@avon_deer Yee, I know. The BBC did a bit of a mashup of it with the BBC News theme in 2019, and this year a reorchestrated version of that mashup.
It's very lovely.

I almost never have issues with it, however kubernetes, docker and all the messy, half-finished, half-stable, half-unusable crap around them that we build the world around... yeah.

You are right, of course, but it's far easier for the human eye to debug JSON than it is a myriad of binary protocols. Bandwidth is fast and relatively cheap.
I come from an embedded background though so it still makes me twitch.
Finger pointing should really go at Web frameworks though. An utter waste of bandwidth to usually display very little.
I still get pissed off using more RAM than I need to. It used to be a source of pride fitting something in the smallest and cheapest chip possible, usually in assembly.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Full on STM32 now in C rather than PIC assembly.
I just finished logging into eight different Twitter accounts (all of which had 2-factor of one kind or another on them, so were fairly safe anyway) and changing all their passwords. Including one account I created back in 2011 or something and have literally never got round to using. I'm not sure I can even remember what it was going to be for, now, although I'm sure I had a project in mind for the account name. I know, I should probably just delete them all, but I hate deleting stuff, probably for the same reason my living space is jammed full of stuff I haven't used yet (but absolutely definitely will someday). At least with fresh passwords they should be safe to leave alone for now.
if you somehow still have a twitter account make sure to change your password, and any shared passwords. they just got hacked

We kink-enable. 😏
Being a furry with lots of wonderful and varied friends means that (almost) no matter what degenerate filth crosses my timeline, I know somebody I can send it to, safe in the knowledge it'll give them an inappropriately timed boner. :3c Muehehehe~ #furry #kobold #phone #kink #teasing #comic

1) Aw shucks do I have to?
2) Living the grindset and barely scraping by and shit keeps going wrong
3) Finally. Can I go home now?

TRON was released 42 years ago today. This film was so far ahead of its time.

We're all lonelier than we want to be, and we all think it's our fault.
It isn't.
Modernity has been optimized for labor, not for life. The result is the destruction of spaces and institutions in which you can make new connections as an adult.
And in a very real sense, this is what the owners want—if you are alone, you cannot organize resistance to inhumane conditions. Instead, you spend your time further optimizing yourself for labor, telling yourself (and others on LinkedIn) that you are living the dream. It's someone's dream, alright.
I don't have a master plan for how to reclaim a sense of local community, but I know that without it, we'll never be as united or as strong as we could be.
does anyone know / is anyone here a #UK solicitor? i need a wee thing: nothing serious at all, but i'm just wondering if it's possible to do it remotely and so would love to chat v briefly to someone about it and get it sorted if possible.
thank you!

I think the most regrettable thing about AI is how the resource requirements quickly became abstracted behind datacenters.
It costs so much power (and therefore emissions) to run, but because we now fire these requests off to AWS / Google Cloud we don't see the damage we are doing.
Goes for regular workloads too, but x1000

The tech giant says it will be difficult to meet its net zero target due to AI using so much energy.Imran Rahman-Jones (BBC News)
I deeply feel these things need regulation. You *should* pay for the emissions you create regardless of whether it's your GPU or some massive server farm.
The fact that it's so cheap to do this means we're going to kill the planet by scanning pictures of food and generating fake news.
Few things piss me off more than a huge, multi-billion IT corporation that suddenly sends me an email regarding an open-source project I’ve been running since 1990’s that I’ve recently shut down due to absolute lack of interest from its users… which happened to be telcos and large IT companies. Here’s what I replied:
Thank you for your email. As it’s often the case with open-source projects, their value to organisations is only noticed and appreciated when they go offline. I have maintained pam_tacplus for the last years and it had the call for sponsorship prominently displayed for most of the time specifically because it’s a legacy project that is difficult to maintain. None of the commercial companies that clearly do rely on it ever demonstrated any interest in even nominal donations, so it was archived. While it’s notable someone finally noticed it, I’m not the person to discuss any future development any more.
I did work in large companies and I do understand the sick logic that drives them, when it’s easier to get approval for annual spending of $50k for some office decorations than $100 for a mission-critical project which happens to be open-source and can be used for free for some time.
But it’s possible. If you’re working in such roles, please make every effort to get this $100 because otherwise it will become your responsibility to develop and maintain code that you always got for free.
polyfill.io was crazy huh, we just let a third party run any JS without even checking integrity. lol
anyway please add this snippet for google tag manager, marketing needs it

Good move, Affinity! They're offering a 6-month no obligation free trial of their software.
Sounds like a perfect time to see if this is your chance to escape Adobe subscription lock-in!
I use Affinity Designer to create games, posters, book covers and more, and Affinity Publisher to create activity books, and a fully interactive planner for teachers. Very glad I made the switch from Adobe all those years ago.
