Oh, my bad, saw others notice the problem with their mutuals feed, not sure if there's a replacement for the quiet feed yet

@skyfeed.xyz has one: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Not blocked (haven't interacted), feed works - being blocked by the creator does seem to stop their feeds too

Macintosh Classic (the Nintendo plug-and-play console kind)

ooh, I have had Ologies recommended, just forgot to put it on - any faves?

A little disappointed that this does not seem to do anything with the supplement marketing, IMO the best Infowars joke would be to sell big tubs of "Alpha Brain Force Plus" that you crack open only to find a healthy selection of fruits and vegetables

3. Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue

The saga stating bluntly when people are out of the story is unreasonably funny and "died on the way back to his home planet"-esque

We should have more art grants, but you should still have the option to recite a sick poem to the king and get a bunch of treasure

Been listening to any good ones?

Også her rammer inflasjonen: hver gang noen på alvor kaller seg selv eller andre femmere eller tiere, synker tallet deres littegrann

"Pixelvision video essay" is still available en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXL2000

2. "As kingfishers catch fire", Gerard Manley Hopkins

Good poetry, the accent orthography- "whát I dó is me" - is unusual but does lend itself to being read aloud

Honestly found the diary excerpts to flow better than the (still good) poetry

(... and I guess Manly _can_ just be your middle name)

Putting my readthrough of the Little Black Classics set into a separate thread - probably not going to be a lot of new observations here, honestly, this is just practicing writing a little bit more than just "I liked it"

It's time for some #books theory, (1/80)

Software installation getting streamlined with app stores, package managers, and game launchers is more convenient overall, but there was a charm to "let us show you how COOL this office suite/code editor is" installers

"Technically the strait is now open, it's just that the blockade now covers the rest of the world and every ship outside of it"

In fairness, IP packets also need an equivalent specification with "reserved/evil meow"

Death off the Cuff on Steam No criminal has ever been a match for you, and everybody is looking forward to a description of your brilliant deductions. There is just one small problem. One tiny detail that makes it different this...

Reminded of this IF game where the premise is that the detective hasn't actually figured out whodunit, and has to work it out while improvising the reveal store.steampowered.com/app/1481960/...

UNFOLLOWED AND BLOCKED

(I do agree on durability and I like my wireless headphones, but I'm still convinced the jack getting removed is why people listen on speaker at full volume on public transportation)

Website down, post SOUPE OPERAAAAAAAAAA

Book 1: excerpt with five of the stories in The Decameron, the translation by Hainsworth is pretty good, not overly modernized (I assume) but still readable

Was worried about getting side-eyed while reading it though, even with euphemisms and a few centuries past it's still pretty... bawdy

Putting all of these on Goodreads and making fun of the slowpokes who can't finish 40 books a month

The 80 books making up Penguin's Little Black Classics, including Dostoevsky's The Meek One, Poe's Tell-Tale Heart and The Communist Manifesto

Got the Little Black Classics box set because I'm bad with money

Team in Poland made a prototype of a deck of cards made with e-ink displays. Pretty neat!

What creative stuff could a designer do with this? E-ink only uses power when the image changes.

EsoNatLangs Bring the Complexity of Natural Language into Code The five esolangs discussed in this piece -- Coem, Love Languages, Prāsa, Kip, and Captive -- draw on aspects of natural language usually avoided in code: nuance and ambiguity, complex grammars and mo...

Esolangs that embrace natural language can go much further than adopting silly keywords. Here are five languages that bring linguistic complexity into code. esoteric.codes/blog/five-es...

"Benevolent" surprisingly important part of the BDFL model of programming language development

Spesielt når det nesten fremstilles som ren snillisme å la folk utdanne seg i fengsel i stedet for å sende dem til Gruvene På 16

Dumt at NHH-professorens poeng som burde vært i 72pt overskrift, i stedet havner i en notis helt til slutt: det er ikke "gaver" fra staten men det det koster om man skal ha folk i spesialisert 8-4-arbeid

Argumentet "folk med mer penger og kapasitet til overs bruker ordning X og 'skviser ut' folk med større behov, derfor må vi stramme inn tilgangen, uavhengig av om innstrammingene rammer nettopp de med større behov hardest" kommer liksom aldri med noen endestasjon for ideell mengde behovsprøving

Ville igjen unngått å svare men altfor fristende å foreslå "Nettserier.no er et eneveldig diktatur drevet etter Janteloven og regelheftet til Kokkelimonke, legg tegneserien på serverplassen du åpenbart disponerer"

Det høres jo ikke riktig navla ut - det virker som noen som har fått et enkelt "nei", behandlet det som en dyp fornærmelse mot egen person og deretter prøver å lage et stort problem av det med AI-assistanse, det høres absolutt best ut å ignorere

Unfortunately The Knick *could* have been before it got cancelled, IIRC the plan was to set the third season after WW2
