Quite a lot of the people I follow are at the NIN gig. This means 1) I’m following the right people, and 2) I’m incredibly jealous

I’ve been working late, so only just managed to check out the Donkey Kong Direct. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t massively into it initially, but now I’m fully onboard. It looks fantastic! Video games are back!!

My hope is that this pushes people away from using Google in favour of alternatives, but that's not going to happen overnight. What's interesting from a web dev point of view is that a lot of what I do is dictated by Google. It always has been for as long I've been doing this job.

Bitbucket has imposed a monthly cost that I'm not particularly happy with, so I'm looking at shifting a bunch of repos to GitHub. I use GitHub for personal stuff, but this is for work. Does GitHub have any limits when paying for Pro? I have just under 80 repos to shift with a combined size of 13GB

I’ve got this cool new feature where whenever I leave work, my watch says “you’ve left your MacBook!”, so I tap “trust this location”, and the next day it does the same again. It’s really good

Here's yer man's review of Welcome Tour. I enjoyed it but I don't agree with the "it should have been preinstalled" argument, and attempt to explain why in the review.

🙌 Happy rent price increase to those who celebrate 🙌

💙📚 COMING JAN 2026: THE GRAPPLES OF WRATH! The owner of a pro-wrestling gym died, and his ghost is convinced he was moidered. Can Weirdo medium Claire and her dead best friend solve it?

Downloaded the Temu app, against my better judgement, and it does everything in its power to make you play stupid little mini games instead of letting you buy shit

Kids were playing up at bedtime so I shouted at them and now I feel bad. The endless joys of parenting!

we've been told we have 'grit' but I think that's an overly kind way to put it final 24 hours to back Crescent County on Kickstarter! 👇 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ann...

A smaller #newsletter issue today, all about why I decided to set up a copywriting business that focuses on no AI, with everything written by me. Sounds obvious, doesn't it? darylbaxter.com/posts/spring...

I meant to do that

I have had two beers ama

If the TV kick in the balls wasn’t enough, I thought I’d play a little bit of Mario Kart then got absolutely fucking wrecked on the last race of a cup and came 2nd overall. I’m going back to bed* *not really, I’ve gotta do the school run in a sec

£999 to fix it 😂 They can get to absolute fuck
