Time to switch your PC desktops and laptops to #Linux, peeps! Back up all your stuff, make a copy of your #Windows install, then install #LinuxMint Cinnamon Edition, which you can get here: www.linuxmint.com/download…. #tech #capitalism
Or just get a base #MacMini.
Since bingo cards seem to be the current metric by which culture is judged, I sure as hell didn’t have “Bitchin' New OK Go Music Video” on mine. I’ll have to watch it again for the lyrics, though. It’s just too mesmerizing the first time! #music #pop #musicvideo www.youtube.com/watch
I don’t really care that there have been #Nintendo #Switch2 leaks. I mean, what’s really been revealed? Not much at all. Most of it remains a mystery. But this take from Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya is comically hilarious. #tech #videogames kotaku.com/bayonetta…
Wow #Canon. This is lame. Apparently, if you want to use your camera as a webcam, you have to pay them $5 a month. Now, that gets you “PRO” features like 60FPS, watermarks, and setting hotkeys, so… you know. #tech #capitalism #wtaf romanzipp.com/blog/no-y…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Spock’s Beard (2007). The band’s ninth album which was released to mixed reviews, still polarizes some listeners, but still garnered solid reviews. I personally love it. #music #ProgressiveRock www.youtube.com/watch
This is just dumb, #Ferrari. Silly. If you’re going to make an #EV do it without the petty nod to your petrol-based past. Forge a new path forward. And while you’re at it do something about that lozenge you call a design. #cars #tech www.autoblog.com/news/ferr…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Spock’s Beard - The Oblivion Particle (2015). Driving, melodic, #progressive #hardrock liberally tinged with a wry sense of humor and hints of #jazz here and there. Every album a concept. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Chris Cornell - Euphoria Mourning (1999). Chris' first solo album that illustrated a more lyrical and pensive side of his vocal talent and compositional prowess. A must listen. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Soundgarden - Superunknown (20th Anniversary)(1994). I still grieve the loss of Chris Cornell. He was an extraordinary vocalist, and this is an extraordinary album. #music www.youtube.com/watch
So, #Nintendo #Switch2. I’m excited, despite all the leaks. Mario’s Dad subtly confirmed various aspects of the leaks, like mouse mode and a new Mario Kart game whilst keeping most of the details for later reveals. For deeper analysis, check out Nintendo Forecast’s video. #videogames www.youtube.com/watch

The Bargain Bin:
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism (2003). It could just be my imagination, but DCFC just keeps getting better with every new album, but their fourth outing where they broke into the mainstream was already amazing. #music www.youtube.com/watch
I thought we’d exhausted all of the “platforms” #Doom could run on, even the truly bizarre ones, like a pregnancy test, the MacBook Pro Touchbar, or an ATM. Guess not, since someone has now made the iconic first-person shooter run in… of all things… a #PDF. #tech #videogames #retrogaming arstechnica.com/gaming/20…
This is just silly, #Gizmodo. Despite the leaks, we know almost nothing about #Nintendo’s #Switch2. Everything we think we know is speculation. The only thing we seem to know is what it looks like. Even reliable leakers are fallible. #tech #videogames gizmodo.com/walmart-t…
Boy, oh boy. #Microsoft is on a roll. In another desperate effort to force people to move to the generally despised #Windows10 they have announced they are cutting off support for #Office365 on October 14th, what I’m not going to call The Day Windows Died. #tech www.theverge.com/2025/1/15…
I was once hyped on #Microsoft. #Windows 7 and 10 were great, they had new ideas like the Surface Duo and a renewed focus on gaming. That Microsoft’s now gone and they’re now on the #AI hype train. Ugh. Come SteamOS, I’m finally done. For good. #tech arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…
I’ve been a big fan of #Marvel’s #Daredevil for a long, long time, and the only live action version that was ever good was #Netflix’s which ran three seasons starting in 2015, but it was cancelled. Now #Disney+ is bringing it back with Daredevil: Born Again in March and it looks really good. #TV www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (Special New Version)(1984). The original audio version of this concert film, considered by many to be the finest ever made, was hampered by the media of the day. This new version is complete and sounds sharp and clean. #music www.youtube.com/watch
In a move designed to protect #Mastodon, founder Eugen Rochko is ceding control to be wholly owned by a non-profit organization to establish that “…the intent that Mastodon should not be owned or controlled by a single individual.” #tech #capitalism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Oingo Boingo - Boingo (1994). Their eighth and final studio #album, #Boingo dropped the horns and keyboards and dove into a deeper, darker, more cinematic, #progressive #rock sound. #music www.youtube.com/watch
Adam Something put out a great new video this morning about how #ElonMusk won the election and reminds us what is at stake, most of which doesn’t concern the bulk of humanity, but is super important to Musk’s bank account size and level of control. #uspol #capitalism www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Joe Bonamassa - Live from the Royal Albert Hall (2009). I adore this live album. It’s stunning in every way and Joe’s an amazing guitarist. #music #blues #bluesrock #livemusic www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Blues Traveler - Straight on Till Morning (1997). Man, oh man that John Popper sure can wail. I need to dive back into #Blues again. More to come… #music
HA! #CartoonNetwork’s #AdventureTime. I didn’t watch nearly enough, but our daughter loved the series and there were also #comics, but it ended back in 2018. The good news? It’s coming back and will start dropping new issues in April of this year. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/01/o…
Ugh. More #Microsoft bullshit to deal with. This is a few days old as I’m catching up on my news feeds but is important to know if you’re one of the unlucky ones using #MicrosoftEdge on #Windows 10 or 11 (or just 11 in general). Switch to #Linux or #Apple already! mjtsai.com/blog/2025…
