This is perhaps somewhat entitled of me, but I am not going to commit to your modular storage system if it requires some weird hardware that apparently can only be reliably sourced from one place. M2.5 square nuts in a particular size that doesn’t appear conform to an actual standard? Ugh.

Everybody wants to create their own system because that gets people coming back for more downloads and points, but if you’re going to do that your hardware choices should be accessible. #3DPrinting

I'm hiring for two roles; hybrid, UK-only. A junior Ruby-on-Rails developer looking to step up to the next level of their career & similarly a front-end dev:

Charanga's platform is used worldwide to make music teaching and learning more impactful, engaging and accessible.

We’re launching a new stand-alone platform to support one of the UK’s most prestigious arts institutions, and both roles will be working on this.

Boosts appreciated!

MORNING!

Reports indicate that Elon Musk wants to take a step back from politics because everyone is mean to him.

You heard it here first kids, bullying works.

Good evening Mastodon, from me and the heron that posed very nicely for me this afternoon. Bit busy with STUFF at the moment so I am trying to channel its calm elegance and dignity. I am not succeeding, but not to worry. :TotoroDanca:

@GossiTheDog This is no ordinary cyber incident. This is a M&S cyber incident

good for her

Did you leave your Wii at the #EMF2024 Swap Shop?

If so, it's now hosting my blog:

Huge credit to @jmcwhatever for the effort porting NetBSD to the Wii!

also this page on colour contains one of the few grumpy comments in the zine, it might not make it into the final version tbh because I think being a curmudgeon is boring

People told me to spend Easter in the spirit of Jesus. So I got hammered.

Someone in the Vatican: jd vance is coming to see you.

Pope Francis: Tell him I died.

Someone: But sir, we'll have to fake your death

Pope Francis: *packing suitcase* Did I fucking stutter.

Four years ago we introduced this #curl graph

Blessed be the AI makers.

Developing thought: highly "successful" people who thrive in a dysfunctional society would be sociopaths & psychopaths in a fully-functional society.

lol, no

In other news, I think I'm going to be able to make a delightfully silly cyberdeck thing with this old kid's toy. The black square is a full 720x720 display that entirely fits within the "screen" recess, and still leave room for the punch cards to be inserted behind it. Originally those determined which of 64 different sequences the buttons had to be pushed in, to teach counting or words or whatever the card had printed on it. In mine, that will be what accesses different modes. Want to see the weather report? Insert the weather report card. I think it might actually be an interesting experiment in a more deliberate, intentional form of mobile computing.
