@lardmotel Saw someone link an NPR report about "shipments suspended ... including Royal Mail".Checked the Royal Mail website. Nothing's suspended by the Royal Mail.Even supposedly reputable news sites are pushing out junk info

@lardmotel Someone's been trying to sell a Synthi AKS on eBay UK for months, it wobbles up and down in price, currently at £18K BIN or £15K auction start.

I haven't watched a film on tv with ads for ages, and I'm trying to watch Dune just now on ITV ... 5 mins of ads every 15 mins of action? Really? I'm going to watch Match of the Day & get Dune off a torrent thanks

Why are video editors so fucking opaque to use? A project? Wtf is a project? Why do i need one? I just want to open file, cut a lump out and save the lump. What the fuck are all these windows? Was the ux person having a fucking stroke? (I don't want advice about how i should use your personal fav video editor thx. I'm just venting. I always end up using ffmpeg. Or sometimes avidemux)

@tomjennings VLC *can* do it, but it it's a lottery. Will I be lucky this time? Or will the video be too fast? Or will it be too slow? Or will it be rotated 90 degrees? Or will I get video at all? maybe I'll get just audio?Every time I try to use VLC for something, I end up on the same Reddit thread where everyone's going "hahahah no"

@lardmotel They've jammed so much LLM shit into their systems that the site is rapidly becoming unusable.A couple of months ago I searched my *own* purchases for something & the search returned things I'd never bought (complete with date & order number).

@MLE_online @Lazarou @ai6yr When I was doing a lot of interesting things in the darkroom, I always fancied trying Uranium toning. A Uranium toned silver print is beautiful.Until relatively recently (maybe 12 years ago?) you could just go on ebay and buy the principal ingredient, Uranyl nitrate.Wildly toxic, so needs careful handling, but not actually a nuclear hazard.

@art Too many people seem to see trump as heading a political project. Whereas i think his is a criminal project within which he permits others to expedite their political projects .

@lardmotel I kind of know what you mean, but what keeps me here is that the engagement at the only other place not entirely nazified (Bluesky) is too often just wildly deranged in different ways.
