The problem with self hosting things is that when they break I don’t get to just shrug and assume it’ll magically fix itself in a bit. Thankfully it’s just my RSS reader so it can wait.

I just said Heat to my TV because I wanted to watch it. It informed me it’s 21c at the moment.

@benc my biggest gripe with the GitHub Flow is that it’s so non-obvious how to review one commit at a time.

Thank you Poe, Quora’s LLM, for providing me details of the Air Force One escape pod, alongside many Quora posts about Air Force One not having an escape pod. (Why yes, I have just watched Air Force One)

@hugh @solderandchaos @CatherineFlick +1 on crowd funding, pretty sure if you post about it there you’ll be covered in a day or two.

@herdingdata @andrew I think it’s that 5G is a big cost bump and doesn’t add a huge amount for most customers who don’t really need the extra bandwidth on their travel router.

@anon_opin how do you think the staff in the places people were out for their late night get home?

@dave the man’s got more class than Trump’s entire cabinet.

@nilsding @q someone turned on i18n for their C compiler and it translated pound for them.

@jerry 1998 - everyone’s Windows install is riddled with ad popups from browser toolbars. 2025 - everyone’s Windows install is riddled with ad popups from Microsoft.

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this, and I’m not convinced the moderators were wrong. If the video featured two people you liked would you still be campaigning that it should be allowed to stay?

Politics, malaise

@anon_opin the absolute best long term thing they could do universal basic income, but as a second best this will do.

Thank you to YouTube for curing me of my idly watching YouTube addiction. I watched a few cooking videos and now my recommendations are almost entirely along the lines of JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHY DO YOU CUT ONIONS LIKE THAT? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY KITCHEN.

@catsalad my brother got me one of these for Christmas, along with a pen which electrocutes you. He may not know it but we’re now at war.

@driusan @pascoda me too, buddy. Me too:

@anon_opin they’re like shipping containers. Duplicates exist around the place but so long as they’re not both in the same place at the same time it doesn’t matter.

You know what would be a good use of all this ML driven analysis of videos YouTube are doing? Penalising any video in which the person on screen uses the phrase “like and subscribe” or similar. I’m so bored of being told to hit that notification bell, I do not, ever, want a push notification because someone posted a video on YouTube.

@andrew yeah, for a long time I’d decided I couldn’t do it. Thought I was ready but it would seem not, spent some time afterwards feeling like I’d been punched in the gut.

I just watched Children of Men for the first time in a decade. Please send pictures of kittens to help me recover.

@LevelUp @anon_opin I know this doesn’t matter to Trump but I’m not sure he has authority to legislate on what straws restaurants provide.

@pikesley I mean there’s LEDs, lasers and an arcade, so yeah, it’s like EMF if EMF also had a billion screens showing football and served shit beer.

I’m in a recently refitted bowling alley and I think it’s about 80% RGB LED strip by volume.
