#Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Big Wreck - 7.x (2021-2023). Released as three EPs, this “album” is the result of frontman Ian Thornley’s ideas on the changing landscape of listener preferences. Today’s playlist combines all three. #music #canrock #progrock www.youtube.com/watch
If you’ve been looking for a #cyberdeck, then you’ve got one more day to get in on the #Pilet #Kickstarter. They’ve already raised CA$1 million of their CA$20k goal… yeah. Popular is an understatement. #tech #raspberrypi #hardware www.kickstarter.com/projects/…
If you’re old like me, you might remember the transflective displays on old Palm and Blackberry devices. Perfectly viewable in well lit spaces. A Taiwanese company now offers a $900 24" 1080p 75Hz desktop monitor using the technology. #tech #hardware kotaku.com/indiana-j…
MacWorld is reporting that #MalwareBytes has released their 2025 edition of the State of #Malware, and agentic #AI will be playing an outsized role in new #ransomware and like attacks. Read & prepare yourself. Verify everything. #tech #security www.macworld.com/article/2…
Reason #WTF Cares to uninstall #Microsoft #Windows and migrate to #Linux or #Mac: Microsoft has now made it harder to install Windows 11 on unsupported but entirely capable hardware so, you know, screw you. Can’t afford new? Oh well. Sucks to be you! #tech #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Wreck - In Loving Memory of - 20th Anniversary Special Edition (1997). Going back to their first album, and yes, they have been around that long and have always sounded that good. #music #progrock #bigwreck www.youtube.com/watch
The first #trailer for #Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps has dropped. Previous outings have run the gamut from disastrous to not terrible. Very kitschy as it jumps back to the era of the first #comics. We’ll see, I guess. #movies www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Wreck - Ghosts (2014). Track #2, I Digress, was my intro to BW, as it popped up in a Spotify playlist I’d set up to play music like Simon Phillips Protocol albums. Kind of a stretch, but I’m grateful. #music #altrock #progrock www.youtube.com/watch
The best typo in 2025, and we’re barely into February! Top notch, my peep! TOP NOTCH!!! #typos #fail #oops #internet #funny
I can’t code myself out of a paper bag, but I know the value of the skill of #programming and of #opensource, so good on #Apple for open sourcing #Swift Build. Now can you open source Mac OS Classic? Tim?… TIM?! #tech #news 9to5mac.com/2025/02/0…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Coldplay - X&Y (2005). My favorite album from this UK outfit. They have an uncanny ability to inject emotion into their #Pop #Rock compositions. And yet, Chris is inconsistent live. Oh well. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats - Live Meat and Potatoes (2012). Chad is more than just the battarista for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He’s bombastic in other ways, just like the opening track. #music #jazzfusion #funk www.youtube.com/watch
Both sad & hilarious, Kazuya Ishikawa’s “Salaryman Eraser” is goes bald with proper use, mirroring the difficult conditions Japanese business people face. Note that #Japan hasn’t updated the term to include the fairer sex yet. #capitalism #officesupplies kottke.org/25/01/jap…
If you don’t like the power coming on when you open the lid on your #MacBookPro #Apple has explained how to disable it. It takes a bit of work in the Terminal.app, but anyone should be able to do it if they follow the instructions. #tech #howto www.macworld.com/article/2…
The latest video from #MaxDerrat is a special one of a very personal and painful history dealing with #ADHD and #Autism, both of which I can relate to as I dealt with the former in the 70’s and the latter affects a close family member. #YouTube #mentalhealth #videogames www.youtube.com/watch
Without question, a well directed and shot film with solid performances by most of the cast, they should have leaned hard on the “psychological horror” instead of just “horror”. I may be jaded, but I didn’t find it frightening. Dafoe is always a pleasure, though. #film #movies #reviews
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Bruce Hornsby - Intersections 1985 - 2005. This boxset covers a wide range of material, test pieces, covers, and live tracks from his first 20 years. A true testament to his underrated genius. #music #BruceHornsby www.youtube.com/watch
Remember when you watched #Idiocracy and laughed at how absurd and over-the-top it was? Are you laughing now? #uspol #ElonMusk #TFG #fascism #capitalism #MAGA #FAFO www.salon.com/2025/01/3…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Wreck - Ghosts (2014). Hard to believe I’ve been listening to BW for a decade now as this is the first album I bought and discovered that Ian Thornley is amazing. #RIP Brian. You are sorely missed. #FuckCancer #music www.youtube.com/watch
Yet another reason to abandon #Microsoft… The lunatics in Redmond are adding a $400 premium to Intel-powered #Surface devices that have the exact same specs are their #ARM-powered counterparts. Silly #Capitalism. #SwitchToLinux or get a #Mac. it.slashdot.org/story/25/…
I think I should remind people of one simple fact: human beings are not corporations.
While #Capitalism may be kissing #TFG’s ass we, as individuals, don’t have to. Stop shopping at that store. Stop using that website or service. Keep speaking out. #uspol #donotobeyinadvance onefoottsunami.com/2025/01/3…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Wreck - Albatross (2012). One of my favorite #rock bands, up there with Rush and Yes. #music #alternativerock #progrock #boston #canada www.youtube.com/watch
So, I’ve essentially stopped using #Windows. I have one Windows 10 machine I use to play #MarvelRivals, but that will soon change. I use #Mac and #Linux for everything else. Rather than explain why, I’ll let @EposVox@glitch.lgbt take the lead. #tech www.youtube.com/watch
Oh man, that’s one sexy #AlfaRomeo. The Sprint 6C was a prototype that never made production, but Portuguese workshop Alma is making it real, and it sure is a looker! All you need is a Sprint and about $50k and you can have one, too! In Portugal, of course. #cars www.autoblog.com/news/alfa…
The Authors Guild has launched a new program that allows HUMAN authors to certify that their works are HUMAN-MADE, and NOT written by #AI. The process is currently only available to books authored by one writer who are guild members, but expansion will come. #writing www.theverge.com/news/6029…
