I keep finding this kind of thing in news articles funny:

It's been a few years I visited , but this year the tech conference theme was excellently executed.

The entrance of speaker room 8, looking like the entrance of a fun ride or haunted house ride. The entrance is the mouth of a clown face with green hair and blue skin.
Acrobats and jugglers spicing things up inside the venue. The ceiling is decorated with a garland of colored flags.
A Ferris wheel outside the venue, shot against a blue sky.

@RustyBertrand Makes me think of those YT videos where they claim Rihanna's Umbrella is about worshiping the devil. 🤪

Does anyone else here use #Tusky as their main mastodon accessing thing on their phone?

When I'm catching up on the overnight it seems to skip hours at a time which gets to be annoying.

I end up filling in the gaps on the default Mastodon app which I'm less keen on because of the jiggling "new post" marker that is constantly, and redundantly, at the top.

@n3wjack@mastodon.social avatar

@radiophobicsherkpop I haven't noticed this, but I don't compare it with another app so I don't know how I would.

@radiophobicsherkpop haven't noticed this. Only boosted posts don't seem to be chronological.

@n3wjack@mastodon.social avatar

@radiophobicsherkpop @keefmarshall yeah, that load more thing is annoying. I used to miss that one, and end up in posts I saw the day before. 😂

@DavidBlue I wonder if people learned their lesson from previous APIs like Twitter and Reddit.

It's been a while since I blogged, but this one is just in time for the upcoming Bandcamp Friday.
Great electronic music I ran into last year: https://n3wjack.net/2024/05/01/musical-discoveries-of-2023/

What do you think folks, should I update https://vimebook.com to only or should I stick to and create separate content for ?

n3wjack,
@n3wjack@mastodon.social avatar

@vjousse As a Vim user, I find it quite annoying that when I search for something Vim related, I find Neovim plugins or posts.
So the ideal thing for me would be that your content is available for both. Vim is not going away, but it's annoying that a lot of Vim content is being "polluted" by Neovim stuff.

If you provide both version, people can choose their favorite.
Also, it would be interesting to see which side it most popular.

I'm about to update my book on but as I am now mostly using , I'm a little bit outdated about plugin management. What would you recommend instead of pathogen (for vim, not for neovim)?

n3wjack,
@n3wjack@mastodon.social avatar

@vjousse I still use Vundle. It's simple and does the job.
I thought about switching to Vim's native plugin model, but that doesn't have any way of easily updating all plugins, so that's a no-no really.

Found out yesterday that the Duolingo course now offers learning music. Going to give it a try to see if it helps me to get my head around notation (again: it seemed fairly straightforward when I was 8).

@BigJackBrass Only on iOS for now?

There’s this trope in zombie movies where the outbreak is just starting to take hold and the viewer catches glimpses of news reports about the emerging threat on TVs that are unnoticed in the background.

The characters don’t know that the world is ending just yet, but the viewer has a premonition of the disaster that’s just ahead.

Anyhow, feeling a bit of this about H5N1 at the moment.

@mick The bird flu in cattle in the US?
Yeah. I had an "uh-oh" moment when I read about that.

@mick ouch, didn't read about that. 😬

The greatest MMORPGs blind you to the fact that they are stealing your time and money via tedious gameplay mechanics by making you feel totally immersed in a world that's better than real life.

n3wjack,
@n3wjack@mastodon.social avatar

@buru5 True, but that also makes it fun (to some extent).
I lost interest in No Man's Sky for example once the main story was completed. You can do anything you want in it, but without goals it just gets boring quickly.
The expeditions are fun though.

I pick up that cool foldable Samsung phone in the store today. First thing it tells me is to check out the new Samsung AI assistant.

Fuck that shit.

KBC is one of the big Belgian banks, and they introduced a "digital currency" named Kate Coins (Kate is an assistant in their app).
So you can now earn money by doing things in the app? That's right, but you have to allow the "Advanced features" in the app, which basically means you are giving up your privacy.

Next to trying to gamify you into giving up your privacy, they are also making their basic account paid as of June, so you're basically paying for your own Kate Coins anyway.

I am begging people to stop blogging with substack (email bookclubs aside).

every time I click a link it bothers me TWICE to sign in. TWO different pop-ups. I am not accessing these illicitly (well maybe thinks so) these are not subscriber only articles. I just want to read the article you are sharing that proves your point.

Get a blog (not wordpress though) with an RSS feed. Or at least use a less obnoxious service. No, medium is NOT less obnoxious.
I beg you.

@fistfulofdave @lapis I doubt there is such a thing. Self hosted is fine though. Same here, I love how low maintenance WP is these days. Everything auto-updates.

I have finally pushed myself to start the Man in the High Castle and while the topic is heavy (definitely why I waited for so long), this is quickly becoming one of my favourite shows. A few days later, and i'm already in S4.

@Digitalyn One for the watch list it seems.
Thanks for suggesting Yellowjackets btw, it's great. 🙂
