Last Notes npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing @nprofile…2ch3 LOLZ. Seems like it already did. Saw some video on CNN last night where he kept mocking that he was no longer allowed to include his illegally added name when referring to the structure. Monument? Venue? Probably all of the above... minus his selfish ass, of course 🤣 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing The Fossil Fuel System Is Collapsing – and Taking Civilisation’s Safety Net With It: It’s not like we haven’t been shooting this from rooftops for decades now. They just choose not to listen and pursue short term profits instead. #crapitalism #climatechange https://bylinetimes.com/2026/04/16/the-fossil-fuel-system-is-collapsing-and-taking-civilisations-safety-net-with-it/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing @nprofile…3q9y @nprofile…kfnt I looked at that and figured I'd finally won the internet by sharing my own "mod" to our fan! I still win because this is a fantastic gag :) Of course, I couldn't be the only one to see this.

Loosen that belt, slap on a plastic bib, and dive in for Geoff’s picks for the hottest trash of the Spring 2025 anime season. #animation #anime #TV npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Checking out the closed #Surf app beta from #Flipboard, a new “social browser” that supports #ActivityPub, #ATProto, and #RSS. It needs more work, like dark mode and desktop font sizing, but I like what I see so far. Sign up, but I don’t know how long it’ll take. #socialmedia https://surf.social/ https://files.hear-me.social/media_attachments/files/114/629/039/876/633/780/original/325ea3e5702d200f.png npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing It seems #Apple is going to be switching software version numbering to an auto industry-style “model” year scheme. This seems smart. Their computers are often referenced by their year. But, peeps will complain, so they do. #WWDC #macOS #tech #news https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/05/29/apple-operating-system-version-years/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing A friend of mine just sent me a link to Brent Spiner’s comedy series on YouTube called Fresh Hell, and I NEED to share it!

Nothing LOLZ. Yes. Very much. #ElonMusk is not a genius. And “fake it ’til you make it” isn’t magic. He had money, made more money, and hired the right people. Big whoop. Or, as this article puts it, he’s not Tony Stark but Michael Scott #capitalism #tesla #tech https://www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-musk-self-driving-fsd-tesla-tony-stark-michael-scott npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing It is really, really hard to start a YouTube channel these days. There are so many creators who’ve been around for years and have established viewerships. @nprofile…pecq is a new creator and he makes great retro #Apple videos. Give him some love! #retrocomputing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzUDOkmi-1Y npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I don’t think I can say it better or more succinctly than Mr. Lawrence Ware. I’ll add that the carefully coded hate speech from #TFG and his #KKK sycophants on TV every day from the Whitest House has been adding nuclear fuel to the fire. Criminals. #FuckRacism #uspol https://www.theroot.com/why-things-have-only-gotten-worse-for-black-folks-in-th-1851782348 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing The WORST Anime of ALL TIME - 10th Anniversary: The Complete List: https://tylerknowsnothing.com/2025/05/24/the-worst-anime-of-all.html In the latest from the studios of Mother’s Basement, Geoff breaks down the top ten worst anime of all time.

