I had planned on going there for it but with the end of the world and all... Actually maybe I should anyway.

I barely post but when I do it's normally NIN related. Expect some.

If only I was in Manchester to do it again... Oh, wait, I am.

That’s a Texas sized 10-4 big shoots.

Add me to the list of posters who, eh, you know?

It’s such an older crowd at this gig that the lines for the Gents are extra long due to prostate issues.

Yes. It’s called a Zambroomi.

Is there a Zamboni for big music gigs? Clean up the beer cans?

I may not be the best father out there but at least my kids will learn to play with inverted-look like civilised people.

I feel like Jack Dorsey’s former ties to this place are a PR problem to address, at least among the technical community.

Someone in the fediverse claimed the leadership had “authoritarian tendencies” and when I asked what they meant, they pointed to Dorsey.

Hi.

I have a long list of unbelievable stories, but I'll go with... I once ended up getting coffee with Trent Reznor, and we spent a decent portion of the time swapping baby-care tips (we were both first time fathers and my kid was a few months older, iirc).

This is such a terrible idea. www.theverge.com/2024/5/20/24... have a shared home computer? Want to look up things you would prefer your (perhaps abusive) partner didn't know about? Well, bad news. And of course enterprise customers will start demanding access to staff computers. &c &c &c

I wonder how far the line will go up based on the news of it though?

Theory (based on beers in the sun earlier): tech companies have become so big and lucrative that they have been captured by the same MBA/marketing/sales dipshits as any mature industry, but with tech there is far more room to just make shit up, if not outright pressure to do so.
