Oh yeah, definitely! But that's very different from angrily mashing your phone on the bus home to say ‘@ target your staff in Walla Walla were rude and showed me the wrong sized shirt, never shopping there again!’ and then going in again two days later because there never was a real problem.

I forgot that when I first got rid of tw*tter it was annoying not being able to complain directly at $brands. But turns out that was probably a bit toxic. :verified:

I was just having a conversation with somebody and she said that she's started watching a bit of regular TV, because she's missed having regular ads. Everything online is hyper-targeted and that's fine to a point. But it turns out that ads aren't just about selling a specific product or service to a specific person. They're a cultural phenomenon too. Or were? Something in common to have smalltalk about. She barely even remembered Easter is coming without the ad reminders. 🤷

Any UK folk have any recommendations for places to order pet supplies from that you have had a positive personal experience with? I have had way too many problems with Pets at Home that it's time to try somewhere new. The local shops can't get in the food or litter that my old-man cat wants. Would rather avoid Amazon. Suggestions?

Can you put a price on peace of mind? ;)

Remember the thermal cat printers that were all the #MARCHintosh rage last year or the year before?

Well here's one that's not printing. Instead it's staggering about. In a high-quality stop-motion fillum created on the worst Mac of all time, the Performa 6200!

📽️

(there's even a brief cameo by the real actual cat getting into the stage box)

So on my recent trip to the other side of the world, I snagged a few #RetroComputing bits. Nothing big and not a lot because I just had a carry-on sized bag, but here’s a peek.

🧵

Starting with the least computing thing, but still fun: a Brownie box camera! 📸

Really should have had this 11” Air taken care of before Apple made it obsolete. But here we are. A little over a decade old: does it count as #RetroComputing already?🪫

It crashed with a disc in and now it chimes and everything spins up, but doesn't get past the black screen, so won't eject the cd with the button held down, no open firmware, no chance for target disk mode... Maybe it just needs another rest again ;)
