5 favourite British films: Monty Python & the Holy Grail Withnail & I Death at a funeral About Time Trainspotting

Watched this last night, very interesting. I'm sure the bit right at the end where he congratulates the 2 people who watched all the way is somewhat exaggerated; surely must have data from previous videos that people*do* watch through? Although I guess with today's attention spans maybe not too many

Holy pile of poop Batman, the new Superman movie is so incredibly bad. 💩💩💩💩💩/💩💩💩💩💩 on the Shit-o-meter. Do not waste 2 hours of your life like I just did.

This is really shitty behaviour. On the left, Duck 2 by Devious Machines released some 6 months ago after months of hard work and design (I helped beta-test it and know the people behind it). On the right, SideKick by Sonic Academy released this week. #vst #plugin #ripoff #slop #poundshopduck

On the left shows the UI of Duck 2 by Devious Machines released 6 months ago.
On the right shows the UI of SideKick by Sonic Academy released this week that is almost an exact carbon copy of Duck 2.

I've reached that point in life where the most exciting thing to happen recently is I bought a new vacuum cleaner. 🤣😭 But damn; Germans know how to engineer a quality product!

Eugh, this annoys me no end. Suddenly everyone thinks they're an expert on how my software works and/or a developer, send me 500 words of bullshit I have to waste my time reading to realise it was all hallucinated horse shit 🤡

Richie Asimilon @asimilon.net · 18/09/2026

Yes, you can make so much software, but what quality does it have? A non-developer has absolutely zero clue if what the clanker output is good enough despite it "working" (spoiler alert: it's often not) Adding "skill" in the list of restraints removed by digital photography is odd to say the least.

I feel like I was a much better developer 6 months ago. Now I feel like I'm a robot manager, and it's not what I signed up for.

Of course they want you to flag if it's wrong. Why pay humans to do the RL when you can get your suckers, sorry - users, to do it for free.

Starting to get a bit excited about getting my #ZXSpectrum #Next from @specnext.com Still at minimum 6 weeks probably, 'til I get my grubby little mitts on it, but feeling a bit like 12yr old me in November 1987 when I knew I was getting a mouse for my 48k rubber key special for Christmas!

We are organizing a demoscene art gallery exhibit in Almada during October. Alongside the exhibit there are openings for talks / workshops / demoshows / live sessions. We are looking for demosceners to come to Almada in October and present their art and craft to a small audience.

When the mesh is so fine, but the grids don't align, that's a moiré.

Two overlaid grid patterns are slightly misaligned. The resulting pattern of different visual densities forms curved patterns which are very sensitive to small changes in alignment.

Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer. Similarly ZX81 would have been first computer touched, also at school. 2nd hand 48k Speccy + a bunch of games my mum brought home when I was 8 got me on the path to being a programmer.

So we now have people betting on Spotify chart positions on prediction markets and then using bots to make their bets come true. $400m has been bet on music on Kalshi already in 2026. People are making more money betting on artists than the artists are making from releasing music. Great stuff!

I wish all mechanical keyboards came with replacement key caps for the Apple modifiers, but at least it's possible to replace them by yourself. I quite like the aesthetic anyway. Yellow ones are textured so I can find the cursor keys without looking.

40 years since these bad boys hit cinemas!

Screenshot from Big Trouble in Little China, showing the three "Storms" standing side-by-side in a Chinatown alley. They stand in an intimidating, authoritative stance, facing toward the camera. They wear matching, massive woven straw hats and long capes, but each has a distinct set of armor underneath.

We're moving Super Mario Bros. to an agentic workflow. Rather than controlling Mario, you'll simply prompt the agent with something like "beat 1-1", and it will take direct control of Mario for you. This frees up more time for more important things like doing your taxes or being stuck in traffic

I find it mildly annoying that people repost their own posts. If it didn't get traction the 1st time around why try again? If traction is so important to you, schedule your 1st post for a better time 🤷
