Just fell down a Doritos rabbit hole
https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/links-extreme.html - New article! Links Extreme, the one time the most well-respected series in all of computer-golf decided to do something different. Golf for non-golfers, or non-golf for golfers?
https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/golfclock.html - It's been stuck to the front lip of one of Golfshrine's many shelves for months - but does The Golf Clock still play? I sought to find out, last September. ...and neglected to document it.

you can use computers every day for thirty years and still be utterly blown away by new error messages you cannot even begin to comprehend

Hey #Portland #RetroComputing folks: The place I store much of my stuff was burglarized, trashed, and many items were stolen. The most valuable was a NeXTstation Turbo Color.
If you see one floating around, please let me know.
I don't have the serial number or anything identifying, other than the HDD is failed :(

Not everyone likes football. Some people prefer cats. So if you're one of those people, here's Fishy.
@TonicBH my immediate thought is Ares, if it was from an overhead perspective.

My mother in law found this when moving house and now it’s mine! It’s a Panasonic PenWriter, a typewriter that’s actually a pen plotter! Can’t wait to try it out, but I don’t have much hope for the pens still working #penplotter

🦠 We program a lot of things in this office but none quite as frustrating as our new sinks. yes, sinks.
the sink settings (!) are set with an infrared remote, which you have to place in front of the faucet IR sensor — virtually guaranteeing it immediately gets drenched in a spray of water. anywayyyy

okay don't change that byte, GOT IT.
I think I failed to load the cursor, which caused it to corrupt the mouse cursor catastrophically

Look, it's all my favourite streaming services on one platform!
@eramdam 180gb to run a music app? that's a little over half the size of my entire mp3 library, that's either a hell of a bad memory leak or it's slowly trying to have your entire library loaded into RAM at once

dear reader, i hereby grant you permission to:
- acknowledge that the world is shit
- not suffer more than absolutely objectively necessary given your circumstances
if reading stuff makes you miserable, you are allowed not to do that. if being angry makes you miserable, you are allowed not to do that. i'm not good with words, but i hope you get the point

ok #ditherinator (still 0.4 no version change) should now have a polyfill that takes care of rendering issues in #safari that caused the pre-process sliders to not affect the image
#chrome still isn't, and will not be, supported

Years go by, but the closing credits music from the Amiga CD32 version of (Sid Meier's) Pirates! Gold remains the most delightful 90s artifact. 🔊🎶💿🏴☠️⚔
