JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 15/08/2026My condolences to you and your family and her friends for the loss 000
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 31/07/2026There's a blast from the past! I listened to "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" so much back in the day... I must listen to it again 010
Reposted by JPSasha's Retrobytes 🏳️⚧️ @sharkabytes.bsky.social · 29/07/2026If you've got even an ounce of a soul in your body, you don't touch anything by ModRetro. It's too intrinsically linked to Palmer Luckey and his cohorts. I know the vast majority of you haven't and won't, but it's always worth a fresh reminder. 281277659

JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Next obvious place to branch to from the clowns they usually have 🥁 120
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 22/04/2026So *that's* where you got it from! 🤣 I kid, I kid, always enjoyed your puns, never change! 020
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Aye, a bit predictable; the impression I get is that the whole strength-training culture is very routed in "traditional masculinity", and that's a group right-wing nutjobs have targeted fairly heavily. Still a shame though; it'd be nice to have more big, strong lunks that were progressive 😞 000
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Just looking at their big happy faces, I have no doubt of it! 000
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 28/03/2026God they’re adorable! As a former big-dog owner who sadly can’t have a dog at the moment, thank you for your delightful doggos with us, I live vicariously through posts like these! 000
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 21/03/2026There’s a sexy C64 themed version of it too with double-shot keycaps. When I saw it and the calculator display I ordered immediately! 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 15/03/2026It's a complex subject for sure. I read a fascinating article last year about language plays a part in physical colour perception in different cultures, with evidence that language may fundamentally rewire parts of our perceptual hardware: www.neuroetpsycho.com/en/himba-hid...neuroetpsycho.comThe Himba and the hidden colors of the world - Neuro & PsychoHow does language shape our perception of color? Explore the unique way the Himba people see the world. 011
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Hmm... I feel like it's more of a test of a monitor's capabilities than anything else. I mean yes, human colour vision is going to play a large role, but unless everyone is using an equally capable, equally calibrated monitor, I don't know how useful it is despite what his well-written article says 110
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 03/03/2026You should make a low-poly version of the “Bliss” wallpaper for Windows XP! 120
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I know what you mean! I wrote something similar in JS two years ago for processing image files for a handheld emulation console; discovering that using true bilinear filtering when downscaling images wasn't really what graphics apps did... that was a real rabbit hole! 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Fair play to Tusker! Man, I hate that kind of stingy corporate nickel-and-dime bullshit. 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Hey, we can see your profile photo you know, you're much higher than a 4! 😊 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Don't you live in constant fear that you'll go to pay for something just as your phone dies?! 😱 000
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 20/12/2025The good news is that the existing 3DS is still totally excellent, and that’s not going to change! 000
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Congratulations! Fair play for taking that big, scary step, and I'm delighted it worked out with your family! 👏 110
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Something else worth mentioning; if your CPU is of the same vintage as your GPU, then upgrading your GPU alone might not give you all the performance you expect - old CPUs can bottle-neck new GPUs. Upgrading your CPU may also require upgrading your motherboard as well (depending on your socket type) 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Same… and yet somehow it never occurs to me that the reverse is also true; and if I never reach out because I assume they’re busier than I am and any message from me is an interruption, then I probably seem like I don’t care or amn’t interested, even when I really do or am. Stoopid toxic trait 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 18/11/2025I empathise; never being the one to initiate contact with friends due to assuming I’m just going to be bothering or interrupting them is something I struggle with myself 110
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Those plates mean “keep your distance from this car”… most are fine, but some… you’d wonder how they passed their tests 010
JP @johnbear.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Hope your recovery goes smoothly and you get back on your feet soon! 000
