After 200 years can we admit that The Luddites were right all along. Automation leads to fewer jobs, lower wages, devalues skilled labour and leads to exploitation by the rich company owners.
Google appears to have deleted its political ad archive for the EU; so the last 7 years of ads, of political spending, of messaging, of targeting - on YouTube, on Search and for display ads - for countless elections across 27 countries - is all gone.

Fuck sake. I'm literally just writing a Word document and saving it to my hard drive. STOP ASKING ME TO USE YOUR SHITTY AI AND YOUR SHITTY CLOUD SERVICE. Why is this decades old basic task such a fucking chore now? It's broiling my shit.
I chased a man 20 years my junior down the exit hall at work, at a full sprint, while shouting in anger because I wanted to be the first one out of the building that day and took offense when he darted past. I don't know what possessed me. Neither of us has ever spoken of it.
Zatímco v Česku vrcholí horká fáze kampaně, já už mám odvoleno. Spolu s více než dvaceti tisíci krajany jsem se rozhodl letos poprvé vyzkoušet korespondenční hlasování. To se dostalo do novely zákona o správě voleb a umožňuje Čechům žijícím v zahraničí…
Android dlouhá léta bojkotoval podporu DHCPv6, aby zabránil přidělování jednotlivých adres koncovému zařízení. Připravuje se řešení, ale od správců sítí bude vyžadovat úpravy nastavení i adresních plánů.

Президент Франции заявил, что страна не считает происходящее в секторе Газа геноцидом:
Это не просто политическое заявление. Признавать что-либо геноцидом могут только судьи или историки на основании ряда доказательств, чёткой правовой базы и явных элементов.
If you use AI for any part of your creative output, I'm going to assume you did so out of laziness and that your lack of passion tells me I should avoid whatever it is you've made.
Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation
Last night, my wife looks up from her computer, troubled. She tells me she can't log into her computer running Windows 11, as every time she enters the PIN code to her account, the login screen throws up a cryptic error: "Your credentials could not be verified". She's using the correct PIN code, so that surely isn't it. We opt

Back when I first WFH, I ended a very serious & professional call with a supplier, then turned to my cat to squeal "Does pussy-wuss want some kitty-cat food for her little tum-tum?" Then I heard the click of the supplier actually ending the call. I'm also a bloke.
We always buy a new board game to play with the family at Christmas. What nobody knows is that I buy two copies and spend a couple of months studying tactics and memorising answers. Every year I beat them hands down; it's worth the expense of buying two games.

For the first time since September of 2019, FX Radio lives again!
What is FX Radio?
Basically, it's a stream with a stack of three media players shuffling through a huge collection of royalty free sound effects, music, and sometimes other odd things.
Essentially, it's audible streaming chaos, and a possible drug substitution if you are so inclined.
There are still some things to be tweaked, so it may randomly disappear from time to time, but we here at NoiseBox HQ are mostly happy with how it's working so far, streaming live from a computer under @BorrisInABox's mom's desk, and she has no idea it's there.
More features will be added in the coming days, hopefully.
There is no website or anything fun like that, just a stream URL.
Last weekend, we reached another milestone in our efforts to have all Debian packages versioned in Salsa (Debian's GitLab instance). Out of around 39000 packages, less than 2000 are not in Salsa! Check trends.debian.net/#vcs-hosting for some cool graphs #debian #salsa #09
Wow, I'm old enough to remember the calls for packaging standardization (with cdbs being a failed attempt at that). That graph makes it look like we're almost there!
