@mcc I find it hard to function in a world where good things just disappear and are replaced by worse things, without seemingly anyone noticing or caring.

@mcc I did an internship in a recording studio where I learned one day they had five (5) identical vacuum cleaners.

I asked what's up with this and the owner said "I did the research, these are the best vacuum cleaners, so I bought five which should last me a lifetime without ever having look into it again or worry they stop making these."

I thought it was a bit wacky at the time, but I understand it more now.

@HauntedOwlbear yeah! We were in the south, near St Tropez, in a cabin on the beach. Got a bit of a tan to last us through the winter hopefully.

@HauntedOwlbear have been for the past two weeks, driving home now :)

Wow the Eifel Tower, what a glorious landmark, truly a sight to behold #france

Alt text, cause my phone isn’t letting it add me to the image directly: it’s a photo of some kind or random radio tower along the motorway, taken from the car as we’re driving through France

In Jurassic Park (the book) they talk about the Cray X-MP supercomputer, so of course I looked it up.

It was released in 1982, featured among other things 128 MB RAM, up to 38 GB of storage and 4 CPUs running at about 100 MHz.

It was the most powerful computer in the world up until 1985 and cost about 15 million dollars.

Of course nowadays your phone is more capable than this beast.

@HauntedOwlbear @Sylvhem I'm happy to teach you if you want me to.

CSS can be a lot of fun!

@thomasfuchs What can you do though, except not watching his channel and not inviting him for things you organise?

Played the bass too hard and now I have a blister on my finger :(

Did you know I made music for the hit game My Summer Car under the name "Nerk"? I did!

The game is set in the 90s, so invented this 90s-sounding grunge band called Nerk and recorded a couple of tracks for it.

@GossiTheDog A 60 year old F1 racing driver. Very believable lol

What's the simplest no-frills easy-to-understand basic static site generator?

11ty? Jekyll? Hugo? Something else?

Please let me know what you prefer!

@eniko @HauntedOwlbear I've not checked out the demo yet, but wouldn't remappable buttons be the answer everyone can agree with?

@goatsarah @fesshole plugging the mouse into the computer next to it was a classic prank in high school

@thomasfuchs I don't think I realised how new this tech was back in 2003 when I got my first laptop and connected to the college wifi

@thomasfuchs there's a long history of complicated things being described as the latest tech.

Turns out the brain isn't like a telephone switch either.

Discord on my old Mac just updated itself to a version my computer can't run 🙃

@thomasfuchs I wonder how many people actually have one

These Nazis sure don't kill themselves, so I'm playing more Wolfenstein 3D for @dosgameclub right now

Come hang out if you like!
