I had to contact Cursor's customer support because their AI support bot insisted that I could remove myself from my old job's team account in the UI. Once a human got involved it turned out that the AI had indeed hallucinated this feature.

Turned 37 recently and my wife is doing a very delayed clear out of some of our older unworn clothes. Nothing has ever made me feel older some of the styles on Depop. WTF is Whimsygoth?

I'm making a joke conspiracy theory website for a thing and honestly I can see why so many idiots end up doing this grift. The copy is so easy to write when you're making fun of it.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

At GOV.UK we always had a joke that it should be 1 form with an input for your national insurance number and a submit button that read "Sort everything out".
I suppose this is still 1 form.

The view that London is for the White English is fucking insane. Londoners drink in Irish pubs, the most popular foods are Turkish + Indian, the UK's biggest music exports are Garage and Jungle. The most popular tourist hotspots include Chinatown and Brick Lane.

It's been a while since I had a good weird bug to talk about, but today I figured out that BST started later in 1953. Since JavaScript has no native date type, React Native gets a Date from our backend, incorrectly turning it into 11pm the day before, and rendering the wrong date.
