My dream job is to run a cozy little bookshop, but without worrying about having to succeed as a small business. So basically a money laundering front where I get to read

I'm extremely grateful to the people who have made Desktop on Linux better year over year. I've managed to install practically all of my old apps on Debian with very few hitches. Uh.. so, if you're a package maintainer, OS maintainer, kernel dev, or anything in between that has contributed to making the experience that much smoother, my thanks to you.

I remember the first time I saw the internet on a Windows 95 machine. Back when text was in Times New Roman and everything was in HTML tables.

I asked, “Who checks that this information is correct?”—meaning, who fact-checks this stuff? The answer was: no one. Anyone could publish anything.

It felt like somewhat of a weakness and I thought that it would likely be exploited by bad actors. And reader, I was correct.

Another option to upgrade from Windows 10 is Windows 95.
It's 85 versions ahead, it will blow your mind how advanced it is.

If you are about to reply saying ‘no Kevin, AI is the future, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle’… that was a great talking point in 2022, which wasn’t true then either.

Generative AI is a group wank of dying men onto soggy tweets. There’s no genie and no bottle, eventually people are going to go ‘…oh, this isn’t really a game changer is it?’. No, it’s just people trying to monetise copyright theft.

Productivity increases from AI are like teenage sex. Everybody is talking about it. Not that many are experiencing it.

Mastodon welcome to the family Wash and Mal. They join my other two, Inara and Kaylee, in December. Yes I'm collecting the entire crew of Serenity.#catsofmastodon #mainecoon #kitten

In public treat axis nationals or quislings coldly.

Celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month by destroying anything with a computer chip in it and running off to live in the woods

Quick pop in to say - LOOK - A MUSICAL MUSHROOM 🍄‍🟫 🎶

"This is a mushroom playing in the wild in some woods near Glossop in Manchester. The attached sensors measure bio-electrical fluctuations in the mushroom. The fluctuations are converted into signals that control the robotic arms. The keyboard playing a synth in Ableton Live. "

Big thanks to @glide for pointing me at it.

An under appreciated contributor to obnoxious phone behaviour in public is the combination of the removal of an audio jack from most phone models and the cost of wireless headphones. Who is going to give a 10 year old £250 blue tooth headphones for the school run?

the internet has broken me

Unclear if the crab transport box is required or if I could just carry an emotional support crab in my pocket for 14 hours

We rarely buy anything in airport duty free but I was very tempted by a LIVE HAIRY CRAB

"If you lose an item inside your seat, please call for assistance"

A Christian asking what makes it morally wrong to hurt people if there’s no god is such a self report
