All these years, I didn't know JR was John Reid. I always though it was Just Rad.

I love that the #snac2 server surfaces if someone has blocked me. I get a nice notification that I was blocked every so often -- but there is one person that I am well aware of whenever they change instances (and they do it often enough that I notice) who blocks me each time.

I might not be famous, but I guess I'm infamous! Whee!

Tarp Guy is always at presentations! :) One day though, maybe it'll be Tarp Robot?

steve mookie kong@mookie@weredreaming.com (2026-07-23 09:41:59) Tried out a new game named Reality Break, it's an ARPG with some roguelite elements. The graphics were good, I need more time to understand the gameplay and mechanics.

So has Polar and Amazfit. The form factor (screen less) is what Whoop got right.

What's more important though is that all of the non-Whoop devices are subscription free (all have optional subscriptions, but the basic functionality is all free).

It'll be interesting to see how Whoop adjusts (or doesn't adjust) their business model. Because while they got the form factor right, it seems that subscription free is what people actually want.

Probably don't love the $1,900 price tag though :)

steve mookie kong@mookie@weredreaming.com (2026-07-23 02:07:25) Humanoid robot and coffee table! Ingenious!

Buenas dias :)

steve mookie kong@mookie@weredreaming.com (2026-07-22 15:00:55) Tonight's movie was a classic: Goldfinger (1964).

The staples of a James Bond movie were all in here. I quite enjoyed the movie and seeing what early Bond was like.

Sean Connery is awesome as James Bond. Actually, I will put it this way: Sean Connery is James Bond.

Goldfinger and his plan are great and memorable. Oddjob is a super memorable henchman. The opening song, titled after the movie, and sung by Shirley Bassey is fantastic and has stood the test of time.

Amazing how things were in the 60s cinema. Pussy Galore. Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus. And lines like: “Please entertain Mr. Bond for me Pussy.”

I watched this movie on Blu-ray, it is part of The James Bond Collection that I bought a couple of years ago that has all 24 Bond movies.

Rated 8 out of 10.

I’m hoping the high prices of RAM and storage will drive a permanent shift in consumer spending where consumers are not buying tech on a regular/annual basis. I’m hoping it drives people to use their tech longer and to fix and replace rather than replace. .
