This explains why I was tackled to the floor by security the last time I took my wife bra shopping.

Getting ID'd by my search engine, living the dream

I don't disagree, but then make that argument, don't try and pretend it's illegal and that's the reason we shouldn't do it.

That's without even addressing the substance of their claim, which would also rule out a bunch of other countries (unclear borders, unstable government, etc).

It *might* break a convention we're not a signatory to needs a real leap to get to "breaking international law"

They're still sticking to that line too. Tech minister basically said this week that if you disagree with the law or use a VPN to bypass the checks you're a child predator

"So, what radicalised you?"
"Having to upload a copy of my driving license to listen to a song on Spotify with swearing in it"

I continue to be disappointed that Bluesky doesn't offer any real MFA options. Running a major platform and not offering *at least* TOTP, but ideally hardware keys and (despite my misgivings) passkeys, is really inexcusable.

Superb work, but your framing makes it look like he's pissing himself

We can't all be free-thinking individualists like Danny Kruger

He needs it to be a religion, so he can paint as dangerous zealotry people just saying "could you stop being racist and transphobic".

The whole shtick is painting "wokeness" as this irrational cult rather than many unrelated people just asking you not to be shitty.

Tactical Breach Wizards is an exceptionally well-written and funny strategy/puzzle game where you play a squad of special forces wizards unraveling a grand conspiracy.

Nessie?

My view, ethical concerns aside, is you should never use an LLM for anything where you don't already know enough about the subject to be able to validate everything it tells you.

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social regarding the OGWN AI discussion, there are lots of nerds who are deeply concerned about the current AI push, because we understand how it works and its limitations, and it's terrifying how *certain* people are about anything ChatGPT tells them.

In the grimdark future of LLMs you will be a god if you are capable of basic independent reasoning.

You will be able to rule over the masses dying of lead poisoning because Grok told them it cured baldness.

Labour deserve to lose to Reform. It's going to be disastrous for the country, but the way they've acted in the last 9 months has veered between pathetic and hateful with very little to be positive about. Whoever is running their policy team needs to be taken out and publicly shot.

I left them in December, they screwed up closing the account and tried to bill me for an extra month. They're still sending me occasional emails as if I were an active customer.

The latest vscode release notes are literally just pages of "we jammed more AI into everything, will you please use some of it, our developers are so miserable."

We got rid of Flash just to reinvent it but somehow worse

@iwriteok.bsky.social I've tracked down a copy of the Factor 8 docu if you're still looking for it?

Horizon: Zero Dawn (and its sequel) are a fun take on this

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

"did you make that logo signifying Europe's grim duty to rearm in the face of a hostile United States and expanding Russia?"

"Sure did boss, made it real goatse just like you asked,"

I think there's stuff you can disagree with people on where there's value in hearing their opinions but most of the time it's "trans people shouldn't exist" or "we should bring back slavery" or "what if we let Elon Musk run a country" and there's just nothing to be gained by engaging with them.

I've just sent my old one back, you might end up with it

Arguably what better casting is there than just getting the people the film is about to play themselves?

An email from HelloFresh with a subject that reads "You're getting up to off!" with the body text of "Get up to off, claim now"
