The Steam Frame is a separate delivery to any extras, and is still out in a van somewhere.

Going through the shed deciding what to keep/throw.

Anyone know what is up with the Australia Post app icon?

Since u can't control anyone else's setup, I've trimmed some of our radios.

Made it a few centimetres short in error, but actually it turned out to still be perfectly usable! Clamps on securely where I wanted it, supports the weight of the device. The screw-hole was perfectly sized for the screw I wanted. Sweet.

We shifted a little furniture today, which left a device without something to sit on. Made two prototype brackets in OpenSCAD, and am now printing the third (and hopefully final) as an alternate mounting for where I want it.

What does this remind me of? Oh, right... Just feeling a recurring vibe here.

I had just seen this option in (of all things) google drive.

And here's one from regular Gemini, while I was trying to help a friend debug an unfamiliar bit of kit. No, reciting a portion of your system instructions is not actually going to help me find a solution, Gemini. Following them might, but you didn't end up doing that.

So, yeah. I've got a fair bit of home-automation, but for voice commands, it's mostly Google. Now that was fine when it was Google Assistant, but Gemini-for-Home? Well, every couple weeks I'll try to toggle a light and the LLM decides it can't do that shit anymore. Until suddenly it can again.

Hey, you played a lot of Pizza House Simulator, so how about...

When the fan gets turned off, the electromagnetic field of the motor collapses, sending a high-frequency EMF pulse that makes my monitor flicker, and my USB mouse disconnect and reconnect. Two clip-on ferrite 'chokes' clamped on the power lead soak that shit up so that it is not a bother.

So, I unsubscribed from GamePass, because of the mass layoffs. Since then, I keep getting begging letters from Microsoft by email.

After 21 years, we have filled in the snake pit. Due to a lack of scheming viziers and traitorous vassals, it just wasn't seeing any real use.

There's not a lot to do when you're an outpatient.

I'm sorry, but those days may be behind me now.

The rest is blurred and pixellated shapes, suspicious and unidentifiable.

Look, maybe it's just me, but this is the most eighties, Atari 2600 cover I've seen for a game in decades.

When I make some throwaway comment that is an ancient, obscure reference to something, and then have to spend the next 12-17 minutes explaining the context enough so my listener has any idea why the *fuck* I said what I just said.

So, this - I guess - is what my chat requests screen looks like.

Dancer (The) @dancerv.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Because I love it when my fucking PC monitor interrupts me to tell me that there's some update to terms and conditions. Gotta grab the remote to get rid of it. #samsung you are trash.

When I was, oh... 14 years old, I think. I went to see Lysistrata (or at least a fairly faithful adaption of Aristophanes' work) at the La Boite Theatre in Brisbane. Now, the thing to remember in this story is that I *looked* 18+, but I was only 14.

#Ostranauts will be a slightly safer place for NPCs, I suppose. Truly a Dwarf Fortress level of patch note.

Except the bit where US forces were firing on Iranian cargo ships.

Now that the Controller 2 has a price and a release date, it has topped the Upcoming list... But what's with the 'mature content' screenshots? Is this hardware naughtier than expected, or what?

Fucking called it. Not an ounce of brains, tact, or decency in that head of his. His self-serving nature is singleminded.

Because Judges have a jolly sense of humour and are always happy to laugh along when you make avoidable fuckups out of laziness.

I'm untethered and upright. I'll be out of the cath lab soon.
