Album of the year

89 minutes!

Theia / The Silver Cord / Set Goes live in about 9 hours and 20 minutes! 10pm Melbourne time (UTC+11)

Edit: Oh, there are lyrics on the YouTube page already!

Edit again: So many timezone problems (we went daylight savings in Melb over the weekend). 11pm Melbourne time. 90 mins away!

(I’m not linking to Twitter, and it’s a shame they only dropped the news there.)

I sure hope they’re videos for The Silver Cord tracks, but they might still have some PDA in the tank…

It’s not a feature, but it’s by design.

Ah, sexism is alive and well in tech.

Oh, and the magazine is Musikexpress. Apparently it was listed on Musikexpress’ website briefly too. It would make sense they had embargoed info so it could make it to print.

We’ll soon find out! I don’t want to turn this place into a rumour mill, but this all feels true!

I’m confident it’s real, which is why I posted it. If I’m wrong then I’m a fool. It feels legit though!

That magazine page seems real, the rest of the info on the page is real, other info (like the track list) has leaked too, so the album seems to be close. Oh, and the name just feels right.

The band just got on board the hype train, so I reckon we’ll know for sure soon!

Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.

Brave is awful.

No crying required, you can use something like NextDNS for DNS level ad blocking on iOS, and there are plenty of Safari extensions to help with this stuff.

I use 1Blocker for ads, Hush to block cookie notices, and Unobstruct to remove persistent overlays as needed. While we’re at it, Noir adds dark mode support to every webpage, StopTheMadness prevents websites doing hostile things (such as preventing copy and paste), and PiPifier makes every web video support picture in picture mode.

I mean… it could be fake, but at least it’s not a Mind Goblin joke.

15 years ago was Micro-USB, which was awful.

Here’s the Instagram post

The replies throughout this entire post are incredible. You are exactly right, yet downvoted for it.

iPhone was announced January 2007 and released in June. The phone you’re linking to was released September 2008.

What was your point again?

This is the episode page on their website; it’s not only on YouTube.

Universe definitely came along first
