I'm proud to reveal my Advanced Retro Simulation Environment which you're all going to be playing with soon. My A.R.S.E. is going to be so big that it will take dozens of magazines to cover it.

The best thing about my A.R.S.E. will be the content that comes out of it. Not a mere trickle, like for other platform launches. No, there will be a raging torrent of content, all exclusive to my A.R.S.E.

With it's evolutionary industrial design drawing from nature, the curved profile of my A.R.S.E. will be a feast for the eyes.

Get your hands on my A.R.S.E. on April 1, and be the envy of your friend group.

I feel that the second Red Bull seat is more of the meat-grindy experience. Racing Bulls is the chef who takes the ground meat and forms it into an F1 driver-shaped patty. Like a Red Bull McNugget of a driver.

I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It's not left-right politics, it's the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

Reich calls out the Führer, there's a headline that writes itself.

The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people's lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.

I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.

The article basically boils down to the obvious 'don't take what you see on social media at face value, do some research' and isn't a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.

Exquisite Monty Python reference. Bravo!

Can I interest you in my new investment venture? It's essentially Kitty Ozempic. We're predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.

If you watched this and enjoyed it, there is a Micro Men 10th Anniversary retrospective chat with Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser from The Centre for Computing History.

Although the dramatisation is mildly apocryphal, it does capture really well the entrepreneurship and rivalry of microcomputer development in the UK in the 1980s. I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.

I bet you could make that look awesome! As a graphic designer I really dig the Sun logo - bold, simple, clever.

I did not expect that seeing that interface would take me back in time as hard as it did. Oof! Memories.

 

I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

 

I've had my deck for 2 years now and it's been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.

My only regret is that this way I'm limited to controller-only games, and I really want to play some of the keyboard + mouse games in my library.

Whichever kb + mouse I buy needs to be as portable and lightweight as possible, but still functional with near full-size keycaps (chiclet keys are ok).

I have a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but the build quality is absolute trash.

Any recommendations will be gratefully added to my research list!
