How are you finding it a few days later? UI still infuriating… but the usual ‘just one more match/signing’ drive is strong? I’m enjoying the new tactics & actually having to watch more match due to lots of the data being removed (heatmaps etc).

to be fair... I filled out a form at my doc's at 8.00am on the dot this morning and it's been reviewed by a GP already, prescription is waiting for collection and added to repeat list for future. Which is very good service. And I guess they do only have so much capacity to do that each day.

*sets auto-response on work email to send this at all hours outside 8.00-8.05am*

it does reek of "that'll have to do for now" repeated over and over again 😕

Sums up my experiences nicely over the weekend. I want to like it, and the actual games/tactics do seem much improved. But the UI nerd in me cries every time that 20 rows of data could be shown and instead 3 are with a scroll bar etc etc

This will probably get taken down soon... but for now it's just incredible: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GJd... 🎶🎧

Should have guessed that’s why that had gone quiet!

It just hit me how much time has passed, and how much has happened, there may be younger generations that don't know about him.
I don't want him to be forgotten.
Share his story and keep fighting for a fair Internet ❤️

Ahh #Traitors is just a joy isn’t it?!

I was thinking I might have to write about the broad consensus in the finance community that we are in a crazy AI bubble, but mercifully @davekarpf.bsky.social has it covered -- with a nod to my Enron analogy from 25 years ago (thanks Dave).

I'd imagine a few days of asking every MP who is interviewed on air a random A-Level English question should put paid to that pretty quickly

1. Probably Chernobyl too - especially living near Sellafield ☢️
2. Everton winning League / Cup / League 83-85 (also Ian Rush stopping more wins in said period) ⚽️
3. Band/Live Aid 🎸
4. Death of Ayrton Senna 🇧🇷
5. Receiving my Amiga 500 (closely followed by the prior Spectrums) 🤓

Follow policy. I’d guess a pretty hefty warning for misconduct. Knowing schools in this country waste dozens of hours involving a lot of unions and faff and end up nowhere with any of it 🙄

I love me some AI in the right narrow use cases. But this one….. hoooooo no! I would be voting with my feet in that one. Once your video likeness is inside that black box it’s in there for good. I’ll take every year I can get where that isn’t the case thanks very much.

Came here to say exactly this 🤦‍♂️

Heart would say Tea, head would say flapjack. So depends how smished I am!

So much prog 😫. I think you’re probably right though.

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

My parents just moved house. Managed to clear a considerable amount of junk. But turned out books didn't make the cut. I recently put many boxes of books like these into their new garage loft space. Pretty confident said boxes won't get opened in their lifetime 🫤

Thank goodness for the block button so we don’t have to view racist idiots like Larry any longer than a single post.

Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? Sick of scrolling through junk results, AI-generated ads and links to lookalike products? The author and activist behind the term ‘enshittification’ explains what’s gone wrong with the internet – and ...

An ‘ambulatory wallet’ - not how i expected to he described today! Great read about enshitification by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Also while so many people are using it to skip queues, which does ease pressure on NHS. Which may be the same argument that was made about schools so 🤷‍♂️. But not sure putting that pressure back on waiting lists is a good idea. Although perhaps the money raised would shorten them?!

YouTube video by Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell SOUTH KOREA IS OVER

This is a fascinating and scary little video. And what South Korea is experiencing is only slightly ahead of where the UK and many advanced economies are.

Without immigration, we are FUCKED. I mean TOTALLY FUCKED. Yet all parties compete to stop migration. It's madness.

I know we live in a world filled with terrible people doing awful things but I still the worst are Americans shouting "get in the hole" at the Ryder Cup.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience.

It reminded me I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

...but it sure does feel like an opportunity to have a proper debate about the actual value of Ofsted and it's impact has been completely missed. This is 1000% just more of the same and I don't believe it is a net positive on children's education at the end of the day.

I'm not sure if it was those arguing against single word judgments who failed to realise they really should have been arguing against high stakes inspections altogether, or if it was those defending high stakes who managed to make it just about 1 word judgements...
