"[A]nything better"? Insightful me thinks. What could be better than that?

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

/etc/ stands for “et cetera” because the original Unix devs genuinely couldn’t be bothered to name it anything better

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

There's a special place in hell for people that do that.

A feline friend is safe after someone apparently tried to throw it from a moving vehicle while crossing the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, authorities said.

I'm kinda sad this Independence Day.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

I am so so tired of thunder storms. #nova

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

And an occasional dirge or sea shanty would be welcomed as well ;-)

[Molly Wood @mollywood]

You know what we need more of in the US? Chanting. I want to go to some bars where there's chanting. And also singing. This is a miss on our part. #WorldCup2026 #TartanArmy

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

And so comfy!!

Wearable TV: artist Walter Pichler's 1967 'TV Helmet' (aka the Portable Living Room), immersing and isolating the user in a world of information.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Among the many streaming apps out there, the #PBS app is without question the worst. Unable to pause and pick up where you left off is just one of many basic UX this company cannot get right.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Priceless.

When you walk in the living room and your son is watching your bud, @JayShockblast , play @TTGames #LegoBatmanLegacyCollection, and hold his very own thor doll 🥰🥲

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

It's not just games, y'all.

[PC Gamer @pcgamer]

Fallout designer Tim Cain thinks influencers have changed how people make and play games: 'more people seem to be abdicating their own judgement to that of people they see online' https://t.co/wrVvOiwHbr

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

So, yeah. #nasa and #Artemis2. More of that please.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Keep a close eye on your HP and get well soon!

[Scott Johnson @scottjohnson]

It’s not Covid or flu, but whatever I came down with is casting a big debuff to strength and haste.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

When in actuality they're sloths dressed as DMV employees.

[Colin Percival @cperciva]

4yo watched the trailer for Zootopia and now thinks that DMV branches all across the USA have staff dressed up in sloth costumes.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Every morning now I wake up in a country I understand less than the morning before.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Just its name scares the shit out of me :-)

[Lance Ulanoff @LanceUlanoff]

OpenClaw should terrify anyone who thinks AI agents are ready for real responsibility https://t.co/hHDhozZZeR

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

No. You don't.

[Colin Percival @cperciva]

It's 6°C and the daffodils are sprouting. I wish #Snowstorm2026 came to Vancouver.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Kudos to #cox @CoxHelp for keeping the network running and performing well during the challenging weather. Great company.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

That telescope was worth every penny.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

Webb, holy shit, this is an incredible look at the Helix Nebula.

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Seriously? Unbelievable.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A viral online theory that purports electromagnetic fields from a nearby substation are causing injuries to the San Francisco 49ers is disputed by scientists but has some players’ attention, raising concerns about the team's ability to attract free agents. https://t.co/LUBEYr4iu8

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

~50% of the games I own were purchased from GOG. I appreciate the prices, the selection, and most especially the efforts GOG goes through to ensure it runs on current versions of Windows. Long may GOG live.

[GOG.COM @GOGcom]

Worth a read 🫴

[Andy Scott @iceflatline]

Couldn't agree more. And its great DLC missions add even more insanity.

[Tycho Brahe @TychoBrahe]

Sniper Elite 5 for five dollars is completely insane - this is one of the best co-op experiences I've ever had. It scratches the Splinter Cell itch with aplomb.
