@hyperreal I’ve not played it but I was struck by how similar it looked to No Man’s Sky. I expect the similarity is mostly surface level but the optics of that (billion dollar studio ripping off beloved indie) put me off it at launch time.

@jwz not on your list, but “allow signal to [insert thing here]” -> No -> “we’ll ask you again later” is still a thing.

@stilgherrian web forms not accepting ‘+’ is still a problem even today. Worse, companies whose sites accept it one day and reject it later on (after you’ve signed up)

Is it time to buy the dip yet?

@algernon there is such a list, apparently. John Gruber blogged recently whinging about being on it

I continue to believe that Bitwarden's recent UI changes are objectively worse and I'm still grumpy about it.

@metacosm I should add that I was off sick for a long time last year, and my team-mates clubbed together and got me a voucher which paid for the Korg Minilogue XD. My team is awesome. IBM are lucky to be getting us.

@metacosm oh that's cool. The smaller one, the microfreak, was on my shortlist (https://jmtd.net/log/synths/microfreak/) — I might still pick it up one day, as it can be used portably with a powerbank

@revk Oh! I didn't notice (and I can't see the tag right now, in my client) — tagging is, I think, sufficient, so thank you.

@dneary @evan FWIW I don't personally believe WW2 started with Pearl Harbor, but I believe that many do.

@bencc @beasts that’s a good innings. I think mine is at about 12 years old. Still older than my flesh children!

@evan no option for Pearl Harbor?

@revk its convention to spoiler-tag toots like this “uspol”. Would you consider that in future please?

@metacosm Korg minilogue XD. Gathering dust atm :(

@zhenech @stdevel I've always wanted to explore that stuff. I have a ThinkPad Yoga 260 which I might play with once I submit

@zhenech @stdevel Go on, tell me more about the X61t. Does it have the 1024x768TN display or the better ones? Have you modernized it at all?

@gregoa_ tbh I'm still keen. Just not sure what my niche should be. I want to avoid doing something too package-centric. DPL time always depresses me, as most platforms (not picking on anyone in particular) are still very package-centric. IMHO our biggest problems are much more structural, social, high level…

Writing this toot purely so I can click on the result and follow

@pndc I’ve been considering polite requests to use content filters but anticipate unpleasant consequences
