I have come into possession of revised information and would now like to change my opinion.

"You know, Commander, having seen a little of the 21st century there is one thing I don't understand. How could they have let things get so bad?"

Just in case it keeps anyone else from diving down this particularly inane rabbit hole, as far as I can tell, there is no backstory or deeper lore to be found, no campaigns that I can find, or let's plays.
Up until 4 days ago, Fartbuckle the goblin did not exist. #Fartbuckle

Just discovered the term CHOP, meaning CHat Oriented Programming, as a term for AI-assisted coding. My geek brain immediately inferred that developers who do that must be called ChOPpers.

At the second day of #LeadDevLondon . Had a great first day, particularly glad for the mini workshop on Managing, Mentoring,.and Coaching. Got a lot of clarity out of it.
Also glad that I prioritised making a batch of beef jerky before the conference. :)

I'm back at the London LeadDev conference today, it's been too long since I made it. I'm looking forward to catching up with folks and getting to hear about what my peers have been up to. #LeadDevLondon

Hey folks, I'm hardly active on here anymore for reasons, and there's also good reasons to not be keen on following #Eurovision2024 but if you're looking for me and that particular kind of content, I'm over on the blue and elephant platforms.

If you're on android they just turned on new data-collecting features that you'll have to opt out of. The settings are under "Ads privacy" two new ones which have been added and set to on by default:
App-suggested ads
and
Ad measurement
You should turn all of the options off.
ALT Screenshot of the Ads Privacy setting screen for android showing three settings titled Ad topics, App-suggested ads, and Ad measurement, all of which have been set to off

First it was Christopher Cross in Percy Jackson and now it's freaking Soul Coughing in Reacher, not even just showing up, the episode TITLE is a straight up call out.
The universe conspires to show me my age in a dark mirror of sound.

Percy Jackson episode 3 just used Arthur's Theme by Christopher Cross over the end credits.
I only barely survived the new generation 'discovering' Kate Bush via Stranger Things, I really don't need to deal with the YA Hordes suddenly 'discovering' fucking Yacht Rock.

Because what's more 2023 than trying to emotionally regulate yourself with low-fi music while desperately waiting for someone to burn it all down? youtube.com/watch?v=CC_NDwdz…

That special kind of resentment when a company you've used for years has finally enshitified themselves to the point where have to switch.
btw @Tesco are you *ever* going to sell eggs by the dozen again or have you decided that the 30% markup for 6 packs is too good to let go?
