@ben My last one has been sat their for a couple of years with no feedback, so

I'm sorry, stupid content is all I'm good for today

Nnnng

There we go, much better

I'm going to fix it but I sort of don't want to

@dev_ric no-one would blame you if you had

@dev_ric oof sorry mate. Good luck with it all and have the wine ready at the other end!

@neilhenning can relate

Yay Epic fixed my stuck plugin update on Fab, the old marketplace support submission web page does still go somewhere 😃

@Bobbins it’s because software written by weak little softie programmers like me, who snap themselves in half by sitting in a chair too long

Hardware on the other hand is far more butch

Caved and put the heating on finally. It was supposed to be more of the same relatively mild weather this week, but instead we’ve been enveloped by dense fog for the last 2 days which has sucked the heat out of everything. Because of regular thermodynamics rather than vengeful spirits, hopefully

@eniko yeah they’re not cheap - but cheaper than a car both to buy and run

@eniko I live at the top of a big hill and ebikes changed the game for my old unfit ass; it’s my sole form of transport now

@psychicparrot42 Something something KPIs

@klord just saw that @h0ffman’s Cecconoid Amiga port is going to be in an arcade cab at the @rmcretro cave! “noice” 😃

@frankreiff the fact that it’s a close thing despite everything that’s happened blows my mind

@neilhenning oof I’m really trying to believe the arc of history isn’t bending back to the 1930s but damn

@rovarma it’s kind of a separate thing, ours doesn’t do softening, it just cleans up the taste & removes any particulates. We don’t have particularly hard water but I do use a separate softener in my espresso machine because that’s a bit more sensitive

I was vaguely aware that people often make terrible decisions, but I don’t think I ever fully appreciated the extent of it until 2016, when in the space of a couple of months people voted for Brexit and Trump v1. I had naively thought that due to “progress”, people were getting smarter and more tolerant; I never really thought we’d go backwards. I miss that optimism.

I really hope things don’t go even further backwards tomorrow. I’m jaded enough 😕

@rovarma replacement filter for a tap/faucet - makes tap water taste better but has to be replaced every 6 months https://www.franke.com/gb/en/home-solutions/products/featured-products/vital-taps.html
