Support the striking nurses, please. But don’t support them because they’re saints or they fulfil some sort of Florence Nightingale fantasy you might have. Support them because they are workers who deserve to be fairly paid. Like the postal workers, the transport workers, and all the other workers who are striking now for fair wages.

Soldered my fucking hand tonight. My magnifying lens was too close to the PCB so there wasn’t enough space to work in. Think I need a higher strength lens.

Wee bit of DIY #Eurorack today. Finally worked up the courage to get stuck into the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine. I was watching along with a Mylar Melodies livestream from back in March, and it was nice to feel like I was building along with him. https://youtu.be/aiX8HkX2bxg

My AirPods Max are called Mo’s AirPods Max. For reasons that I won’t go into I have a second pair of AirPods Max, so I called them Mo’s SpairPods Max. I will never not find this hilarious.

This is not to say that death threats are acceptable, or some sort of price you have to pay for managing a social media account. They’re never acceptable.

If I was getting actual death threats from people on social media because of something I posted on social media, the first thing I would do is stop posting on social media for a while, and I’d especially avoid interacting with people about the subject that was getting me the death threats! #rpi

Right, I’m out. That Very British Problems account has come over from Twitter and now the “we’re so British, we love queuing and tea and being polite, please forget the colonialism, old chap” bollocks is masquerading as comedy here too.

Twitteratti in 2008: Twitter is an app interface playground. Everyone is trying these cool new things. So much innovation.
Twitteratti in 2022: I can’t find a Mastodon app that I like. There’s too many. They’re not mature enough. They do weird things. I just want Tweetbot for Mastodon so that everything is the same as it was before.

@ThePaulMcBride when will WeCodeNI be posting job listings to Mastodon? 🙂

I don’t think this could be a worse advertising partnership, unless they specifically advertised Meat Feast pizzas. Might need to work on the Brand Safety there, All4.

As musician and technology enthusiast it gives me so much delight that Roland released everything but a 404 in their x0x series of instruments in the early 80s.

While they did eventually release an SP-404, the original 404 was literally Not Found. Perfect.

I’m going to retcon this into the HTTP spec.
