- Comment on "Section 31" early review round-up 1 week ago:
I’d like to be optimistic but I found the Emperor Georgiou to be such a dreadful character (not the fault of Michelle Yeih who is fab) and can’t root for her at all. When they had the sending off for her in Discovery and everyone was sad when she was horrible to them all it felt so contrived and forced. To see her lead a movie is an odd choice.
- Comment on Lets make a Star Trek Future 5 weeks ago:
This reminds me of a moment of rebellion in my previous office. We had a photo printing machine in the atrium of the building so I printed multiple copies of Picard, Riker and Wesley, using this exact pic of the Capt.
Under the keyboards I left the good guys either Picard or Riker if they were shaggers and the knobheads/annoying folk got a Wesley. I also left one Q in the office and moved it to different locations.
It was a grim time with redundancies so anything to lighten the mood was welcome. Silly, I know.

- Comment on YouTube ads have ruined the good, old-fashioned Rick Roll. 2 months ago:
Same in UK for Sky. You have to be a Sky TV customer (paying) to use the Android or iOS Sky Go app and it still makes you watch adverts without skipping.
- Comment on YouTube ads have ruined the good, old-fashioned Rick Roll. 2 months ago:
I don’t mind adverts for free services but YouTube take the piss now.
And Amazon. Paying Prime members still have to watch ads.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 2 months ago:
Seen very little of it on either Bluesky or Mastodon to be honest. Maybe it’s the type of searches or activities followed.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
Good news perhaps but I’m sure I won’t see any benefit in Scotland, still thousands to add solar panels.

Fuck Nintendo. They get a pass so often from people when they really shouldn’t.

I feel personally attacked by the Boimsters beard this season.

Fuck the lot of them. Shop around for the best deal that doesn’t try to screw you over.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 3 months ago:
It’s creeping back in the UK here too. I think hybrid works best for me, can collaborate 2 or 3 times a week and stay at home and be more productive to actually DO the work.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | First Look Gameplay 5 months ago:
Original idea, lush visuals, decent looking animations/acting. This is on my watch list for sure.
- Comment on Someone finally figured out a good use for NFTs: Peter Molyneux is using 'land' sales from his failed blockchain game to fund the development of his new project 5 months ago:
I had thought there was a Fable coming out soon, there was an ad at the last Gamescom before this one. Unless Molyneux isn’t involved in it?

It’s basically the gigachad if the factory world.
- Comment on Norway inaugurates Europe’s first LFP gigafactory 5 months ago:
Yup they reinvested a lot of the oil money back into their country and population whereas we in the UK (Scotland) had it squandered.

- Comment on Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton 5 months ago:
Switched from gmail to Protonmail and Outlook to Tuta.io and love it! Companies that put privacy and the individual first.
- Comment on Must be nice for real artists 5 months ago:
AI is fun to play around with if you are like me with zero artistic talent but currently is no comparison with a real talented artist.
I can’t even draw a bit of spaghetti never mind a hand!
- Comment on Labour MPs begin quitting X over ‘hate and disinformation’ 5 months ago:
Have barely touched Twitter since Muskification ruined it.
Threads is _okay_but Mastodon would be brill with more interaction.
