandcamp Friday! The day when Bandcamp waives their revenue share and passes it on to the bands. A great day to give some money to real artists in this AI-era hellscape.

"Has SAG voice actors" Cool, what about the people who would normally run the cameras and lighting? What about the costume and set designers? The special effects artists? The stunt performers? What about all the other jobs on a real film that are absent with this slop?

rest easy nala :(

Happy new years, folks! Hope it's a better one than last.

Anyone looking for an alternative to Spotify, might I suggest buying your music directly from the artist if possible via Bandcamp or the artist's own website, or streaming via service that pays a higher percentage out to artists, like Qobuz.

Fuck it man, while you’re at it take the catalytic converters off, bring back leaded gas, maybe it’ll make me stupid enough I won’t give a shit anymore

Me being told by the developer that no, they will not accept my 60's blueprints, $75000 for an 8000 square foot plot is barely a tenth the value of the land and to leave the site immediately because I'm trespassing. (2025)

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

good riddance to this racist piece of shit who destroyed everything he touched

Yay, snagged a new computer! Grabbed this out of surplus at work today. Case won't open, but that's an issue for future me. (As is where I'm going to store the dang thing)

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways? aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

oh they're getting info on everyone's medications too, so we can easily repurpose this into a giant list of people on adderall and HRT to put in the Blood and Soil camps

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

I wish Warren Zevon were alive to write a song called “Busted At A McDonald’s In Altoona.”

Have you ever seen this mock-up of Windows 95 Mobile?

I did the thing, and you should too!

My window unit A/C died, so now I'm at the mercy of my landlord to get it replaced. Luckily I'm in a basement unit, so it's not as hot as it could be, but... 🫠

Hey fellow USians, if you’ve been suffering with the ADHD shortage the government would like to hear from you on the subject in the next 60 days. (This message will be periodically repeated.)

Hey, people. Foone Turing (the "I go way too deep into computer investigations of vintage tech" person) has indicated they're officially laid off, and running out of money while trying to find a new job. If you have a job, hit them up. Otherwise, please throw some dollars: ko-fi.com/fooneturing

If there's anyone that follows me interested in picking up any of the UNIX workstations from my collection (and is in the Chicago area, as I don't want to ship), hit me up.

Sure enough, my account over at Spoutible was one of the ones affected by this. I've gone ahead and changed the password over there. www.troyhunt.com/how-spoutibl...
