@canonicalltd.bsky.social I've been an Ubuntu user and evangelist for more than 20 years. If you bake age verification into Ubuntu, know that we are done. You're supposed to be fighting for us, not holding the lube for those trying to take our freedoms away

Do one of my banks have a department that's dedicated to being a pain in the arse? They just cancelled my internet banking "for security reasons" because I haven't used it often enough. It's where I keep my savings. I hardly ever go in there

My new NAS has been out for delivery since 10:20 this morning. It's still not here (delivery by 8pm). 10 minutes left. It's going to turn up in the middle of my 8pm Zoom call. Oh no. They chose DHL (Drop it, Hide it, Lose it.)

What a great headline

TFW you have no food left and really need to go to the store to do your weekly shopping and you suddenly get an email from #UPS that says your package of expensive stuff that was due to be delivered Tuesday will now arrive today sometime so you can't go out. Thanks a bunch

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

I'm looking at the whole #AI landscape and I'm really getting a bad feeling about this. I'm logged on to my pension provider's website and I'm working out how to move my pension investments out of AI. I don't want this hand grenade in my hand when it goes off

Not NOW Satan, we're kind of dealing with some stuff.

@synologyofficial.bsky.social Can I use any drives in the DS1525+ or can I only use your own-brand ones?

Thinking it's time to replace my old @synologyofficial.bsky.social DS418j. I'm looking at the DS1525+. It looks good but I can't believe you are still using that 4-pin power connector, the one that falls out if I even look at it funny

Looking at reviews of a network storage device on YouTube. Some guy just used the word "evolutionized." I think I'm going to be sick. **** right off!

Seen online: “Not only did The Fifth Element predict the social media influencer, it also predicted that he would be annoying as hell.”

Yay! The annual corporate training just dropped in my inbox that requires me to learn about what is acceptable conduct in dealings with our competitors and customers, despite me being in a role that has no contact with either

porn is not evil. sex is not evil. pleasure is not evil. kink is not evil. none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about. none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing. resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

Do @ezcooldown.bsky.social PCM packs have a shelf life? Mine were fine in May. I just got them out and they've gone completely solid at room temperature

I just got an email from my NAS. The primary storage pool is short on disc space. This is going to be expensive. All the drive slots are full. At the minimum, I need to buy a complete set of new drives. Honestly, I should replace the whole chassis with a new, higher performance one

#Xbox are demanding I age verify my account that I've had for years. They can get fucked. I'm not compromising my security by uploading my ID documents. I'm closing my account and selling my console.

Just got a movie recommendation. I looked it up on IMDB and it has an IMDB rating of 17%. I think that's the lowest score I've ever seen. I'm not going to bother watching that

It's a universal truth.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_...

"Hmm... That looks like a show I might enjoy." *Clicks on it in Prime Video* Seasons 2 and 3 are available. Season 1 is "not available due to expired rights." So, If I try to watch this legally, I miss the first season. WTF? Is it any wonder people are downloading stuff unlawfully?

Announcement on the train says I should call British Transport Police if I see anything that doesn't look right. I wonder if this includes the price of my ticket. It's nearly doubled since I last used the train

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

don't sleep on this one I laughed so hard I scared my cats

Amazon can shove Prime Video up their arses. I just had my favourite show ruined by ads. I will not pay their extortion demand to go ad-free

Your Party should be considered DOA unless @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social and @zarahsultana.bsky.social expel him. Homophobia orTransphobia is a red line.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

I just went through my YouTube feed and tapped "Not interested" on all the AI slop. Wow. Things look a lot better now

LLM truthers keep trying different ways of saying "But how do we KNOW that using statistical regression to create a string of tokens that resemble an answer to a prompt is not the same thing as actual thought, though?" And the answer is always: because it isn't.

There is a shoe in my garden. It's not mine. Where did that come from?

Our MP literally have VPN on their expenses and they fucking dare pull this shit?! What a fucking laugh.

I wanna be weird forever

Just some ducks enjoying peas

Ofcom says that if you refuse to censor yourself under the Online Safety Act, it will force payment processors and ISPs to stop doing business with you. When the government can't shut you up, the banks and credit cards will. Absolutely terrifying. www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

Dear MasterCard and Visa. You have one job in my life. That job is to facilitate me spending what is, at the end of the day, my money on the legal things I want. It is not your place to interfere with what the places I shop at sell. Get with the plan or I'll find a different way to spend my money
