DDR5 RAM prices are steadying out and some distributors emailing me on some price cuts right now too so if you were planning on buying some RAM hold out for a bit you can, some should be filtering through to retail soon if you keep your peepers out, I expect they'll be flogged in bundles or as "sales" at this early stage though.
Shit prices compared to mid 2025 still ofc, but here's an early PSA if you were needing some soonish

I love these types of artist, such a fleeting bit of history of an other person's soul you crossed paths with at some time in the past. It's a real treat to have experienced it and to remember back to it.
I've got CDs and mp3s of long-gone local artists who's lives moved on away from their music too, it's good to keep their artistic spirit alive from time to time. Even some songs stuck in my head I'd loved live that never got recorded. It's profoundly beautiful stuff

Even as a dyslexic I can assure you I still manage to communicate just fine without using LLMs. It's literally ok. Nobody in good faith gives a fuck if something is spelled a bit wrong or with shit grammar, the message is still out there in it and if anything that makes it more human and personal anyway right?
If anything encouraging people to use LLMs to "speak correctly" opens up a whole fucking ton of worms around structural racism, classism, ableism and "learnedness"

If you run a business, make sure that you're publicly, vocally, and consistently anti-racist. It's good for business, take it from me!
People that are racist will remove themselves, and racists are typically awful to deal with in other ways because they are nasty, selfish, and cruel people in general.
People worth dealing with will feel more taken care of and you'll probably find yourself getting new customers if you're known for being decent like that anyway. It's a win-win, honestly.

For anyone that didn't know Bob Vylan: Their music is about the racism that's alive and well in England and how the ruling class keep it that way, working class struggle, fighting to be who you are, against toxic masculinity, (and eating your veggies!)

On Saturday they wished for an end to a military that's engaging in ethnic cleansing. The government and press always itch to find the "crossed line" to silence all of the above.

Silence is violence.

I'm working with a local charity to refurb donated laptops for them to release back into the community and they get a lot of ex-business laptops with BIOS passwords set. It's really annoying!
If you're a business IT person donating old hardware, pretty please with a cherry on top remove the BIOS passwords first xxx

The "Follow" button in those new contact cards doesn't indicate if someone's account is locked so you don't know if you should check their profile for if they accept followers or what conditions they have. I'll ask again: Does anybody designing #Mastodon actually use Mastodon??? That's such a rude design :angry_laugh:

I built this budget RTX 4060Ti PC recently with the mission to juice as much out of the budget as possible but also crucially for it to look nice too.
It cuts through Runescape like butter

my city has an excellent history of pulling together at times like this before the fash even get their foot in the door. They find it intimidating here because it's one of the most culturally diverse cities and we all crack on with it getting along just fine. The only reason the EDL, PA, etc ever show up here is because they've got a ridicule kink.
Places like this are important to show that it can be done, it's been awful here before and we've turned it around to say "never again"

one of the police in the lines where I was yesterday exchanged friendly smiles and waves with a fascist he recognised in the crowd. They allowed someone to stand doing a Nazi salute for as long as they could get away with to cause maximum distress before stepping in. They're not subtle