Nothing I believe Spice Frontier is one of the more unique spins on #SciFi that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen most of it! Combine the idea of food as a tool for diplomacy with exciting space exploration and you get this! Impressive work from all departments! #animation #pilot #TV https://youtu.be/SeAqnHywrx8 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing So… are those really going to be the doors on a taxi? A two-seat taxi? This is as much a taxi as #ElonMusk’s #Tesla sewers is mass transit. Does it really take so little for the “masses” to think you’re a genius? #idiocracy #SIASD #tech https://www.jalopnik.com/1865786/elon-musk-tesla-robotaxi-starts-next-month/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the loss of #TV icon George Wendt, known worldwide as Norm Peterson from #Cheers. Kottke posted this supercut of every time Norm walked into the bar. Pure gold way to celebrate pure gold. #obits #GeorgeWendt #TooSoon https://kottke.org/25/05/supercut-of-every-time-norm-enters-the-bar-on-cheers npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing For oldsters: Watch this video to confirm your admiration for these shows. For youths: Watch this video to find new shows that’ll blow your mind. Conclusion: Any list that includes Cowboy Bebop must be accurate. That is all. #scifi #tv #90s https://youtu.be/uT42ldiYM4c npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing The Canadian #ProgRock band #Rush has been one of my favorite bands period. I also adore the art of #animation. In 1985 the two came together in an animated short broadcast on Canadian TV that year. Now you can watch it. It’s not great, but the music is. #music #scifi #TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8I_VgWI_xs npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Are Apple Silicon Macs too good?: https://tylerknowsnothing.com/2025/05/08/are-apple-silicon-macs-too.html In Luke Miani’s latest YouTube video he asks if Apple has made their Macs too good. I don’t think he covers the concept anywhere near in-depth enough and misses numerous points. I aim to clarify things as best I can. #Apple #tech #opinion npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I’m honestly confused by some of the takes from this reviewer of Macs of “15 years” on what a move from #Windows to #macOS would entail, especially the idea that the Dock can’t show all running apps? WTF??!! #Apple #DitchMicrosoft #tech https://www.engadget.com/computing/ask-engadget-is-it-a-good-time-to-move-to-macs-from-windows-145159396.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing I submit the thesis that everything is effectively pirated. Exhibit A is the “You Wouldn’t Steal a Car” anti-piracy campaign from the naughty aughts. #piracy #internet #tech #capitalism #LOLZ https://boingboing.net/2025/04/24/font-used-in-famous-anti-piracy-campaign-was-pirated.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Tired of being lied to? Well, too bad because the lies will keep coming and there will continue to be truthbombs blowing them up. #Germany ran a 3-year study on #UniversalBasicIncome and have once again proven that people keep working.

Nothing Just searching #handsoff and getting an insane amount of reports of enormous, peaceful protests all over the US and beyond. And CNN is finally covering it because it's too big a movement to ignore. https://hear-me.social/search npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Um… yeah. Realign your perspective on #AI. #Capitalism doesn’t intend to leverage AI for the betterment of humanity. Instead, they plan on using it in conjunction with a range of other technologies to eliminate humans from the money-making process. #tech https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/survey-americans-fear-ai-will-hurt-them-experts-expect-the-opposite/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I’m definitely a fan of #RetroComputing, but my allegiance clearly lies with #Apple rather than #Microsoft. My old PCs run #Linux or #Haiku, but I get what retro #Windows peeps want. So, if you want to install #Windows98 quickly, here you go. #tech #howto #utilities https://boingboing.net/2025/03/31/how-to-install-windows-98-asap.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing After some rather significant technical gymnastics some very smart people (myself not included) seem to have employed a fix to get #Microblog to #Mastodon crossposting working again with my setup! Here now is a test post to see how it works :) Documentation sometime next week for the benefit of other admins, as long as everything remains stable 😁🤞 #socialmedia #serveradmin #tech npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Well, I’m an #Apple user and I can easily say that I will never consider a #GM product of any kind if I am disallowed from using my preferred platform. Last I checked, 35% of mobile devices users in the US are using #iOS devices. Solid marketing, dorks. #tech #cars #stupid https://www.theverge.com/news/633791/gm-apple-carplay-retrofit-shut-down npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Wow. The new merlin video is truly frightening. In this episode he summarizes Ray Bradbury’s short story, The Veldt. He then proceeds to speculate on the generation of children born in the era of #ChatGPT and other #AI models. In short, it’s not good. #tech #dystopia #scifi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkDmoi7A6ns https://www.youtube.com/@merlinmeek npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Good news, everyone! #VideoGames workers now have a #union covering the #US and #Canada called United Videogame Workers, an off-shoot of the Communications Workers of America union. And it’s a Direct-Join union. Support it. #tech #FightCapitalism https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/video-game-workers-in-north-america-now-have-an-industry-wide-union-130024730.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Not one of #Microsoft’s best choices… out of a long history of making bad decisions. Disenfranchising millions of machines that will no longer be able to run a valid and/supported copy of #Windows is just dumb. Very dumb and great for Linux. #tech #Apple #linux https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/19/us-mac-growth-suggests-microsoft-may-have-done-apple-a-huge-favor/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Good lord, this is so very #Microsoft now. How the once innovative, at least for a brief time through the #Windows 7 to Windows 10 era (ignoring Windows 8), have fallen. Stupid #capitalism. Stupid #AI. Stupid #advertising. #tech #Switch2Linux #UninstallWindows https://www.theverge.com/news/632327/microsoft-windows-11-system-device-specs-recommendations npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing LA is my hometown. The #Capitalism segment of #Hollywood is dwarfed by the creatives who make the media we love. They should be paid and not replaced by #AI. Now watch Mikey’s video about the sign. #film #TV #animation #music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U_3vq9g6VI npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I think John Gruber is going too far. I’ve read his screed and coverage of said screed. He essentially claims that if #Apple doesn’t get #AI working, then it will fall apart at the seams. Bunk. We’ve been doing just fine without AI. So has Apple. Am I wrong? #tech https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/03/13/1815207/something-is-rotten-in-the-state-of-cupertino npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing The only, and I MEAN only, reason #capitalism is having conniptions over jamming #AI into everything is to spur development, but not to make life easier. No. Their only goal is to eliminate the one thing they cannot control: humans. #tech #dystopia https://www.wired.com/story/deepseek-china-nationalism/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Back in September of 2024 I speculated that #TSMC’s #Apple A16 chip production in the US would end up in the next #iPad. Nice to see I was on the right track. Of course, we weren’t taking the tariff threats seriously at the time. #tech https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/09/apple-a16-ipad-11-special-trick-tariffs/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Interesting. #AYANEO has apparently cancelled the Flip KB and Flip DS. Announced Jan. 2024, AYANEO has shipped some units, but has stopped production. If you ordered one, you can get a refund or select another product and pay or get the difference. #videogames #tech https://liliputing.com/ayaneo-flip-clamshell-handheld-gaming-pc-discontinued-before-all-orders-had-shipped/ https://files.hear-me.social/media_attachments/files/114/080/149/052/550/766/original/8e2dc31aa20ce75f.jpg npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Looks like #AYANEO is teasing a new #RetroGaming handheld they are dubbing the Classic, which appears to be a simplified version of their Pocket Micro, a pricey modern take on the Nintendo Game Boy Micro. No specs, pics, pricing or release date yet, though. #videogames #tech https://liliputing.com/ayaneo-classic-will-probably-be-a-tiny-gaming-handheld-with-simplified-controllers/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing I have precisely one #MechanicalKeyboard, a Keychron K5 SE low profile and its likely to stay that way. I recognize a lot of people really like them, though, and these custom keycaps reviewed by #TheGadgeteer look amazing, especially the Mixed set. #tech #mods https://the-gadgeteer.com/2025/02/23/holy-keycaps-batman-turn-your-keyboard-into-a-comic-book/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing One of the more reliable indicators of #Apple preparing to launch a new version of a system is when stocks on older machines start to drop. This appears to be happening now with the M3 #MacBookAir.

