@fxchip @whitequark @ch33sus@mstdn.social please remain where you are and await the Multiversal Leakage Prevention Team which has been despatched to your location.
I don’t know how but Tesco have somehow made a grocery shopping app which brings an iPhone 15 to its knees. Constant freezes in the UI and my phone became uncomfortably warm to hold on to while using it.
Comedy end to humanity: Everybody involved in the UK’s nuclear deterrence program assumes somebody else told the sub captains about Radio 4 long wave being turned off.
Shout out to @gimblll who’s gone above and beyond in providing a custom build of Sektori that we can hook it up to the lighting.
A while ago I put a throwaway thought in the EMF Arcade team’s channel. As all things EMF do its escalated somewhat and there’s now a schedule of evening entertainment, including this, a nightclub soundtracked by people playing music focused games: https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2026/294-synaesthesia
Something for the #EMFCamp first-timers: it's impossible to see everything *and that's OK*

@0xabad1dea Altman probably heard about this and said he liked its hustle.
Ahhh, the relaxing sound of angle grinders on a Saturday morning as the buy-to-let landlords either side of me strip out newly purchased properties.
@jmacarthur I wouldn’t mind so much if it weren’t for the fact looking at a window seal funny will cause this place to immediately leak all the heat I’ve put into it during winter.
@jmacarthur I feel you there. 20c with a light breeze outside and despite having every window open it’s still 27 inside.
@jackeric yeah, pretty sure my 71 year old Dad would appreciate that about as much as me suggesting he simply throw his phone in a lake and walk away.
It may be time to throw down the “turn off autocorrect or stop fucking moaning about it in every message you send” gauntlet to my Dad again. We’re three for three this evening.
This is just to say
I have valued
the goose
that was in
your portfolio
And which you
were probably
saving for
the eggs
Forgive me
it was annualized
depreciated
and written off.
Why do hosts on produced podcasts speak. So. Slowly? (I’m aware you can speed it up, it’s not me listening to this podcast, just hearing it in the background)
Free TV show idea if anyone fancies pitching it to Netflix: All The Gear, a cookery competition show in which amateur chefs have a selection of kitchen gadgets, some ingredients, and one hour to make a two course meal. They do not have any pans.
@bob I’m not sure if this is better or worse than the company where marketing independently hired a freelance Wordpress guy to add a bunch of user/referral tracking to quite a complex application who the actual development team then had to handhold through the whole process. It would 100% have been quicker for us to do it ourselves but corporate shenanigans meant it wasn’t going to get prioritised for months.
@wamonite I discovered earlier while using the aircon as a big fan pointing out the window (with cooling turned off, I’m not a monster) that it also dumps warm air from inside out through the exhaust hose in that mode. This is ideal because my exhaust hose is hooked up to the extractor fan vent in my kitchen.
@pikesley what a film, and this week you get the full 4D experience as it’ll feel like you’re in a jungle throughout.
Excuse the banal post but I’m really bored of this heat now. My flat hasn’t got below 28c since Wednesday morning and I’m already dripping with sweat. For the next time round I’ll be augmenting the newly purchased aircon unit with some big fans to dump as much hot air out of the windows as possible overnight.
I have a spare live-in vehicle ticket for the @emf
Is anyone interested?

@robinhouston @emf @stecks those are some really big sticks of plasticine.
The aircon is quite effective now it’s not being fed with a constant new supply of 30 degree air.
For fucks sake. Spent all day with the curtains and blinds shut, sitting in the gloom, wondering why the aircon was so ineffectual, only to find whilst I was in the kitchen just now I’d opened the windows in their last night and then forgotten because they were behind the blinds.
