  • All software eventually becomes email. All email software eventually becomes chat.

  • Surely even Price super-fans find a seven hour, seventy-five song deluxe version of Diamonds and Pearls a little too much.

    Streaming service cover display and title of the Prince album "Diamonds and Pearls (Super Deluxe Edition)". The album details show it is from 2023 with 75 songs and a run time of 7 hours, 7 minutes.
  • If you like a dark comedy (and we’re talking vantablack dark), then give Am I Being Unreasonable on SBS On Demand a go.

    Written by cast members Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli it’s starts with the former’s bit on the side dying in a tragic accident and just gets darker and darker from there.

    We just finished the second series and are very eagerly waiting on the BBC to commission a third.

  • “I am not the beta in this relationship” I try to convince myself as I open the bedroom blinds mainly so the cat can lie on the bed and have a good bake in full sun.

  • Maybe, just maybe, if I have a google form open in two tabs with different content in each it’s because I want to submit two of them. Maybe, just maybe, I don’t want the content of one form to overwrite the contents of another.

    Current status: on DuckDuckGo googling the process required to get a trademark genericized.

  • I’m still disappointed at how quickly Castle became the very thing it started off parodying. I should probably let it go.

  • I really, really, really wish that whoever named pull requests pull requests had named them merge requests instead.

    It makes explaining both git and GitHub to a new users so much more complicated. While explaining the concept of git push and git pull the existence of pull requests makes things so needlessly confusing.

  • That thing when you go to steal someone’s code (open-source!!!) and you can’t help but form opinions about it and end up submitting a pull request.

    I have a problem.

  • Three banking phishing scams this afternoon alone.
