@BenRiceM @altstore damn. Couldn’t get it to work in Northern Ireland. Apparently Apple aren’t honouring our place in the EU for goods and services. 🙂

@nivrig there’s a smooching scene in Episode 7 that i felt was worth every minute I put into it up until that point.

@nivrig I definitely have an affinity for Fallout 4, and post-apocalyptic stuff in general, but from reading about it after watching I think a lot of references were to games that I hadn’t played and I don’t think it impacted my enjoyment.

@nivrig I’ve only played one game (Fallout 4) but I love the whole world and premise. I wa sin the doldrums this afternoon when I finished the last episode, as I had no more to watch. I found it really compelling watching. The idea of waiting for more is like being tortured by a Mr Handy.

@nivrig first few episodes were a bit flabby, but they tightened them up after that. Runtime was too long for the first few.

@BenRiceM I was watching today and thought “wow, they made FalloutWorld and it is amazing”

@simon we do live in the first world though 🙂

Sometimes it’s a frustration, and sometimes it’s extremely difficult to accommodate the changes. When you arrange your schedule to receive a delivery, then have to rearrange due to changing circumstances, it can be more than just an irritant.

And it’s usually down to penny-pinching and attempts to cram too much into a driver’s schedule that is too fragile to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances.

@simon there are so many frustrations in logistics these days.

Last week I was expecting a delivery, and was told it would arrive on Monday of this week. That was cool. On Friday, I got an email to say that the delivery would be on Saturday. Yay! Saturday came and went, with no delivery. Arrived on Monday as originally expected.

It’s not terrible (and I feel for your components shivering and alone tonight!) but it’s the unnecessary frustrations that these things inject into our lives.

@GrantMeStrength I immediately thought of Sultan’s Maze on the CPC.

I have a lot more to say, but I'll hold it for now and simply wonder aloud...

Which BigTech clouds are the "Lavender" & "Where's Daddy?" AI systems running on? What APIs are they using? Which libraries are they calling?

What work did my former colleagues, did I, did *you* contribute to that may now be enabling this automated slaughter?

(Also, content warning. This is some of the sickest shit I've ever read.)

@Moltz @dmoren @lunarobverse @lexfri this should be your next pair of t-shirts. Each one has half-a-Moltz and together you complete them.

@stuart last year it was the other way round, but there was a grand slam as well.

@schwa in optimal conditions they’d have raised the sails, for sure.
