With the increasing popularity of folding phones I hope we’ll see a mod that plays Mario’s ‘Goodbye’ sound byte from Super Mario 64 DS when closing the lid.
It’s really hard to comprehend how much damage the mongrel Rupert Murdoch has done unless you sit down and look at his publications.
Endless far right slop riddled with engagement bait. The so called ‘news’ sells anger, not information.
Moved my Bluesky account from @outervale.bsky.social to @vale.rocks. Quite a neat feature.
It’s amazing how quickly Bluesky is evolving. It’s lovely to see a platform come together like this.
I wonder how long it’ll be until they start shoehorning in features in the pursuit of profit that damages the user experience.
It’s been a few days since I’ve posted so I figure I’ll just leave Star Trekkin’ here for any poor souls who haven’t had the privilege of experiencing it.
It’s time. Time for me to get Omikron.
I joined Bluesky this morning. It feels like a more refined version of Twitter pre-Musk.
I’ll be sticking to the fediverse, but feel free to send me a follow!
Ahhh, yes. Neo-Twitter. Risen from the ashes of the internet’s previous tabloid crap peddler.
I Hate My Nokia
Nokia is, quite literally, not the company they used to be.
My review of my Nokia G22. A phone touted as being easily repairable that doesn't quite live up to the standards it sets for itself.

I wonder when we’ll phase out IPv4 in favour of v6. I suppose we’ll do it later.
I’ve been playing Mario Kart Wii half the day. I got rather violently Mario Karted by the bots on Koopa Cape a minute ago. From 1st to 12th in the blink of an eye. Oh well.
I’m playing with no bloom or background blurring in HD on my rather large TV with an Xbox controller. Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without the excellent Dolphin emulator. A huge thanks to all who have contributed to emulation.
Started my Diploma of Information Technology (Frontend Development) at North Metropolitan TAFE today!
Eager to absorb new knowledge, enhance my skills, and embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
Hmm, might give Zed a go. Doubt it’ll shake me off Neovim but I’m open to alternatives.
I just remembered the time I had to wipe a PlayStation 2 with tens of game saves dating back to 2000 and one of the save icons was on it’s knees begging me not to delete them.
I still feel like a monster.
I hate Samsung and their complete ineptitude at writing software with a burning passion.
Sorry for that outage folks. The router had a blockage. Called out the plumber who cleared the debris from my Ethernet cable though. All good now.
Etched into the depths of my brain:
One-one was one race horse. Two-two was one too. One-one won one race, and Two-two won one too.
The passion with which I hate dealing with Windows cannot be described.
I’ve had more fun grazing my knee.
My life was well and truly changed the day I saw this video.
Whatever happened to script kiddies? All I see nowadays are losers DDOSing community projects.
I think my greatest security vulnerability is me singing my password as I type it…
I must say, I’m absolutely loving NixOS. Having everything declared and configured in this way is excellent.
I love being able to test packages and set everything so easily. It’s a breeze!
And it’s all too easy to move machines or reinstall should I need to.
My New Year’s resolution is 720p.
I considered 4K UHD, but I think it’s important to set achievable goals.
The arrival of a new year.
Configurations have been tested, USBs are writing, ISOs are burning, sanity is waning, snacks are on hand.
I’m set to make the move to NixOS on my Framework Laptop. Wish me luck!
Whenever I think of installing or reinstalling my OS, I tend to go a bit crazy installing apps and testing potentially breaking changes so I can decide how to setup the new install.
It’s all well and good until I start doing that pre-backup…
(Perhaps I’m looking at moving from Arch Linux to NixOS…)
I figured I’d throw my hat into the tabs vs spaces ring. In the context of code, tabs are naturally superior to spaces.
Tabs semantically indicate indentation, which allows for individuals to customise their editor to display them as they choose. A semantic option is also better for accessibility. Further, tabs lead to smaller file sizes.
Spaces should be used for alignment.
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!
Here’s a picture of my pet chicken, Garbin, in a Christmas hat. If it seems a little off, it’s because she really wasn’t cooperative…
