Ooh ah up da Ra!

(my posts were being ironic, sorry if you thought i was being sincere)

“Compassion” and “humanity”. What’s that? More communism?

Hol’ up, that sounds like communism.

Don’t you mean Jeb!

“Advertising doesn’t work on me!” I mutter smugly, before loading up the Apple keynote to see what my next phone will do.

and those that do post don’t really interact with others

I’ve found quite the opposite on Mastodon. I get WAY more interaction on there than I ever did on Twitter.

I do a radio show on Monday nights. Despite having more followers on Twitter I never really managed to attract many listeners. Dropped it for a few years and started up again a few months back, publicising solely through Mastodon. Engagement with it is three or four times what it was before.

It’s essentially a request show, and there have been a couple of weeks where I’ve not had to pick any songs to fill the time, all of it has been filled by listener requests.

That said, that’s only my experience, it may be different for others.

Yep, that’s the one. Utter shithouses.

Yes, I can’t see why people would hear ‘Autopilot’ and think it had anything at all to do with full self driving.

Opencore Legacy Patcher, but for cars. Nice.

This was really thrown into sharp focus for me a couple of years back, when I read an article about how people with ocular implants are being left to go blind again because the company who made their implant has been bought by another company who doesn’t want to continue support.

I just can’t think about how callous that is, and if a company doesn’t give a shit about that, why would they give a shit about a car?

I’m a fat guy, so I’m not here to shame Trump for being fat. But my brother in christ, the man can’t keep himself healthy, let alone an entire fucking country.

Because a huge part of their business model over the past twenty years has been the upsell.

I bought my first MacBook in 2007. It had 2gb of RAM as standard. I asked about upgrading it, the guy told me to pick some up online as it would be waaaay cheaper, and he was right. Did the same for the MacBook Pro that replaced it a few years later, but in the meantime they moved to the soldered model so had to swallow the cost of the 16gb ‘upgrade’ in my M2 Air.

To be fair, the cost over time of my Macs has been incredible. My 2011 MBP is still trucking along, these days running Linux Mint. With the cost to upgrade the RAM and replace the HDD with an SSD, all in it cost me around £1200. Less than £100 a year for a laptop that still works perfectly fine.

I thought that too, but just looking at his channel it seems that he’s only done the storage on an M1 mini, not RAM.

Sadly.

I was in Corfu last week when the news of the Epic store came about, so tried to install it on my UK registered iPhone. All I got was a notification telling me that my phone isn’t eligible.

So yeah, no Fortnite in my phone for me. Not that I really care about that, I just like fiddling with shit.

One Rudy, One Cup.

I guess he’s really starting to regret voting for Trump then.

drops monocle Britishly

My TV is a smart TV whose smart features I never, ever use because the first thing it does is switch to the input my Apple TV is on.

Ironic really that the reason I chose an LG is because webOS seems less cunty than Android TV and whatever shit Samsung are offering. But I still never use it.
