@bigzaphod I get mad when David Attenborough pronounces it “veloc-ee-raptor”, but in Jurassic Park his brother Richard pronounced it “veloc-ih-raptor”. Jeez, Attenborough brothers. Just make up your mind!

@bigzaphod

@chartier I started a new app a while back and while I’m probably not got much worth breaking, I can promise you that I’m not “moving fast” by any means 😉

@bigzaphod I immediately think of Dogtanian and the Muskehounds!

@bigzaphod I really liked using the Synthwave ‘84 theme, but it was a bit hacky. When Panic brought out their Nova editor with the same* theme I jumped on it. I love using Nova, though the plug-in ecosystem is nothing like that of VSCode.

* I think it’s roughly the same as there seemed to be some interaction between Panic and the Synthwave ‘84 developer, but I’m not 100% on how close they are.

@bigzaphod I can still tell when we got the 5 -> 60 upgrade because that’s when I stopped downloading purchased movies from iTunes and just watched them streaming. And I used to download them in work where I had a decent connection!

@bigzaphod it’s amazing how we’ve managed to make high speeds the baseline in a short period of time. We had 5mbps in this house, and were doing Netflix happily. When we got 60mbps it seemed like luxury, but we’re quickly saturating it as the kids have grown up and become big consumers of bandwidth!

@bigzaphod in a similar vein, I live in a rural area and Internet speeds aren’t amazing. There was a public works project to improve speeds for areas remoter than us, and it brought them gigabit FTTP. Which is awesome for them.

The fibre cables to get to those areas run past my house - there are three poles they could tap from and bring me gigabits speeds, but because my speed (60Mbps) is considered adequate, they won’t do it.

It’s right there. Visible from my desk. Every day.

@nivrig I C what you did there.

@clairebones @d3z I was late to the party, and only jumped onto iPhone at 3GS. But I've been a dedicated fanboi ever since. Never wavering. Aside from that Motorola I bought for Novastone.

@d3z Also remember when Apple were able to call their second iPhone the 3G because that was considered a step up

@bigzaphod I have to dismantle the trampoline every autumn/fall and rebuild the next spring. If I don't we will lose the trampoline to winter storms!

@d3z yep. And I don't know why it was so pish poor. I suspect that there was an issue on the 3G side. After a while, I got a single bar of 4G and things started to work

@bolster Stop trying to make Mastodon happen
