This right here is why nobody takes Labour seriously any more. If you think Brexit was a mistake and is holding the country back, fight to reverse it! But no, more drifting and pointless triangulation.

America's only significant exports nowadays: Slop and Hate.

The reason they keep saying "in the long term": we need to wait till every Brexit voter is six foot under

Battlefront 2 code leaked

I immediately thought that was a euphemism meaning the orange fucker had croaked

Rightly or wrongly, my brain now automatically goes "yep, written by AI" when I see a sentence like "GitHub is not slowing down on AI features. It is doubling down on them. The outages are what doubling-down looks like in production."

Starmer failed to make Brexit work for the same reason Gorbachev failed to make Marxism-Leninism work: you can't tinker your way out of a broken foundation.

Was it British Airways or a Virgin airplane

"Alko on suljettu": Akseli Gallen-Kallela, 1897

Europe needs independent social infrastructure, not just an app. This is what we're building. eurosky.tech/build/

Take a look at my big choppa! Heh Heh heh

One thing I've noticed over time is the disempowerment of developers through frameworks such as Scrum or SAFE and the proliferation of "product" thinking, OKRs etc. Kind of an industrialisation from craft to assembly line.

You can tell Musk is a teenager trapped in an older man's body because his mother caught him using a sock.

I wonder if this is because Pauline Kael was a movie critic who saw dozens of movies a week/month, and became jaded with that much input - ordinary people went to the cinema once a fortnight, and maybe saw TV movie once a week. Now we're all on streaming, we're becoming jaded like Pauline Kael.

Bamboo plastic is all very well but what if your room-mate is a panda and he eats your Playstation when you're out

I reckon the Greens should retaliate and put gigantic wind farms on all the golf courses of Reform voting strongholds

Software Engineer position open at U. Copenhagen and @aicentre.dk on the Narratives project, co-advised by @ysiglidis.bsky.social, @mariaa.bsky.social (CU Boulder), and me: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

The real conspiracy theory is not why there are so many attempts on Trump but why there are so few

The Labour parliamentary party - all 400 odd MPs - are so awash with talent they need to borrow a mayor from Manchester to be PM

If Israel wanted to trigger Article 5, sure why not

Any European politician who signs a contract with Palantir is committing treason against their own citizens

A decisive step for Europe’s digital future. The European Commission has awarded a €180 million, 6-year contract to European cloud providers, strengthening our capacity to manage sensitive data under EU rules. 1/2

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself! And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

Apparently the LinkedIn language proficiency form asks you for your Duolingo score. That's like asking someone in the building trade how long they have been playing Minecraft

Yesterday Bluesky went down. @eurosky.social servers worked but we couldn't communicate as we don't have an app. Our next step is to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. We're raising €100,000 to build a European app backend supporting 100k+ users. Let's do this fund.eurosky.tech

Your dad when you leave the fridge door open

Everyone is of the opinion that AI is good for all those other things except MY special field (see writers talking about artists, artists talking about developers, developers talking about writers). There's only one job AI can replace without anyone noticing the difference - the C-Suite.

So if Peter Magyar was English he'd be called Johnny English?

The US constitution for all its supposed reputation feels more and more like it was scrawled on the back of a napkin after a bong session in the 1700s

US: "The Catholic Church had better take our side." The Catholic Church:

Still a couple of places left on tomorrow morning's workshop for self-funding learners. Hands-on intro to Test-Driven Development guided by someone who's been doing and teaching it for 26 years. www.tickettailor.com/events/codem...

You have to be really, REALLY bent to get ejected from YC.

Does anyone hear speak fluent Gaeilge? I need a quick translation for a small indie project, just two lines of dialog, and my usual source is not available... I would appreciate it!

The United Papal States

Thinking for some reason of that Roman emperor who invaded Persia and ended up as a footstool for the Persian emperor

EU:ssa ja Suomessa on turhan varovainen ja alistuvainen linja Trumpin suhteen. Ei tuomita Trumpin kansainvälisen oikeuden loukkauksia, eikä todeta, että laittomuudet ovat laittomia. Ja kun ei tule vastustusta eikä tuomitsemista, hän menee pidemmälle ja pidemmälle www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/su...

The difference is I didn't have kids of my own then

I prefer the old days when cranks came up with their own theories after huffing glue out of a paper bag

"I'm the government, and I'm here to harm you."

A few amazing people are working on issues already. The event page has a volunteer, so next up is the contact form or “Get Involved” sections. Please make any issues for problems you find along the way.

Now I get why they had all those computer glitches everywhere in Terminator 3. Skynet was vibe-coded.

JD Vance:

So this is what America means when they say they are the global policeman.

I'm only a history graduate and not a professor but one lesson of history is that people in power are often just dumb and do dumb things without a secret plan. Napoleon III and Wilhem II were just dumb, so is Trump
