Peter Molyneux continues to re-invent himself. His newest "god game" claims to have the ability to code any game you like, on demand. Just as you'd expect from an omnipotent deity!…

Perl, for all its quirkiness, remains my favourite language - even though I've never done any professional work in it, and I took it up long after its glory days. A shame how it pl…

I used telnet to send mail via SMTP once, it's quite literally a good social protocol because it begins with a polite 'HELO'.

Aw, but what have you against kawaii?

Aside from that, I don't want to take responsibility for that which I don't understand. And even if I can read the code generated by a LLM, that's not the same as thinking through …

They are committed. I found this kernel extensions project: https://github.com/i486/VxKex Perhaps that'd be the OpenRCT2 fanatics' salvation.

Wild shot - but I wonder whether the newly emancipated Last.FM are looking to hire? I've loved the site since I got my old account back in 2024. Recently I created a fun widget mak…

I've found the support email address. It might still be open for support queries. If you send me an email I'll send you what I know. My email address is in my profile.

Get in touch with LFM support, it's good. I hadn't used my LFM since 2011, but I remembered my old email address that was likely used with the account. I emailed support asking the…

I wish Apple Music would support scrobbling to the Last.FM API like Spotify, but to get the ball rolling we'd need someone on the Apple Music team who can nudge it up the list.

Would be nice but it can't be done. I stopped scrobbling in 2011, then found out the site was still alive in 2024, one email to support later and I was back in. I wanted to import …

I agree. Someone should have this dangerous man sectioned.

Hey, if you make your money from playing to an audience, you can take a little joke ;)

Looks pretty cool. Reminds me also of Metropolis 1998, which is also going for the isometric style - with a lot more detail, i.e. you can design individual homes and see the lives …

That spliced in USB hub looks messy. Does a new controller necessitate Xinput? I assume Windows still supports DirectInput, which was used in the past with more complex controllers…

I remember renaming .html files as .hta and thinking I was a developer.

I've a Compag Armada E500, and it runs Windows 98 fairly swiftly with its PIII processor and 256MB RAM. I've also a 2009 MacBook and it runs Snow Leopard like a dream, yet with "on…

I got my Steam Deck that month, so pleased to be a part of it. The Deck fills a gap that has been empty in my soul since the PSP was discontinued, and feels like a genuine step for…

1-3 are covered by package managers in pretty much every Linux distro and BSD.

I keep track of these on my website, Well Made Web. You may like a visit: https://wmw.thran.uk/

They aren't comparable. Showing an ID to a staff member isn't stripping my anonymity. I know the retailer won't have that on file forever, tied to me on subsequent visits. Also the…

He curates his own tags. I knew it. https://github.com/riverscuomo/mp3tagger

This is the coolest thing I've seen in months. Licence it as beerware, then I'm obliged to owe you one.

Nothing any government in my lifetime has done has arrested this feeling of decay, decline and desperation. It's like the occupational political class has a miserable vendetta and …
