Why does it matter? I cycle 16 miles a day through the country. I’m a 58 year old, slightly overweight old fart, by the way. Get an electric bike and it’s even easier. It’s just stupid spending all that money on a car to do that sort of distance.

Yeah, that’s not the posting history of a real person.

“I normally do about 15 to 20 miles a day”. You don’t need a car to do that. A bicycle will be just as fast if there is rush hour traffic.

They are already sucking at Microslop’s AI-encrusted teat. It’s a major UK university, and there used to be a mix of systems, with a lot of really good functional software written in-house. Over the past decade, as they have been retired, they were replaced with MS-based turd-rolled-in-glitter ecosystems that drive me up the wall. The old stuff wasn’t pretty, but it worked and did all you needed and no more. It now feels like some sort of Rube Goldberg machine with fireworks.

I have to use Jira at work. It’s fucking awful.

This is impressive technology which has the potential to benefit humans by having things like robot firemen who just walk into flaming buildings and rescue people.

But who am I kidding? Tech companies will just it to cut jobs in order to enrich themselves and make everyone else poorer.

I hope you have good fingernails. I have used a pair of pliers in the past.

So you have a problem and the way you see of solving it is to make it someone else’s (far worse) problem. You know it’s wrong. Don’t be a dick.

Humour doesn’t punch down. That’s just bullying.

This is 100% the fault of vets and the manufacturers. They both push to give treatments every month, and it’s simply not needed. We have 4 cats which only get treated when one or more actually gets fleas. One treatment of all 4 is enough to get rid of all the fleas. So how often do any of the cats get fleas? None of them got fleas last year, and so far no fleas this year either. It’s ridiculous to say they need monthly treatments, and it is purely for profit,

My bookmarks are organised into folders. Once an open folder gets a scroll bar, I prune the links.

Gosh, if only there was something Russia could do in order to stop these reprisal attacks from the country they are currently invading and bombing.

We have to get lucky every time. They only have to get lucky once.

It tastes like chicken.

“It’s you, or everyone you love, Jeffrey. Here’s a bedsheet knotted liked a rope, the camera is broken and no one is coming to check you for 30 minutes.”

The world is changing all right - it’s being slowly drowned in AI slop.

He thinks we are as stupid as he is.

Been using it for a couple of decades now. It just keeps getting better. You can’t say that about many things these days.

You’ll have trouble finding someone worse than trump, but if you do I’m sure he’ll win with a landslide.

Google’s “don’t be evil” was like a warrant canary. It didn’t need to be precise, it just needed to be there.
