I love ALIEN’s vision of the future. Yes, everyone is still working shit jobs for shit corporations for shit pay. But the good news is they’ve successfully made robots full of milk that are bitchy little fruits

I would simply not have booked the mentally ill anti-semite.

The Artemis II mission was as awe inspiring as the Apollo program yesterday. Now fucking look at it.

Shots fired, Italy.

I don’t know who needs to know this, but Marks & Spencer extremely chocolatey hot cross buns are back in stock for the season

you: [stressing for days to send the perfect single email] billionaires: hi, . w=en r we mee&ting to do iLlegiL stuff , . ?

We’ve just published the video of @topper.me.uk's AWS re:Invent 2025 Recap & Discussion. Watch now - awsuguk.org/our-videos/ #AWS #AI #Serverless #AWSCommunity #DevOps #EC2

I’d watch an anime of Dark City.

Ok team, I’ll be at @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social at the beginning of next month. Who else will I be seeing there?

“New thing”. lol.

Classic AI boosterism

The EU AI Act essentially demands this.

This used to happen in the early days of the dot com gold rush, but the thefts were mostly things like Cisco line cards, worth tens of thousands and easily smuggled out in a pocket.

Good morning!

Wed 14 Jan 2026, AWS re:Invent 2025 Recap & Discussion 🎤 @topper.me.uk will cover what mattered, what didn’t, and what’s useful now vs later. Then - open discussion, so bring your questions + hot takes. www.meetup.com/awsuguk/even... #AWS #CloudComputing #DevOps #Serverless #AWSCommunity #AWSCloud

Honestly can’t tell what’s more stupid: football itself; FIFA inventing a “peace prize”; or the idea that tangerine hitler deserves it. This is the absolute fucking dumbest timeline. Brawndo for our crops next.

CMV: These are just Niknaks

Ok, @topper.me.uk here for the final AWS re:Invent keynote of the year. This one is Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com, and unusually it's just an hour long - which is probably for the best, because it's pretty late here in the UK.

Sorry, @topper.me.uk again. It's time for the Infrastructure Innovations keynote from AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas. In this keynote we usually expect to hear Peter DeSantis and Dave Brown talk about some of the impressive feats of engineering that keep this hyperscaler up and running.

I'm happy to share we have a fresh aws-vault release v7.8.0 including some cool features like custom endpoint URL, extended package support with NixOS, latest dep updates and others 🚀 Glad to see active #OSS community involvement and helping keeping the project active! github.com/ByteNess/aws...

"Agentic AI makes it cheaper for us to get to space". Sure, Jan.

Hello again! @topper.me.uk here reporting from the second AWS re:Invent keynote, this time given by Dr Swami Sivasubramanian. The keynote is titled "The Future of Agentic AI is Here" which might well mean we get less Sagemaker and other data content today, but let's see.

Accenture claim that tech debt costs $2.4T in the US alone. Which they should know, because they caused most of it.

Amazon Quick appears to have way more to it than when I last looked. It's been rolled out across Amazon, and everyone's getting value from it apparently. The image I have is of Garman, standing over the rest of the business, pushing dogfood into everyone's face, one wobbly spoonful at a time

(Imagine being an AI model that's trained to moderate Reddit. The horrors you'd have to subject it to).

Right, @topper.me.uk here - it's AWS re:Invent keynote time! Today, CEO Matt Garman opens proceedings. I'll be covering it as best I can from here in the UK, where I'm grateful not to have been awake from 4am, and then crammed into a keynote theatre (or "theater" as they call it there).

Hello! @topper.me.uk here. It has been quiet of late hasn't it? Well, luckily for me, there's no algorithm to penalise that, and luckily for you it's AWS re:Invent time again, so you get to see a barrage of updates from me on the topic.

Satire is dead.

Surprising no one.

A female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%).

I wish the alternative to technology made by evil corporations was not technology made by deranged libertarians.

Shill harder, dickheads.

every company in 2025

Get your establishment wrong-un name by adding HRH Prince before your name, removing it, and double hyphening what remains with cake and an English town.

Absolutely not.

Dude wandering through the airport with his headphones in, and the audiobook he’s listening to blaring out of the speaker from the phone in his pocket.

The Andrew formerly known as Prince.

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

The hypocrisy of Reform going on TV to allege that certain groups are constantly over represented on TV is truly epic.

Great time last night - thanks to all for coming! Big thank you to @sheenbrisals.bsky.social and Andrew Langhorn for two great talks! #AWS #AWSCommunity #EventDriven #EventBridge #EC2 #Nitro #AWSCloud #DevOps

Monday’s ads for its stupid purple AI slop machine can entirely fuck off.

Wake up babe, AWS incident write-up just dropped. aws.amazon.com/message/1019...

The hotel I stayed at when visiting Miami last year just sent a push message to my phone offering me 6 months of Perplexity. Why is a hotel brand shilling for AI companies? MAKE THE MADNESS STOP.

I had something for this about Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe et al, but I rather suspect “goonscrolling” has an entirely different meaning in the year of our lord 2025.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

Imagine having less game than a fucking AI *and* thinking this would work as a tactic. Give me strength. “Chatfished” is an excellent word for it though.

New video is OUT! - How We're Building Audacity 4 youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38?...

If you’ve been using an abandoned version of aws-vault, why not take a look at this fork? It has a couple of new features, and is now the default in Homebrew. Drop a star on the GitHub project if you’re using it.

Why are people such fucking idiots about football?

ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract. EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: Shit yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks
