...when you pull them leaves out of your cats leg fur, only to raise one of them is a squashed clagg nut. It's a good job the disgusting floofy moron is so adorable.

I don't mind The Cheese being Moved from time to time. In fact I usually welcome it. But there is a level at which the amount of time spent playing Hunt The Cheese is not just exhausting, it's unproductive. Perhaps we could limit changing everything to once a quarter?

Capitalism and communism just have different perverse incentives for doing really stupid shit on an industrial scale, don't they?

Made the mistake of reading a work email on a public holiday. Well... fuck.

#ai haters, your time to shine! In a few weeks I'll probably have to make a presentation on full-cycle agentic development, and it's going to be a tough one. I'd appreciate links to any high-quality analysis of this topic specifically. Downsides, gotchas, misconceptions, you know. The more […]

Just watched Angine de Poitrine's KEXP set. Really enjoyed this. It's absolutely bonkers on many levels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi-9wS1so

First mid week club ride in a while, joined the slow group as I knew it would be comfortable. With some trepidation I thought I recognised a lady who joined too who I vaguely recall was annoying. And oh my word, was she annoying. It's fair to say she's on the larger side so she's a bit slow on […]

is this too much to ask for?

Lady duck did NOT look like she was enjoying duck sex. It looked more like an attempted drowning. Hopefully they had established a safe word 🤞

@mattb The X1 stuff (that came out last year): mostly working. Should mostly boot/work out of the box on Fedora 44. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Snapdragon_WoA_Laptop_Install The new X2 stuff that just came out: Not sure, but likely will need work to work.

There are a bunch of really nice Windows on Arm laptops out there. What's the situation running Linux on them these days?

Holy shitballs, Jira's UI is still an absolute cluster fuck.

Oh, man. What a week!

It's not often I have any pity for the King, but I don't envy him his upcoming assignment. It's degrading.

What are you looking at, weirdo? #caturday

House across the road is for sale. A family just arrived to view it. The estate agent arrived a few minutes before them, and parked his Ferrari immediately outside... Why the fuck would you do that?

Trying to get some work done on the train travelling east in the morning. Train's not too busy so I have a choice seat. I can choose: * To be unable to see my screen because the sun is shining directly on it * To be unable to see anything at all because the sun is directly in my eyes.

It would be really dumb, tbh, but so are a lot of ads, lol. I'm picturing a scenario where Tetley is trying to capture the youth market so they make a billboard with a guy on a skateboard (I'm 35, OK? THIS IS HOW YOU CAPTURE THE YOUTH MARKET IN '97!) doing a nose grab at the top of a quarter […]

Just finished watching All Quiet on the Western Front. Holy shit, that hits hard. I can't imagine how it hit in 1930.

Had a lovely conversation with a farmer last night for whom AI has always meant Artificial Insemination, and the AI revolution was when this became widely used for cows in the 1950s.

You have died of dysentery.

I buy peppermint tea from Aldi. It's not very convenient because every single individual tea bag is wrapped in paper for some reason but I can at least just go and buy them from a shop with cash normally. At least until 2024, when they started wrapping each? individual?? teabag???? in […]

In the UK we call them lifts but in the US they call them elevators, because we’re raised differently.

Filling out my quarterly performance review thinking: when they eventually fire me, my performance won't have had much to do with it.

What the fuck are we doing importing CO2 from the gulf? We've got fucking loads of it right here.

Good morning! I'm alone in the house except for the cats, so I'm taking to the cats. They're not interested.

"Vice-President JD Vance says he led the US delegation in good faith"... I don't think the Trump administration has ever done anything in good faith, and now they're discovering that reputation matters.

Is Coachella the American Glastonbury?

Please can shit just fucking work? I'm fed up with shit not working.

Alternate theory: the Trumps are trying to use the Epstein files to distract media attention from Iran 😆

Did Melania Trump just announce that she was introduced to Cheeto through Epstein's paedo network? Because it really sounded like that.

I need to move off ingress-nginx because it's mothballed. I'm already using #cilium for CNI, so I figured I'd switch to that. Yesterday was discovering that Cilium's gateway api implementation doesn't play nice with MetalLB. I figured that as Cilium BGP control plane can perform the same […]

Good News! Kanye West can remain a massive twat somewhere else 👍

Good morning from sunny Birmingham. #WestMidlands

Tomorrow I plan to go for a nice, healthy bike ride, then eat chocolate until I'm sick.

I've said it before an I'll say it again: This entire project of identity verification with Apple/Google-account bound mobile devices is going to lead the continent down a dark, dark path into full technological submission to the US
