Now that Bandcamp tracks can be embedded on Bluesky, I can post one of my favourites from @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social's epic45: waysideandwoodlandrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/people...

“We are as one” - my Wordle solution today is identical to the Wordlebot’s (words hidden to avoid spoiler). Am I thinking more like it does, or is it thinking more like me?

It's a challenge. Last year I had a video interview with an applicant claiming to be in Stoke. Whoever actually joined the call was in a busy Far East cyber cafe with his cap pulled down over his face. Another kept pausing for 10 seconds after each question, then gave perfect AI-sourced answers.

I’m off to Wembley later to see Oasis 🥳 which completes the Britpop Big Four of gigs within the last two years: Blur (Wembley in 2023), Suede (Ally Pally in 2024), Pulp (O2 in June) and now Oasis.

Hey Carl! Ah such a long time ago now! You played your part in its success. Of course it was all basically a ruse to get into the Union for free when bands were on.
1-0 to the Arsenal! Brilliant performance from Arsenal Women to win the Champions League. So pleased for them. Watched it with my sons who were jumping around 🏆👏

You were in Codicote, the village where I live! We take my kids up to Spoke after we've been on a country walk. Good coffee and always fun watching the goats play.
My favourite band, Gene, are reuniting for their first gig in 21 years 🎉 I was at their last one in… 2004. See you in Hammersmith 🤩 www.nme.com/news/music/g...

I was just adding a gig I’m going to on Last.fm when I saw my “member since” date: 16 August 2004 😯. That’s 20 years of scrobbling (since its Audioscrobbler days). Newer than my Gmail account but older than Twitter.

"Threads is a gripping, miserable experience” https://www.theverge.com/24060504/threads-review-a-miserable-experience). @verge@mastodon.social on Threads (not that one), the post-apocalyptic 1984 British film, still the most harrowing thing I've watched. I own it on DVD. I must watch it again.
I'm getting the dreaded rattling noise from one bud of my original AirPods Pro, but only when using noise cancellation. A half-hour with Apple Support generated a quote of £246 to fix or replace. I may as well just buy brand new! For now I'll use my pair as dumb AirPods 🤷

My Logitech C920 was flickering until I used their Logitune app which enabled options to change the refresh rate. Might help?

Archimedes Live (@arclive@oldbytes.space) is a WebAssembly-powered Acorn Archimedes emulator. It's fun using RISC OS again and loading disc images of games I played in the early 1990s. https://archi.medes.live
I’m in! And also using my custom domain name FTW 😎
I'm treating my job search like a full-time job and finding I'm just as busy with calls and messages. I have a few exciting roles at early stages and feeling positive. I'm also enjoying swapping leads with other ex-colleagues - something positive out of all the #layoffs.
