Did you see the Aftermath article on Click out Media? Buying a site for SEO and brand authority and kicking out staff in favour of LLM slop is basically their business model. Allegedly.

So many of my very talented colleagues in writing and journalism have been forced to either play babysitter to AI slop machines, sell their soul writing about gambling and crypto or take jobs in PR and marketing to make a living. It's grotesque.

If you haven't switched to Linux, the best time was few months ago and the second best time is now.

Spoilter alert: we're not abandoning Windows. Windows in a VM under Linux will work faster than on bare metal. Check out my video to learn more!

Ah yes, the reason Bit Shifter became one of my top three favourite chiptune artists.

Sad times. After several years, lots of conventions and DJ sets and two different laptops, my faithful @corsair.com M75 wireless mouse has developed a fault in the scroll wheel. Compressed air didn't help, so it is being retired. Shame, I gave it a very good review for work.

Contemplating trying some PokΓ©mon ROM hacks, but a disproportionate number of them are "Gen 1 but make it unfairly difficult"
I have zero nostalgia for Gen 1 and don't enjoy difficulty curves that are like a cliff face.
Any suggestions for a good place to start?

I am from Yorkshire and I encourage all my fellows from God's Own County to embrace the grumpy Yorkshire grass bird

The name of the grumpy grass bird makes me feel it should be from Yorkshire.

Next PokΓ©mon game revealed along with new starters. I absolutely adore the Fire puppy, but the grumpy grass bird is called "Browt" which is the most broad Yorkshire thing I have ever seen. I want to give it a flat cap and stick of black pudding.

It's an Arabian sand boa with wings.
The sand boa is that snake made last thing on a Friday with rejected parts.

Some of them - like Sam Altman - appear to have managed the difficult task of being both grifter and grifted. It's almost impressive

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him β€˜any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he β€˜can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.
