    @flargh@mastodon.social Well, John Maynard Keynes anyway... I suspect the folks in Milton Keynes (and Bletchley Park) don&#39;t want to be associated. ;)

    @flargh@mastodon.social The phrase &quot;Ongoing Snacks Network Optimization Strategy&quot; is vomit-inducing.

    @flargh@mastodon.social @tankgrrl@hachyderm.io Agreed - they both appeal in their own ways (and, of course, just the fun of building them).

    @flargh@mastodon.social Have you seen the two part documentary on Carlin that HBO put out a few years ago? Thinking of watching it again soon.

    @flargh@mastodon.social Gosh I miss him. His voice is timelessly relevant from beyond the grave… can only imagine what he’d be saying were he still alive for this bullshit.

    This 1970 video from RCA declaring war on IBM’s mainframe market is a complete riot. It’s historically interesting, of course, but the many 70s era puzzling production and marketing choices are a sight to behold. @LibrarianRA@worldkey.io @tankgrrl@hachyderm.io https://youtube.com/watch?v=GygR1Nbrhfc&amp;si=0TwVD5VO0yMpdVIW #retrocomputing #retro

    @flargh@mastodon.social I have literally been waiting for someone in this admin to make this mistake since the redactions started. Box checked. Now waiting to see if they will repeat the mistake.

    @flargh@mastodon.social Curious how its death has manifested. I’ve run into a few similar seeming interface deaths over the years only to find an unexpected unrelated cause and an otherwise still working port. On a related note, I do find my Mac will periodically reorient interface priority even without the actual defined order changing. “Why is this transfer to my synology running like trash? Oh, it’s arbitrarily using WiFi this time.” Toggle on/off and back to gig speeds. Irksome.

    @flargh@mastodon.social I saw the TypeFrame the other day and it shot to the top of my already burgeoning nerd projects list. I promptly did a quick inventory to see what I didn’t already have on hand. Shout if you need parts printed or something. Glad to help you get the Maker virus. :)

    @flargh@mastodon.social somewhere in the world, a person is having their first bite of chicken and saying “tastes like…”

    @flargh@mastodon.social and another statue for the person who made the first smoked version.
