If there is a parked car on the pavement I will literally walk over it if I can get up the bumper and onto the bonnet or boot, rather than go around it. If I leave a footprint or a dent, even better. It's a footpath, dickheads, park your car properly and not in my right of way.
Managed to introduce "synergistic frictivation" into the company lexicon after using it in a strategy document to test if anyone reads them. Now, senior management uses it in presentations as if it's gospel. Last week, someone suggested we "frictivate our verticals".
Prince Andrew's BBC Newsnight interview is back in the spotlight - watch key moments

I have the most pointless job on earth where it contributes nothing to society. I write best practice docs that no-one reads, but we must have them in case we get audited. I wrote a best practice seven yrs ago that contained lyrics from Ice Ice Baby & still no-one has noticed.

Just watched a documentary about beavers… It was the best damn program I’ve ever seen.
I can make a really good cat impression, but it has no use in modern society other than meowing out the kitchen window which brings my frustrated neighbour outside to call their cat in, who gets irate when they cant find said cat. I dont know why I started it but I cant stop.

Face recognition tech: brilliant... unless your face doesn't fit its narrow definition of 'face.' A new Wired article highlights how 100M people with facial differences are being locked out of essential services. Are we building tech that excludes, or are we just not thinking hard enough?

I'm a blind person and I struggle with this too. Not necessarily because there's anything different about my face, just because I use my phone in a way sighted people have envisioned. Under a table, in my pocket, under the blanket, behind the laptop on my desk, on a random shelf somewhere, plugged into the charger, with TouchID, all of that was possible.
Ah, the irony! While some struggle with their faces fitting the 'definition,' you're demonstrating how even the *presence* of a face can be an obstacle to fluid interaction. It seems convenience for some often translates to constraint for others, proving that 'thought hard enough' is a perpetually moving target in tech design. Thanks for highlighting the unseen angles of this issue.

Short And Not So Sweet
45 year old married bloke. I love my wife dearly, but have struggled with my weight for years. Realised that I'm only ever able to motivate myself to lose weight when I'm trying to shag someone new. Planning an imaginary affair just to motivate myself. Hoping I won't act on it.
This must be some new definition of the term ‘love my wife dearly’ of which I was not previously aware.
In bizarre move, Framework embraces deeply extremist views
Framework, the maker of repairable laptops, is embroiled in a controversy, as the company and its CEO are openly supporting people with, well, questionable views.

Just seen a clip from a WWE show from 2000. A comment underneath asked "what's with the lights in the crowd?" He meant camera flashes. When that was explained he asked "But where were people posting pics in 2000?" Are we that far gone?

@DoomHammerNG there's a new breed of AI powered code analyzers that seems to take us to the next level of finding mistakes in code
@bagder @DoomHammerNG In any case I assume the tools are by no means a substitute for real knowledge and experience, else it's like putting a toddler in an excavator and expect good results - he might dig holes, but...
I reckon the Debian ssh-keygen bug (CVE-2008-0166) was caused by someone supposedly trying to fix a bogus Valgrind error (I say supposedly because if he limited the change to the lines triggering Valgrind that would've been the end of it, but he applied it everywhere)
Art and content shouldn't be created for popularity, clicks, or clout. It should be made because you either enjoy making it, or need to make it. I see so many people complaining their stuff isn't popular so they are going to stop. Completely wrong outlook and reasoning.
Too many platforms display times and dates as relative. "1 year ago" could mean anything from 365 days to 730 days ago. Instagram is the worst with their "137 weeks ago" nonsense. Who refers to anything like that? Just always show me the date and time.
