Standard for Virgin Media, email me 5 days after I paid them saying I have a debt, probably because their internal systems are shit.

Voyager 1 has 60kb of memory, an 8-track tape and runs on Fortran. It has come up close and personal with every planet in our solar system and also Pluto (heh)

So why the fuck do I need to download megabytes of JavaScript just to read a webpage.

Today in 1943 Yugoslav resistance fighter Lepa Radić was killed by the Nazis. Unbroken after days of torture she was given a final chance on the gallows to give up her comrades.

She said "I'm no traitor. You'll know them when they come for you, to the last man."

She was 17

Anybody check on what the Royal Society did 90 years ago when this came up?

What’s the difference between Mercedes-Benz, IBM and Tesla?

… nothing, they all supported Nazis, but at least for two of them, it was 85 years ago.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims.

What he's doing is a travesty.

Meta are deleting underperforming AI’s?

Well that explains the Nick Clegg news.
NEW: Meta tells me that it is deleting the AI profiles that are currently going viral, and that there is "confusion" about these versus what is to come in the future.

A few of them are being deleted as we speak:

Hands up if you can count the passage of time by the date on which your dog snaps a knee ligament?

Mine's snapped her left one, 3 years to the day after snapping her right one

(She's got health insurance, this is very treatable, the surgery is called a TPLO)

He didn't "quit the Church" - he remains a practising member of the CoE. What he did, at the age of nearly 90, was give up his licence to officiate (basically be a priest).

Too little, too late! How many services did he have left in him anyway?

I don't work for free and neither should you.

> at the moment *REDACTED* wants to limit my salary based on the revenue/margin it makes on me. That should be mutual and hence I will only do work that directly makes the revenue and all the *REDACTED* admin work is done by someone else.
