Month: February 2025

It’s nice to know that, even though I’m not based in an office anymore, I can still “fix people’s computers” by (metaphorically) standing behind them and watching them.

Watched Ring (1998) by an author from letterboxd.com
A mysterious video has been linked to a number of deaths, and when an inquisitive journalist finds the tape and views it herself, she sets in motion a chain of events that puts her own life in danger.

Wanted to watch this since I was, frankly, terrified by the remake in the early 00s (I was young).

However, turns out that most of the scares only really work the first time round and the psychic flashbacks feel painfully contrived.

Oh, and it’s a very short “guh”, not a “goo”. If you’re calling it “Ringoo”, you’re a tit.

My review

I made myself a “Mastodon” account a while back (@dtw). Since then I’ve ActivityPub enabled my website (@rubyquartglassess@rubyquartzglasses.me.uk) (yeah, I need to shorten that).

Now, I want to start using . I can create “Pixelfed” account from scratch, or by “authenticating” with one of my existing accounts, right? However, I think, anyone can follow my @dtw or @rubyquartglassess@rubyquartzglasses.me.uk feed from pixelfed anyway… so, I don’t need an account on a pixelfed server?

And then I wonder, if any fedi app can read any ActivityPub feed, why are there different apps?

Pretty much speechless at the damage caused by to the countryside in Buckinghamshire. I don’t even live there and it’s heart breaking.

Still, we had to find some way of getting the money out of the public coffers and into someone’s pockets. God knows we couldn’t just spend it on people that need it.
