  • I loved Linux Voice back when it was still published. They had a series of articles on writing your own kernel in x86_64 ASM that I followed and ran on QEMU back when I was a philosophy student. It really cemented my interest in tech and now I do that for a living.

    Edit: Linux Voice folded into Linux Format sometime around 10+ years ago

  • Sinners and Stranger Than Fiction so far.

    Sinners was a bit of a mess but it was stylish and I thought there was an interesting moral ambiguity to the supernatural element that has kept me thinking about it for a few days.

    Stranger Than Fiction is quite old now but a fun drama/comedy with Will Ferrel which seems like it must have influenced The Stanley Parable game.

  • This is ridiculous. Firearms officers in the UK volunteer for the additional training/responsibility of operating a firearm. There is no incentive for any of them to volunteer if saving your colleague from being crushed by a car driven by a career criminal results in criminal prosecution and internal disciplinary procedures.

  • I dislike having top-level directories in $HOME that aren't storing media or documents. Some linux ports of games are awful for littering your homedir or Documents. Just lazy devs. Put it all in ~/.local please folks!

  • It really depends on the board how toxic it is.

    People don't realise how similar to reddit it is where there are dodgy subreddits like /r/thedonald or the incel-coded streamer ones that you just learn to avoid when using it.

    I haven't checked if it was still up but one of the oldest posts on 4chan - it had been up for 10+ years - was on the papercraft and origami board following one person's progress in building an extremely complicated origami clock that actually functioned as a clock.

  • Irish people ask me what part of Ireland I’m from. I must do an amazing Irish accent despite being Scottish and have never visited there. I blame the fact that central Edinburgh doesn’t have a strong Scottish accent and lots of Londoners/Americans study here.

  • Y'all are some sick mofos. I'm a rookie over here with sometimes only one dicofenac daily for my rheumatoid arthritis condition. Early 30s.

    At one point last year I had hourly eye-drops, with a separate set of drops to take every ~6 hours in December. That was unusual though due to uveitis.

    It has been a good few months for GamePass

    I've been playing through Avowed since it came out and loving it. Although admittedly I was already a big Pillars of Eternity fan.

    Then South of Midnight has come out recently and blown me away. I had low expectations but it is pretty much a new Psychonauts game.

    The puzzler Chants of Senaar has been very fun so far with a unique take on the puzzle genre in terms of learning a new symbol based language.

    Finally Blue Prince comes out today and it's got 10/10 review across the board. I feel like I am getting good value from my sub at the moment.

    BBC Radio Scotland Rugby Podcast - Six Nations: Beattie - 'Scotland need complete performance against France' - BBC Sounds

    How many times have we heard about the elusive 80 minute performance? That said I think Scotland can give France a scare before Les Bleus ultimately triumph

    Couldn't find a way to share at a specific timestamp but if you go to 57:30 then Asterix and his fellow Gauls discover rugby from Les Bretons. Great lots of great rugby related gags!

    Also found it interesting as a british person to hear the brits speak French with their accent. That's less rugby related though.

    AM2R (Unofficial Metroid 2 Remake)

    This game is unbelievable for an indie dev to create for free. Production values are through the roof. It plays like Zero Mission on the GBA and arguably does a better job of remaking the classic than the official 3DS Samus Returns game.

    I'm playing on PC but there is also an Android APK if you search for it.

    I'll probably stick to asking for oat milk instead of "porridge water" or whatever the new mandated name will be. To be honest I do think calling it "milk" lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

    Lib Dem leader challenges Kier Starmer to a game of FIFA and will dance on TikTok every day until he accepts

    WTF is this shit Ed? I think I'm going to revoke my membership. Voted Labour last time anyway so my heart hasn't really been in it this year... At least I was able to vote against Layla Moran becoming leader a few years back.

    Videos on WhatsApp showing neds trashing cars and setting off fireworks through letter boxes of random houses. There’s a police helicopter over Niddrie. This is basically a riot every year! Authorities need to clamp down on this somehow.

    Why is Labour so puritanical?

    This is spectator so they are taking the most extreme right wing viewpoint on Labour's recent policies to improve the nation's health. I disagree with how they characterise it for the most part but they do seem to put their finger on the kind of authoritarian impulses inside the party. Definitely think the author misses the mark with their badly thought out/unsupported angle about it being patronising class politics.

    I was too young to take in much when John Major was in power but remember New Labour with Blair/Brown very well. They were also keen to make similar kind of policies that were - for lack of a better phrase - nanny state-ish. I found it interesting thinking about that legacy.

    Should also mention that both parties tend towards these types of policies. I suspect the civil service are keen on them and they test well in focus groups.

    Article is paywalled so will post it in comments.

    Digital Underground (feat. Tupac) - Same Song

    If Digital Underground were able to make more consistent albums then they'd be my favourite group ever. The best tracks are unreal but then the skits, etc. drag the whole thing down on repeated listens.

    This could have major repercussions for the game as we know it. The RFU has already reduced the amount of contact allowed in the grassroots of the game. Will the product we all love survive a legal tsunami if this ends in a court ruling?

    I always wonder if you could get players to sign away their rights to sue but I'm pretty certain that would not be legally enforceable, alongside being totally exploitative.

    I find The National frequently embarassing as a Scottish person. Enjoying seeing them squirm here.
