Going to do some more Styscraper browser testing but so far looking good for launch on Tue/Wed, fingers crossed
Testers seem to like it, & it has more lasting appeal than Penga, so I'm hoping it'll at least be a slow-burn success

putting luigi in a bulletproof vest is a really funny attempt to make him look like a Dangerous Terrorist. if he walked the streets of new york unguarded the greatest danger he'd face would be having his dick sucked clean off its hinges

The last photo I took of him; he was having a rest while playing with a cardboard box he'd had his eye on for days

Hahaha, this was meant to be a reply to @loren but I am apparently not paying sufficient attention to things today.
I will leave it as a standalone post of positivity 😆

This was on the official instagram account of the white house. They kind of misunderstood titles. Kings lead kingdoms. He leads a country. And that's more fitting.

People in Dubai don't know about the Flintstones, but people in Abu Dhabi do.

the marketing team is taking a break from huffing the LLM glue to snort some QC dust just in case their glue supply runs out

the latest QC marketing hype from Microsoft is very funny
> we're going to make quantum happen within years not decades
Microsoft: well known experts on how long things take, that's why the file copy dialog box is so accurate
> we made a chip use Morjana particles
bro you had to retract the research paper from the journal last time you claimed this
> it has 8 gates
that's less compute power than my shirt
> we have a path to million gate scale
uh huh. with low error rate, right? right???

Tesla is pretty much done as a consumer brand, isn't it? Surely the only thing propping it up is the assumption he'll milk the US govt & its international agreements for every cent

After almost two years in the role, I recently received the unfortunate news that my job as Head of Editorial for [well-known cybersecurity] company is being eliminated because of corporate realignment.
I'm really sad and still in shock tbh. And I also need to find another job now in order to pay to keep a roof over my head, I guess?
Not really sure what the future holds but before I was in the job I'm now no longer have, I was a cybersecurity journalist for many, many years at ZDNet ( a role which was also taken out from under me when the whole senior editorial team was eliminated by new owners... who went onto sell the site at a big loss) so hopefully I'm still remembered from that.
(Google doesn't remember me though, my knowledge panel isn't a thing anymore)
I know I'm rambling now, but yeah - editorial, content, writing, journalism, that's my thing. Hopefully someone out there in the tech/cyber space needs that? Please. 🥺
Additional: something that's already proving tricky is that I'm in the UK, when it feels like the job market in this space is not great at all.

A little moment of tickle joy in the hope it serves as a timeline cleanse for those that need it.

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.
We don't want to be on any list.
And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.
I am afraid what they will do with that.

You look at it and it makes no sense and it's scary.
As you stare, for a split second there is understanding. The universe expands before your eyes, reality unraveling.
Then the madness sets in."
