Mister Jones @misterjones.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I'd be interested in reading a history of the pre-internet Warez scene. I knew kids in the 80s that had huge collections of bootleg games, but never learned where they came from, who was behind it, how they were distributed, etc. Anyone know any good books on the subject? 010

Mister Jones @misterjones.bsky.social · 04/06/2026TFW you think you have this great research idea. You spend months polishing it & selling it to profs. Then, as you search the literature, you find a paper that had the same core idea. Time to dig in & see if there's enough non-superficial differences to still salvage this. 110
Mister Jones @misterjones.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Are there songs that soothe headaches (or are at least headache-friendly)? I want to tinker with my ukulele, but I want to be gentle to a loved one who isn't feeling well. I'm thinking that slow ballads like Greensleeves or Scarborough Fair might be OK. Any other ones come to mind? 030
