Laptop seems a lot happier today. Might have been disabling gnome's tracker daemon which it didn't like yesterday, but either way, seems like a good opportunity to redo some thermal paste and have a good tab clearout.

No syncthing for the Wii U? This is ridiculous.

Morning and #tzag all, and a very joyous spring #equinox to everyone and everything out there.

Whether you're a small restaurant or not you have to ensure that you're not stealing your ingredients. So why is this any different?

What about the 1-2 person creative startups? Who is protecting their works in a society that devalues artists so much that "starving artist" is an expectation?

@ParadeGrotesque @jcalpickard Cheers. I hope some thermal paste will tide things over in the very short term, but does feel like time to start looking at these two more seriously. May come down to performance-per-weight...

OK, definitely feel like I'm nursing this laptop through today carefully.

What are the good 2025 options for a Linux-friendly, lightweight, UK-supported laptop for general use and dev work?

The great fish, wider than any ocean, rolls over on its back and somewhere a single stone rattles on the beach.

Just enough time to make a cuppa for the new Pebble announcement...

Work is the problem

Hard workers are destroying our environment

We celebrate the metrics of death.

GDP is a force of destruction.

One of the greatest forms of resistance is slowing down and slowing the system down.

"Personalise your My Account"

@jcalpickard Assuming you've seen this already? https://calculatingempires.net/

Curation is a form of language too.

Man, scam emails are getting so lazy these days.

@cstanhope Yep. Convenience of getting an answer (any answer at all) trumps everything else. Speed is everything.

Spent a few evenings last week playing sport, going to the pub and catching up with some friends, instead of just sitting around playing video games.

Feel much better but also shattered.

#parenting tip: Use slices of cherry tomato to add "notifications" to your child's food to indicate which vegetables need most attention.

@fasterandworse Anything that encourages playfulness and self-ownership. The Wii U for its hackability. The Playdate for its quirky openness. The Pi for its cheap flexibility. BBSes for their text-based lifelong communities.