Nothing The #Framework (2nd Gen) Event kicks off in exactly 24 hours from now Pacific time.

Also mention of more. #tech #news #videogames https://www.youtube.com/live/-8k7jTF_JCg https://files.hear-me.social/media_attachments/files/114/060/287/889/037/428/original/77b8f6daaeae5717.png npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing One Mic History is a fantastic #YouTube channel that covers #Black #history in rich detail. I found the latest episode about the legacy of #SoulFood to be enlightening.

Nothing This took a while. #Amazon has announced that they will be shuttering their #Android #AppStore on August 20th of this year. They clearly thought they’d eat #Google’s lunch with their Kindle Fire tablets, but that never happened. #Apple ate that market. #capitalism #tech https://slashdot.org/story/25/02/20/1245240/amazon-to-shut-down-android-appstore npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing And another thing about this Gulf of Mexico thing… I was under the impression that #TFG’s America was about the Freedom™ of #Capitalism? But #Google just caves to Dear Leader’s petulant colonialist demand like it was State Run?

Very slick little devices! #tech https://youtu.be/FWo4xElfKgE npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

They’ve paused 24H2 because some of Ubisoft’s #VideoGames crash after the update is applied. Wow. Just run Windows 10, peeps. #tech https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/23/24304313/microsoft-delays-windows-11-24h2-update-ubisoft-star-wars-outlaws-assassins-creed-valhalla-crashes npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I have a complex relationship with home #arcade cabinets. I want one, but I want specific ones like Arctic Thunder or San Francisco Rush 2049, which aren’t stick cabs. If, however, you’re into classic stick and button cabs, then #Evercade’s new Alpha mini cabinets might tickle that spot for you. At $230 for the Mega Man or Street Fighter version, you get what looks like a nice unit, but with a few caveats. #videogames #retrogaming #tech https://www.wired.com/review/evercade-alpha/
