Modern work:

you get a message in Slack with a link to the Confluence doc to prep for the meeting on Zoom, where you take notes in Notion, and track project progress on Monday and then update the Trello and you get to the end of the week and instead of doing fucking anything you've just moved bits of information around in 17 different databases and each one costs $15 a month per user...

Our insurance will not cover the flood damage in our basement since the water came from outside the house, not a broken pipe "within the dwelling."

We're on our own to do the tear-out and the restoration. We got a quote for the former, and while it's bad, we're not ruined. So there's that.

That said, if you like my Horny Werewolf Day browser plug-in and wanna throw me a buck or two on Ko-fi (

i really like thunderbird but i cannot for the life of me understand why in one account moving an email into a folder is a several-second fully blocking action and in another account in the same provider it isn't

i feel like for how hellbent on accessibility the general hivemind around this corner of the internet is there's still a lot of fabricated drama over light mode and tabs for code indentation

"mastodon is less toxic than twitter" was such a rose tinted glasses take

the only thing microblogging has going for it is the reach because as a community tool it's pretty fucking abysmal and it's why i want to spend less and less time here

congratulations and thank you everybody who helped!!

@lexbailey and another one is alive and happy after a Z80 swap :)

unfortunately in a bit of a state right now since it's being tested with the wrong matching keyboard 😅

A few days ago, my groovebox, the #SynthstromDeluge, running the new and awesome community-built firmware, crashed, which was very cool.

Not that it crashed, but what happened next: It displayed a colorful pattern on its pads.

That's a stack trace. It's listing the last steps the code made before crashing. The devs are have asked to be sent photos of these, to help them find bugs.

I've pasted it on Discord, and there's a _bot_ that recognizes these images and decodes them into addresses!

huge thankyou to @mavica_again who fixed one of my ZX Spectrums, and is currently fixing two more for me :)
It did a very thorough job of repairing, tuning, and composite-modding this machine that was really showing its age. It now has a lovely stable image with all the right colours.
If you need an old computer fixing up, definitely see if Mavica has some time :)
