@djlink I think that kind of tone (as opposed to a short clack) sound was typical of aperture grille (trinitron) tubes.

In the 90's, my parents had a 27-inch (or close to that) Sony Trinitron TV that made such a loud roaring sound on startup that would scare your cat.

Something like this:

@djlink I had completely forgotten about this!

@djlink social networking sites that collect eyes beat sites that don't because they aren't held to account for the harms they cause, aggregate, and magnify. While small forums *are* held to account. Big social media is a *policy* decision

@djlink

I'm not sure I would miss forums, because they are most often a place where people wind each other up to do concern trolling (ie, gamergate).

@djlink
Just yesterday someone announced a new discord "server" for artists and I just thought. No thanks, I don't want to use an AI infested software made by nft fanboys and especially not for art.

hope Niatic or Pokemon Company are giving some money to OpenStreetMap

@djlink oh so THAT's what i kept seeing in the user bans list

@djlink 🤦

@djlink The actual reason is Tim Sweeney fucking hates Linux. He has decades of history of spreading misinformation about Linux. He'll only begrudginly add support if he's forced to

@djlink Tim removing Linux support from existing games: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Tim not being able to sell games for Steam Deck: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

@djlink FWIW, I don’t think any of the FN team was part of the layoffs. Saying this as someone who recently left Epic.

@djlink as soothingly familiar as Winamp’s visualiser 😊

@djlink "kind of blue" - win 95

@djlink I can just hear canyon.mid playing in the background

@djlink I popped a few of those in GotoJSE.com a year or so ago. They're really quite handy!

There's also the 2023 collection (45GB), and the monthly GDC audio releases (16GB) that preceded these :)

only thing not mapped is the Inventory/Options menu because there’s no Minus “-“ button on GC, but Start button is the Map which is way more useful. I feel like I rarely use that button anyway but keeping an extra controller around helps with that.

@djlink How do you steer?

@djlink Those were the days.

@djlink At least two million points 🧙‍♂️

@djlink ... Solid 10.

@djlink My "good chair", that I bring to my job, is a small $25.00 steno chair.
No arms, and it scoots around my cube easily. No full-body wrassling to get it to move around the cubicle and I can sit on it sideways if that is convenient.

Your Good Chair doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

@djlink I’m not a full time coder these days. But best advice I got now a few decades ago from a coworker was to go take a walk by the river - a little physical activity and a short walk (especially with some nature) is really helpful and a great way to reset and com back fo work challenges with fresh eyes (also good before sending a too quick response to something online)

@djlink These are very good tips. I learned late in my career that a good standing desk or podium is 100% worth it and not theater. Also, one thing that took my quite some time to learn is that a "good chair" is not necessarily a chair with a ton of features or good looks, but one that enforces good posture regardless of configuration.

@djlink I voted, but presumably since I follow you things are a bit skewed?

@djlink I see it from another server because someone I follow (from a third server) boosted your post.

@djlink Imagine taking it a half second sooner and all you have is a tree.

@djlink never tell me the odds… fascinating
And this isn’t a still frame from a video is it?

@djlink
Nice xm0ss tree!
