Just happened to pass an Apple Store so had a look at the new iPhones. Feel nice in the hand. They’re good! But £1k good? I’m not so sure..

So as a follow-up to my last posting, I thought I’d try putting KDE Plasma on Ubuntu, which is my normal go-to. Whereas Fedora ‘just works’, Ubuntu is buggy as hell! (Note this is on ARM64). Have decided to stick with Fedora for now while I fiddle about. #Linux #Ubuntu #Fedora #KDE

Been having a play with Fedora 42/KDE Plasma over the weekend; these days I tend to lean towards Ubuntu (generally console-only) for things but it’s been nice to give Fedora and KDE a whirl after quite a few years!

Really enjoyed watching the highlights last night of #LiveAid from 1985. What an amazing concert. What a feat of technology at the time! It’s the technology that really interests me; I’d love to know more about how it actually all worked.

Ok, my favourites are Luxembourg, Estonia, Malta & Denmark. Which usually means they’ll do really badly (sorry, guys) 🤣 #Eurovision

You know that feeling when you go into a nightclub when you’re older than everybody else and you feel like you don’t belong?
We’ve had local elections in the UK this week, and that’s how I’m left feeling after the rise of the right.

Apple sells a with a price that largely exceeds competing products. But if Apple TV 4K ads start using these new quotes from Roku’s marketing lead, I don’t think Apple will have any trouble making new sales.

So, new #Bergerac. As my friends know, the old one is one of my faves, but I thought I’d try the new one on launch day. It’s OK! But other than the names and location, it doesn’t have much in common with the original. Will I watch more? Yeah, probably, but I’ll still watch the original more..
