Saw someone say that the more save games you have on a battery-backed cartridge the faster the battery will deplete and I honestly can't tell if they're trying to trick people into wiping their cherished 16-bit era game saves or genuinely believe that. Like, how is that even possible? Whether you're holding a specific flip-flop high or low, doesn't that take the same power? Why am I doubting myself? Intuitively it makes no difference, does it? What the hell? #SRAM #RetroGaming

I'm trying to get into #Constellation on Apple TV+ but I just can't. It doesn't make any sense. Giving up after 2 episodes

I share this pearl of wisdom from @michelle every year because it's always valid:

"I think we should all pretend every day is april fools day, because being critical of sources online is actually not a bad thing."

@derickr should there be a photo? I don't see anything

When someone leaves our team we tend to get together for games night online. Past and present members of the team are invited. We've done it tonight and I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed so much. I've been (and am) so lucky to work with these people and to call them my friends

Well damn. Turns out that 5G has got nothing to do with vaccine injections. Who knew?

The #Lego #Dune #Ornithopter has arrived today. But I'm not allowed to have it until my birthday 😭

#PHP question: if you want to send a message with a signature so that the recipient can verify authenticity, but you want a asymmetric solution with private/public keys, are there options other than openssl_sign() and openssl_verify(), or are these the way to go?

I've never owned an iPhone in my life, but given the direction that Alphabet/Google are heading in, I think my current Pixel 6 will be the last Android phone I ever daily drive. They've always been intrusive but I deemed it acceptable given what I got in return. But their services are rapidly turning to shit, and I don't want any part of their fucking AI bollocks

My son and I have both received these spam messages over @signalapp this past couple of days. Never a problem in the past but these messages are coming from people with no phone number. How are they messaging us?

I may have become a little obsessed with Yubikeys…

I thought I was a lot better today, but apparently @brunty could tell that I was ill over Signal messages, so maybe I'm not yet 😂

You usually use far more words 😉

I've said this loads of times in the past, but we need to encourage more companies and products to have otron in their names. It's gone out of fashion and needs to come back!

I'd far rather use The Googlotron than Google. Youtubotron is better than Youtube. Mastodonotron just rolls off the tongue. And wouldn't you like to use the microwavotron to reheat your pizza? (Yes, I know microwaves contain a magnetron. Why were they not called magnetron ovens?)

Wow. I am totally shocked. Shocked, I tell you. The head of the UAE oil company says there's no science for reducing global temperature rises by cutting fossil fuel use. So surprised. Who'd have thought it?

Software engineers, ever feel like this is your motto?

Slack threads are the best example of a good idea that's absolute garbage. Having a conversation in a channel, the conversation goes in one direction but someone wants to carry on where they were, so they pick a comment before it changed course and reply in a thread. Now, the only people involved in the conversation are the original commenter and the person who created the thread. Everyone else is oblivious. Terrible implementation

Watching the F1, Martin Brundle's talking about the "brake by wire system. BBW as you'll hear it referred to". So off I go Googling BBW...
