Yanks adding BREAKING to everything they post challenge: unachievable, incomprehensible, must pretend to be an ace reporter rushing to the nearest payphone to wire in his scoop to the chief editor

My contempt for these pricks is without bounds. The evil computer from that story is telling me I should tone it down a little.

All the AI and Crypto and Trump loving crunts are doubling, tripling down, they must recover some morsel of self-respect, they must not show a lack of faith, it's someone else's fault

That's nice, you elected him twice.

Completely coincidentally that's a useful thing to have to identify what anyone has done on any computer anywhere, fed through some machine-learning-at-scale, and causing humourless men to appear at your door because you don't like fascists.

System76 on Age Verification Laws Liberty has costs, but it's worth it.

The fucking state of this, idiots, the logical and obviously desired end result is some cryptographic permanent id marker that follows you everywhere and you can't create an account on any machine until it phones home and proves you can look at a boob

This shit all got its modern momentum with the tea party bullshit a decade or more ago. Fucking rubes.

Having to use windows home edition and holy fuck it’s unusable, by default it all delivers the most rancid agitprop into its default browser

That would have been a Sound. The 421s seemed pretty loud.

I wonder if there is discrimination on Sodor regarding which engines see superheated a which engines are saturated.

Like who cares if core dns providers go offline for hours for no explained reason, probably just need MOAR AI

Quite a few large outages around the place recently, mostly due to what I just assume are atupid agent devops shit.

Pouring with rain on Brisbane, and there are no frogs calling at all. I’m sure this is fine.

Strategic Air Command logo: a shield with the name in a scroll at the bottom.  Inside the shield is an armoured arm with a clenched fist holding three lightning bolts.

The side of a Bendigo tram with the State Electricity Commission logo in gold leaf on a green background.  The logo is a shield with a scroll containing the name below.  An arm projects from the shield and has a clenched fist holding five bolts of electricity.

Stunning realisation when watching the latest @wtyppod.bsky.social podcast.
The logo of the US Strategic Air Command was stolen from the State Electricity Commission of Victoria.
The 1921 SEC logo was carried by the SEC's provincial trams in Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo.

Never muck with trams!

There’s a few people doing stuff like refurb 386s for a reasonable price but no, nobody is selling anything like an amiga or an acorn Archimedes in Australia and even if they do it’s for several thousand bucks for β€œparts”

You know if you punch a hole in the muffler you get another 50kw, it’s true

Bah. Wish I'd bought an Amiga or an Apple II or something a decade ago. The retro youtubers and the grifters have basically gutted that market.
