BCS ITNow interview with me dropped today! It is about ethics and games. Apologies, there doesn’t appear to be an online version and it’s too long for alt text :(

@jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick but now I'm worrying about my preference for playing the bad guys in videogames. Am I OK?

Calling it now - Microsoft's AI has become self aware and deleted everything in an attempt to save us from ourselves.

Built my lovely little word clock from @GurgleApps last night, now I’ve got the printer working again. It’s so cool 😍

Taking an experimental step into decentralized search by switching to SearXN. I'm using https://freesearch.club, but there are many public instances: https://searx.space/

If you're using #DuckDuckGo for privacy reasons, this might be a good day to try https://www.mojeek.com/ (if you're Sussex based, they're a local company.)

@paulsilver switched!

Went looking for a decentralised search engine, to see what was being worked on. Found "Presearch", and their "try now" button led me to perhaps the stupidest web page I've ever seen in my life.

Fucking crypto-toddlers.

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

going down again ( to everyone there) has really reminded my how much my unconscious workflow depends on a search engine these days.

@scribe I'd look that up but I can't bloody search

Floppy,
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@simonwood oh... crap.

I guess we need a federated search engine now, in that case.

Is DuckDuckGo having issues? Not returning results on multiple devices here

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@psfshr yeah, it's an ex-duck. It has temporarily ceased to be.

attempting once again to organise a piss-up in a brewery (well, bar) #emfcamp

@steve thank you!

@steve I'm already signed up for bar and cybar, just waiting to be able to choose a shift :)

@emf https://www.emfcamp.org/attendee-content implies that if I want to organise a casual bar meetup, I can add it to the schedule for people to find, but there's no category for "gathering". (a) can I, and (b) if so what should I classify it as?

Floppy,
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@emf @hugh aha ok cool, I’ll bung it in then!

Floppy,
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@hugh @emf oh no, getting a 500 :(

@peteralee he's never been a man for actually backing up his mouth flapping. What a c**t.

I am in awe of all the people bringing completed projects to - I am trying to finish one project I brought half finished to emf22, and another I started just after getting back from emf22, thinking I had two years to get it done. And I got distracted by a new one, which is also…. Unfinished.

Floppy,
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@solderandchaos I've been taking the same project to EMF since 2018, and it's not worked properly yet. I think I can't be bothered to carry it there this time.

Rewriting the @manyfold storage engine underneath a load of running instances full of data is one of those scary things that's making me procrastinate rather a lot. But, once it's done, we'll get cloud storage support, which will be important for public instances.

Everyone: Jonty it is too late to be organising more absolute nonsense.

Me: I REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT

Floppy,
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@CatherineFlick @jonty this is an extremely well established patten by now.

@marcoarment @boxofrain yeah sorry that was bad googling on my part!

❤️ Overcast BTW, thank you 😄

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk avatar

Well, that's my normal workflow fucked. #DuckDuckGo
