A couple of months ago Spotify released Soloist, an official way of running it headless on a Pi. I found it was a bit of nightmare to set up Pipewire, etc. and wanted to add a few features on top. So here's my new project: Encore. It takes Soloist and wraps it in a docker container. pimusic.stream

So @uksgmarathon.co.uk Blue 2026 is this weekend. Orgs should be doing last minute checks & making sure everything is good to go right? Naa. We are all at the Sonic Concert in London instead. 😂 Turns out it isn't just Glasgow that we all appear in. Soooon. <3 @huds601.co.uk @pazy160.bsky.social

This is incredible news. I remember being really jealous that Japan had mobile FFVII games when I was a kid. Can't wait to play this once translators do their thing. Thank you so much for your hard work @yuvi.app <3

Today is another special day. I am so proud to say I have finally recovered the FULL copy of Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode for Japanese cell phones. After many years of this avoiding us, it's been done. youtu.be/UfpwhMTwMgM

London Trans Pride 2026. I hate that every year it's more important than ever for this march to happen but here we are again. Trans rights are human rights. We will live our lives. We will not go away quietly. We will resist. We will survive. We will not be erased. #transrights #transpride

Ok that was not on my bingo card for todays F1 GP. What a race. What a podium. Never thought I would actually feel emotional listening to the Italian national anthem but here I am happy to be proven wrong. Well done Lewis. Forza Ferrari. Now can McLaren speed up their development please. 😂

A small break from our world cup TV marathon for the Barcelona F1 GP. Not a fun year to be a McLaren fan but hopefully Ferrari can give Mercedes a battle today and give us some excitement.

Scotland you magnificent bastards!!!!! Haiti 0 v 1 Scotland 28 years since we were here. 36 years since we won here. WE ARE BACK. <3 NO SCOTLAND NO PARTY YES SIR I CAN BOOGIE #scotland #haisco #worldcup

It’s a good thing the World Cup planners put the Scotland game at night, otherwise the fan sunburn situation would be a mass casualty event.

It appears my countrymen have arrived in the Americas and culturally appropriated a statue of George Washington.

YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS CMON SCOTLAND!!!!

Scotlands 1st world cup since 98 & I'm struggling to be excited for it. Ticket & travel $$$ Visa chaos Bans on some teams fans Team staff being denied entry ICE at games Host at war with another team! And now the top African ref is denied entry for being Somalian... 🤬 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCupChaos

FFVII REVELATION!!!!! OMG OMG OMG I NEEEEEEEEED IT My brain is so fried right now... 15 years of dev work on the remake comes to conclusion. 30 years of my life playing VII. I am going to spend months hitting F5 on the @square-enix-games.com store for the collectors editions. I can't wait.
