One of the most, maybe, underrated Australian album.

Bryan Adams was wrong. It wasn't about the summer of 69, it was the summer of 91. Use Your Illusion and Mario Bros 3. Fuck yeah.

What these things should be trained to do are tasks like code analysis, refactoring, simple amendments to code that take time, TESTING! Imagine never writing a unit test ever again!?

Imagine hiring someone and saying "well, they can't really write production-level code".

I'm forming an opinion that code-focused "AI" sucks because it's being asked to do the absolute wrong things. It shouldn't be writing code "from scratch" because it can't do that well. It can't even really copy code well because everyone keeps saying "it's not really production ready".

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

Tidal claims they care about "the music" but this shows they don't.

Oasis albums with one that is clearly mis-categorized.

Streaming service metadata be like (image). Also, you used to be able to report issues and sometimes they actually used to pretend to care.

Given the uptick in popularity of Lottie and Rive, maybe Adobe should just bring back Flash 🤣

Where has Scrub Daddy been all my life?

Or BBQ?

Is coffee the equivalent of drinking a cigarette?

Why 'The Great British Bake Off' Needs Mel And Sue What will become of our favorite show without its kooky, filthy-punning, daffy-aunt hosts?

"If we see them crying or something," Sue told the Guardian, "Mel and I will go over there and put our coats over them, or swear a lot because we know then that the film won't be able to be used."

In my youth, I was always so critical of music and what was cool. In my heady days I realise how foolish I was and how great the music was. It's not to late though. There is so much good music out there that isn't mainstream.

Finally

Watching the UK Kitchen Nightmares vs the US ones show how different the "cultures" are. The early UK ones are almost peaceful.

At this point, I should just give @pimoroni.com power of attorney over my accounts and have them send me stuff automatically ...

Us 80s kids are so lucky I sane coke addicts made TV shows and movies for us

I have no idea why a developer account with zero apps is considered a "liability". I did the stupid crap to validate my business, so they know I'm a "real person". What's the risk vector here?

I think I'm going to just let Google close all my Android developer accounts because I'm tired of fighting to keep them open. I have no current apps but I paid the fee. If they want money, just charge me annually and go away.

Rails doesn't work on Fedora 42 and that makes me a sad panda ..

I didn't get a blue checkmark for some reason. Must be an oversight ........ right?

Sites that ignore unsubscribe requests should go to internet purgatory.

@bsky.app can we get some tooltips on buttons?

Generally, I will always click no on any prompt asking me to share anonymous data. That said, I feel like I could be persuaded to share data IF there was more transparency regarding the data being collected and how it is being used. It's crazy how many times these prompts have no explanation.

If you're a @kagi.com user, like me, I highly recommend instructing Kagi to filter out any results from Medium. Worth it. If you reeeally want them, you can also use Lenses to conditionally return them.

Who is posting here content about #Ruby or #Rails or any other Ruby framework and I should follow? :)

Looking to expand the network of people I follow/watch directly or via lists and that I can include in the newsletter.
