@aidan_walsh bloody foreigners, coming over here, taking our protests…
@stuart nice! I do love apps with a hint of personality.
I love that Letterboxd shows a pink heart when you heart the #Barbie movie (instead of the usual orange).
@bigzaphod the humans were VC-funded allowing the inferior product to grow market share and squeeze out the competition.
@seanddotmedotuk “we’ve all flown here at a cost of massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, and it’s terrible that climate change has impacted us in this way”
Current status: siphoning water from the 12ft pool in the back garden that had started to overflow with the amount of rain while we were away over the last 2 weeks. It was kinda turning into an infinity pool, I guess, but the extra volume of water was putting too much strain on the sides of the pool. Which kinda reflects how my clothes feel after the last 2 weeks of eating and drinking.
@flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com I love Zooropa as well. Basically I love everything from The Unforgettable Fire to Pop, and like a few albums either side of that. Pop has a special place in my heart; I queued up to get my copy at midnight at a record store in Belfast and had a great night listening to it. The Popmart tour hit Belfast that year and I managed to go to it. The buzz in the city around the gig was amazing; never experienced anything like it since.
@intheseheels @stuart @theronster trying to find a time when I can go with the kids. Gonna try to get them up to Belfast some day I’m in the office and we can try the new cinema at Castlecourt.
@stuart @intheseheels @theronster happy to get in on that action
@yougenius curse Roland for reusing the numbers. I always loved that the original set of machines seemed to skip 404 🙂
@StefanoGaivota @yougenius Synpathy? 😉
@shezza_t @seanddotmedotuk I work in AdTech and while there’s a lot of effort goes into figuring out exactly who you are (“what precise demographic information you have grandma!” “all the better to advertise to you”) there’s only so much that can be determined with accuracy. You can be an outlier for a targeting demographic, but if it’s all they have to go on, they’ll take a shot. We remember the times they get it right with the scatter gun way more than we remember the times they get it wrong.
@bw if you ever do, I can recommend this place on AirBnB: https://abnb.me/7CEVCQLlxBb
I can recommend it because it’s my retirement plan! My wife and I always wanted to move to the coast, and we decided to go for it now as a second home, and eventually make it our primary home. To be able to enjoy it while the kids are young is a big bonus! 🙂
@bw we have Amazon in Northern Ireland. There’s the whole “being in the UK” downside, but on the plus side we the same people and we have the whiskey too. 🙂
@lexfri it’s all the Guinness. Produces leaden poops that need a bit of help on their way!
I'm Maurice Kelly, a software engineer who sold his soul to management. To redeem myself I try to make music, but in reality what I'm doing is making a big pile of synthesisers all in one place and changing how they are connected on a regular basis.
