My grandparents were bombing each other. So you literally missed the bit where he was going on about antisemitic conspiracy theories being "the actual truth"? Crikey. Appears no on…

I think you need to watch the videos not look at the photos as the videos show more unambiguous context and do not come with a narrative explaining them away. These are plain and s…

If it's the ADL, they don't speak for everyone and they do not speak for me. I'm literally German descended, living in the UK with little to no shit given about Trump whatsoever at…

That's literally unambiguously a nazi salute. I've seen them before, from actual nazis. Because I am descended from one unfortunately. It's shameful and at no point does any word p…

Feels like Amazon are turning into Microsoft slowly. Try everything, spread themselves too thin and then shitcan it later. I am reluctant to use anything other than their core IaaS…

Perhaps they did and got told no and decided to take it anyway? Defending themselves with technicalities and expensive lawyers may be financially viable. Zero ethics but what would…

I can assure you I’m a plain idiot, not the idiot savant.

This is slightly poetic after the flights diverted due to the Starship debris the other day. Also remind me never to fly Delta.

Not really had any problems with that and I'm older than you are. And quite frankly I didn't have any money really until I hit about 35. I just lived within my means.

Oh this is nothing. One of my colleagues does that and adds random colour changes, underlines and font face changes. It's like working with a serial killer.

Quite frankly, it's cultural and the thing I hear a lot is simply: fuck that for a job! I could quite happily get on fine at one of those big American style startups but I don't ge…

Hardware engineer here, from a qualification perspective. I worked for a large American defence company and was invited to work in the US. I declined. The work culture, social and …

Extrapolating this point outward, I don't think there is really any community computing. Most people I know literally still to use the lowest common denominator of communications b…

Our tradition of electing morons into ministerial positions continues unimpeded by rationality, logic or perhaps even competence. I expect to see a resignation at some point in the…

This isn’t the only risk. There is also the problem of radicalising people. This has been a big problem in Europe.

No one gives a fuck in this industry until someone turns up with bigger lawyers. This is behaviour which is written off with no ethical concerns as ok until that bigger fish comes …

Back to Gopher. They'll never get us there!

How else are you going to load a hideously incorrect AI summary block without your initial page latency being through the roof?

Urgh sorry EFF but you’ve lost me on this one. There is actual harm done to democracy on these platforms. A democracy requires informed voters to function and the platform does the…

I heard someone say it's like trying to land the Statue of Liberty. Turns out the statue is actually shorter.

We should have our own sovereign comparable technology companies in Europe by now. Fail. Sold the fundamental industries out to Philips who sold it to the Chinese.

Yes, when someone uses it to weaponise or manipulate the population via spreading lies and misinformation. I think the Greeks worked that one out a couple of thousand years ago or …

To be fair the model S wasn't like that the last time I drove one (hired 2022 model S). It's less of an iPad than the model 3 is. What is however terrible is none of the trim fits,…

I'd buy a Polestar 2 if I had somewhere to charge it. I hired a few over the last couple of years. Basically an electric Volvo. Everything just worked and they aren't particularly …
