I just realized that one of the guys at the gym was hitting on me. Multiple times. In very unsubtle ways. Ten years ago.

My mother in law found this when moving house and now itā€™s mine! Itā€™s a Panasonic PenWriter, a typewriter thatā€™s actually a pen plotter! Canā€™t wait to try it out, but I donā€™t have much hope for the pens still working #penplotter

whatever country offers refugee status to trans people first is gonna see their tech sector and their noise scene go through the roof

I thought my iPad 3ā€™s resale value just doubled because I randomly found its launch day invoice and warranty docs, but itā€™s not the rich countriesā€™ launch day which Iā€™m pretty sure is the only thing that counts, so none of the suc^Wcollectors would pay extra. Oh well, not sure it still works anyway

Inspired by the recent toy model kits, Iā€™m getting back into building scale models, and the sad realization is that neither my paints nor my eyesight are in the same condition as they were during my last scale model hyperfixation 10 years ago.

H5N1 will cause a spike in a lot more than just egg prices if it becomes a human pandemic virus

Found these ā€œwind-up 3D puzzlesā€ I impulse bought ages ago for ~ā‚¬2.50 each and decided to build them. Theyā€™re made of bendy plastic sheets that snap together. The truck was fun to build and looks good; the excavator is impressive, but I couldnā€™t tighten the armā€™s bottom axle; the roller is terrible.

Das Traumschiff: Ankh-Morpork

I had my gayest dream ever: I was on stage with Lady Gaga

My Xiaomi Mi Band 4 has been randomly telling me lately that Iā€™m ā€œexperiencing elevated stress levelsā€ and ā€œlistening to calming musicā€ might help. I wasnā€™t stressed at these times, Iā€™m not even wearing it now. I just realized theyā€™re trying to SELL ME THEIR FUCKING GENAI MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE!

TFW I read about someoneā€™s 50th birthday and think ā€œI didnā€™t know he was THAT oldā€ and then realize Iā€™m 45

The parade of useless tech-in-search-of-a-problem and rampant VC yes-man-ing has basically driven the Western tech industry into the ground. It's so embarrassing. I can't allow myself to think about where that funding could have gone or else I'd lose my mind

I had a mental health boost today and suddenly thought ā€œwait, coding the <thing> for the <obscure 8 bit computer> like I had been planning for weeks would be a massive waste of timeā€ and Iā€™m not sure what the implications are

Has anyone turned ā€œI thought using loops was cheatingā€¦ā€ into a crafting game yet?

This was all I could ever think about back when folks were showing off the ā€œhereā€™s what I look like cartoonified/as anime characters/30 yrs olderā€ filters on apps & online tools. Now I just hope no one ever has the horror realization of seeing themselves advertising something they never agreed to.

A #strawberry for #pixel_dailies @pixeldailies.bsky.social

Collage animation I made a while back, it's called "the idea of a tiger" Made with photos of real Tigers, pictures of toys, bits of ads and comics.

I just remembered this silly little #pico8 game I made a while ago inspired by the #cheese #pixel_dailies prompt. Honestly, the only good part of it is the cheese eating sound effect, but I still kind of enjoy it for some reason. Runs in the browser, playable on desktop and mobile. spenot.hu/cheese/

I interpret ā€œcontent creatorā€ as ā€œI make slop to fill the time between adsā€. Have some pride in your work, hell, in yourself! Unless, of course, your goal in life really is making slop to fill the time between ads, in which case keep using ā€œcontent creatorā€ so I can keep avoiding whatever you make.

I just had a micro-dream about the constitution of Bangladesh

Why did my fitness tracker wish me happy holidays?! I donā€™t even have notifications enabled other than ā€œur dying lolā€ Keep to yourself and measure my pulse in silence, minion!

I got an electronics starter kit for Christmas! So like Maybe itā€™s better to add another programmer carrying a screwdriver to your bestiaries, just in case

GUUUUYS! I FORGOT TO TEXTURE MY GIFTS!! #GameDev #b3d

tis the season to wear a mask, maybe

My most liked skeet is now a pee pun reply to a urinal related videogame joke. Time to pivot, I guess. Iā€™ll figure out monetization later.
