All golf courses should be rewilded or made into public parks. No exceptions. As a priority, the 15 or so that are inside London should be immediately turned back to parkland.

i wonder, how many CEOs, presidents, and big cheeses of the business world, actually "earned" their position by climbing to the top, versus how many just happened to start there from the beginning? was "climbing the corporate ladder" a myth from the very start?

a reminder that if you feel like you can help me to get back my one hope at ever escaping the suburban wasteland and be able to Go Do Shit In Public Again, here's the GFM where you can help me with that. gofund.me/4192af90

"Riding your trike can be a great way to get in shape and lose weight!*"

*must weigh less than 250 lbs or the vehicle may spontaneously collapse

i also wish some asshole hadn't stolen my e-trike SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS AGO

i wish e-trikes didn't cost 5,000 goddamn dollars

i'd even accept a regular trike if anybody made the damn things but they're uncommon enough in the US that they still cost like $2,500 and come with tight weight restrictions

last boost: GOOD, i wish America could make headway towards discouraging cars and favoring cyclists and/or public transport where possible

I’m looking for a software engineer to join my team at the Internet Archive. We work mostly Pacific hours but are fully and forever remote (we do have a lovely SF HQ if you're in the neighborhood). Our department uses Python, Django, Temporal.io, Postgres, and some in-house database technologies to build web archiving and other digital preservation services for over 1000 partner cultural heritage and memory institutions.

Back in the day I used to use this Winamp plugin to simulate vinyl noise: winampheritage.com/plugin/izot - I kind of wish there was an equivalent for foobar2000. (I know there used to be a foobar plugin that enabled the use of Winamp plugins but I'm not sure if that supported DSPs, and I think it stopped working several foobar versions ago.)

@mcc I've wanted something like the prototype steam controller that used a trackball for the longest time. I want more games that use trackballs and spinners. There's almost no USB support for them, and it's tragic.

I ported a USB DisplayLink driver to @polpo's PicoGUS card so I could use it to watch MS-DOS games make changes to the VGA palette in realtime. Specifically, I ported "libdlo" to use the TinyUSB stack in host mode, then spent way too much time optimizing it until it was sufficiently fast.

Urgent PSA for all trans folk referred to London GIC (aka Tavistock GIC, Tavistock and Portman; formerly Charing Cross) who are still on the waiting list 

Hey folks :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:

You may receive an SMS text from +44 7860 039092 or similar. It will read along the lines of:

From: Tavistock GIC

Hello, you are on the waiting list waiting to be seen at the GIC you were referred between 20## - 20##. We understand during this wait some patients will no longer wish or need to be seen.

Please respond to our question via our secure portal within the next 14 days. drdoctor.thirdparty.nhs.uk/???????????????

Thank you.

We've seen screenshots of people of people referred 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. This was the Reddit post that made us aware of this. A friend of ours, referred in 2019-2020, received and responded last week.

It very much looks like the NHS powers that be have contracted a third party to reach out to patients on this GIC's waiting list, in the hopes that many won't respond in time for any number of reasons. They're trying to artificially reduce their huge waiting list via nefarious means, rather than tackling the systemic issues.

If you have been referred to this GIC and haven't yet received an SMS text, or you have changed your mobile phone number or any other details, you can attempt to log in to the main login portal without the unique code.

Please spread this far and wide. People need to know about this, so they don't lose their place in the queue and have to be referred again πŸ₯Ί

Lives could literally depend on this 😞

I'm looking for a replacement top shell for my midnight purple 3ds which is cracked. I remember seeing AliExpress listings for replacement shells where every bit was cloned but the top shell was refurbished from original, though they were never in stock. Now I can only find clone remakes that don't quite look right. Does anyone have any idea how I could find this? Boosts appreciated.

Spare me from the dudes who reply β€œwho cares” to posts on social media. I care, that’s why I posted it, fucknugget

Dig out the old spinning rust hard drive and it still works. So here’s some System 7.5.3 running in Solaris, if you’re into that sort of thing. Thank you MAE! #RetroComputing
