Wallpaper stripping is both satisfying and intensely boring all at the same time!

It’s kind of comforting to know that even after all these years Tick Tock Clock in #Mario64 still makes me swear continuously due to Mario being allergic to staying on the platforms (not because I’m bad at keeping him on said platforms 😅) #N64

Of all the places you can take a photo scene in #GranTurismo7 I would not expect the front entrance of Stratford upon Avon Train Station!

Just some #YAMLProblems... 😅

Happy Programmer's Day, y'all! 🩵

#HomeAutomation #SmartHome #YAML

A 6-panel comic of Casita, the Home Assistant mascot, sitting at her HA-branded laptop complaining about an issue in her YAML code. Comic was drawn by our graphic artist, Clelia Rella, and based off another meme.
Panel 1 - Black text on a Home Assistant blue background reads, "A typical day in a programmer's {life();}"
The misplacement of the semi-colon is intentional.
Panel 2 - Casita is frustrated, arms crossed. "I hate this hobby", she says.
Panel 3 - Casita is sobbing, her arms in a "why" pose. "and i hate my life"
Panel 4 - Casita is now fuming, looking as if she's going to pull her non-existent hair. Thought bubble looks like it's on fire. "why is this happening to meeeeee", she whines.
Panel 5 - Casita looks embarrassed face and her pointer fingers touching. "never mind. missed a space"
Panel 6 - Black text on a Home Assistant blue background reads, "The end". On the bottom right of the panel is the Home Assistant name and logo.

So I ordered #Tunic on the #NintendoSwitch and thought I was just getting a standard copy of the game. Turns out it’s a “Special Edition” with a few extra goodies. A nice surprise!

Box contents of the Tunic game, shows a standard Nintendo Switch game case, an instruction manual, a fold out map of the overworld and a sheet of stickers.Box Shot of Tunic on the Nintendo Switch. Box shows a cartoon fox character holing a sword in his right hand a shield in his left. The word Tunic is raised print in silver that reflects the light

@dimillian looks like I can’t post a video of the strange top bar animation so I’ll post it here

@dimillian @dimillian I’m liking the new Liquid Glass but I am seeing some little flaws (that I’ll submit feedback via test flight) stuff like dark mode some things are unreadable on a dark background and weird animation of the top bar on iPad.

In all my years of playing #MarioKart I’ve never had a chain of bad luck like this

The UK is getting hotter and hotter and what am I doing? Messing around with @homeassistant to see what It can do. Its got massive potential but boy is it a rabbit hole of settings and configurations!

So some observations:

- It shows nothing about time zones
- Canada is not Texas
- Texas is not Montana
- The Gulf of Mexico is now CENTRAIN TIME
- All the Dakotas including the new MOUNTAIN DAKOTO have moved to the Atlantic
- North Dakota has gone quantum and can now exist in both the Atlantic and the Pacific

So yeah fact check your AI responses!

Now I am a happy user of AI Chatbots like ChatGPT. They are wonderful tools to use to help talk though a problem.

But that does not mean you should not fact check them. I asked ChatGPT for a map of where the central time zone is used…

#chatgpt #generativeAI #ai

A very very wrong map of North America that does not show anything about time zones at all

I have found the ultimate use for ChatGPT.

Helping me figure out what I have to to do next in a Final Fantasy II play though I started ages ago and can’t remember what I have to do next!

In other unrelated news I now have a policy of taking notes when playing retro RPG’s

Many of our users have asked for a simple API to fetch their deliveries to display them somewhere else (e.g. on a dashboard).

I am pleased to release a very simple API to get active/recent deliveries from your Parcel account.

Hope you will build something cool with it! 😎

Sometimes this is my mood, usually if you stop me from playing games! #3DS #marioandluigi
