Were they always horrible people, did money and greed make them horrible, or are they just kissing the rings of those they think will help them become more greedier and horrible?

"Andrew Tatyo" is the name for him that seems to be gathering momentum at the moment.

That pos had said he was going to go to Limp Bizkit in Dublin last night to break noses and basically be a dick in the mosh pit. Dunno if he turned up but when Durst mentioned his name he was roundly booed by the crowd. He's hated here.

"Internet celebrity", are you guys at the @irishexaminer.bsky.social alright there?

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will *never* have an original idea,
and if you use it, neither will *you*

"AI is being used to improve energy efficiency ", ermmmmmm

Doubt they'd have protocols or doubt they'd act on it? I know both are true from experience.

They have a delivery protocol for each of their stores, I'd be pretty sure the driver just isn't adhering to them and a mail to their head office with the photos would get some traction.

Never mind the Buzzcocks. Greg Davies is great but it just doesn't work for me, I think it's down to the guests.

Today marks 20 years since Silent Alarm was released in the UK.

And still sounds as fantastic as it did on release. What a collection of songs!

Nobody should be surprised she'd come out with mad stuff like this.

There's a good reason why COBOL is still knocking around in so many large scale systems, and it's not because it's stupid.

Aldi quietly scrubbed its careers website of all DE&I initiatives According to one employee on Reddit, information on Aldi’s DE&I efforts is now only visible on the company’s internal employee website/portal.

That's Aldi on the list. And boycott Aldi in the EU too.
So cowardly to do it this way.

It took a ridiculous amount of time, how many decades, to get any sort of equality. Anyway, dumb asses that we are we didn't take the opportunity for reform.

I understand that, but my point still firmly stands. Despite what's probably 10 years of third level education covering different qualifications I still don't have a say in any of those 6 seats because none of my diplomas or degrees were studied in a selected set of 3rd level institutions.

The Seanad elections are a bizarre anomaly to our electoral system. I've 3 3rd level qualifications which I've worked hard for since the 90s, including a BsC, and yet I've no input, nor will I ever have, directly into those elections as none of those 3 3rd level are deemed eligible to have any say

So V, the mini TV series, that terrified many of as kids in the 80s was originally mooted as about a fascist political party rising to power in the US. More than 40 years later maybe it's due a rerun.
