Today, I had occasion to rip a DVD for a friend, and man, the servomotor noises of ejecting the disk and whatnot were a real delight. That’s a formerly common sound that I have not heard in a long, long time. A sensory treat!

Does anyone at Apple who decided to hide all the controls ever attempt to use those controls to control things?
Does anyone on Apple's design team actually use a Mac to do anything?

Apple are out of their mind with these monitor prices. I mean, it's moot for me anyway, as I am not inclined to give fash-supporting Apple any money at all right now (or maybe ever again), but HOW MUCH for a 5K 27" panel? Get in the sea, get out, dry off, then get right back in the sea.

I have seen multiple posts in my timeline talking about some australian radio DJs who have had a fight, and it's wild to me that anyone cares.
Jackie Q won't work with Kylie any more? Oh no! What's next? Steve is on the out with The Weasel? JOHNNO IS IN A STOUSH WITH THE BIG DOG?!
I'm old as balls, and I'm still more likely to give a shit about dipshit twitch streamers than I am about breakfast fucking DJ's in 2026.

Semi-retired Gen-X tech nerd. I used to operate core networks and systems for various NZ companies whose names would make you go "Oh, right, I remember them." I'm currently studying part time for a very non-technical tertiary degree and otherwise consulting and contracting on boring old tech stuff. If you are a nazi or a TERF, please fuck off.

A reminder that while this is very much a dark timeline, it's still the case that the TV show "Glee" was over and done before "Hamilton: An American Musical" hit the culture. Things could have been worse.

What do you think the odds are that Donald Trump thinks that Ayatollah Khamenei (very recently assassinated during Operation Epstein Distraction) is the same guy as Ayatollah Khomeini (died because hella old, hilarious funeral involving involuntary corpse crowd-surfing)?

I just did a minor household chore, and after completing it, my back doesn’t hurt and my heart rate seems normal. Amazing what seems like a victory to me these days.
