I’m rewatching old Star Trek episodes to see which ones pass the B’kdel Test:
(1) Two named Klingons
(2) Talking to each other
(3) About something other than honor

@nikitonsky blackening out the top and moving the menu bar DOWN? thats insane. I do blackout the menubar to make the notch blend into it, but the menu is still aligned with it so its not wasting pixels!

Predictable. The Australian government is (at long last) seriously considering a tax on natural gas export. Only at 25% vs Norway's 78%, but hey I'll take anything.

But here comes the IEA suggesting the poor little mining companies won't like it. "Energy investors are like butterflies. When […]

A ★★★★★ review of Possession (1981) "ooh what's this? An early 80s horror movie with a young Sam Neill? This looks like fun!"... ...it was not fun. In fact I was completely unprepared for the brutal onslaught of emotional agony that was unleashed upon me. The start with, in the opening minutes I was thinking "Wait... Sam Neill is a good actor, why is he being so over the top and melodramatic here?" He was emotional voicing that was almost operatic in style. "This is weird it has to be on purpose, but I don't like it at all" I thought. Then others did the same

I watched the movie Possession yesterday and holy fucking shit what the fuck. Finally managed to get a review up https://letterboxd.com/bed42/film/possession/

Ghost's Activity Pub Support As promised last year, Ghost did deliver Activity Pub support. I decided to wait longer and let other people figure out the magic that I needed, and as expected some other lovely people had sorted out and written up what needed to be done.

Finally got my self hosted Ghost setup with Activity Pub, now followable on the fediverse: @andrew 🎉

my favourite tv show of all time. Great release strategy! If you like scifi and have never seen it, well worth your time. Slow build.

Almost freaked out when I saw this, thought it could be a new VSCode feature.

Turns out, it's a special ligature feature of the Maple Mono font https://font.subf.dev/

One of the many gifts we got out of the Epstein files is details of Steve Sinofsky’s exit from Microsoft in 2012. We learn that the Surface RT was selling only 10% of the low-end of their predicted sales numbers, he was being pushed out, and Epstein was coaching him on negotiating an exit […]

I recently finished The Drifter - absolutely one of the best p&c adventures ever. Gorgeous pixel art, great story, good logical puzzles, with excellent voice acting - and all of it being Australian made was awesome to see (and hear - Aussie accents are so rare in computer games). I’d you enjoy […]

2001 frames bot account showing the bone about to jump cut into a space station.

It's about to happen. The most famous jump cut in cinematic history. It's actually going to happen. I can't believe it. The suspense is killing me! (Follow along here --> @2001)

The Keynote 14.4 icon is open in Pixelmator. Guidelines have been added showing the horizontal and vertical centerlines of the image. The vertical guideline cuts directly through the center of the pie chart on the lectern, pixel-perfect.

A screenshot of the Creator Studio Keynote icon is open in Pixelmator. Guidelines have been added showing the horizontal and vertical centerlines of the image. The vertical guideline cuts noticeably to the left of the centerline of the pie chart, emphasizing the fact that no effort whatsoever was made to make it look like a real, functional pie chart that actually represented something.

So I was looking at the Creator Studio icons again—don't ask why—and suddenly I noticed something. But no. Surely it couldn't be.

But it is. The Keynote icon went from a six-part pie chart to a two-part pie chart, and they managed to off-center the chart's […]

Bottom line: you bring me aboard your web publishing or software team because there are many fires vying for your attention and I figure out which ones to put out first.

Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs. Dell is now shifting it focus this year away from being "all about the AI PC," because consumers aren't interested. A surprisingly honest admission from one of Microsoft's biggest PC partners. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/857723/...
