Someone in Audible mngmnt, (a cunt), makes the UX ppl ensure that almost every time u switch to the app, it doesn’t show a full screen player, but makes it a bar at the bottom, with a fucking ad above. Oh, and the small Play button? It’s DISABLED UNTIL THE FUCKING AD LOADS. #design #greed #arrogance

Coding go-to music is C418 Minecraft. I often hear the opening track & remember playing Minecraft in 2010. It was in Beta, I knew essentially nothing about it & just began playing. It was a unique gaming experience. Minutes in, strolling around an idyll, and then beautiful, unexpected music. Amazing

The Conservatives have turned some things in the UK to shit, so much so it’s making people ill. Where are the pre-Brexit EU clean water laws when you want them? How careful do the directors of water companies feel they need to be under the Conservatives?

I'm very new to this but so far it's definitely been a way better experience than X. Haven't really seen anything toxic. Hopefully it keeps growing and stays nice and clean. X is rotten to the core.

Bluesky passed 2 million users in the last couple of days, and while it's no longer the "Hellthreads and ALF hogs" place of its youth (i.e., in April), it's still done a pretty good job of (mostly) having a welcome and funky vibe. Thanks, folks, for keeping Bluesky weird. Let's keep at it.
