Dad of a monster and a princess. Civil Engineer. Weeb. Adopted Yorkshireman.
Watched The Substance.

Jesus. Fuck. What the hell did I watch. It was incredible. And awful. I felt scared. Sick. (I was sick last night in the first half just as she was doing the lumbar puncture but that was from a tummy bug...)

It's replaced Tusk as my top fucked up visual horror film.

100%

When my apprentice engineers mess up, I have to tell them that the buck stops with me. I'll manage the issue but it's our mutual responsibility to learn from the mistake and try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Cover your arse only goes so far.
I do think this is what so many people get wrong about management.

You're not getting paid more because you are somehow nebulously better.

It is compensation for accepting responsibility.

Shit stops with you. Even when you know someone else did it. You manage that shit.

“Enshittification” is the word of the moment. It’s the reason Google is all ads and Amazon serves you crappy overpriced products. Cory Doctorow, who coined the term, joins @nndroid.bsky.social and @rafaelbehr.bsky.social to discuss how we can combat it ➡️ linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnowpod

Which one? I did have four, but I have two now, mostly as I don't plan on building another pc again.
Bluesky, how big is your box of old cables? If you know you know.

MVM tell me their stock of DanDaDan sold out on day 1 - seems like the series is a massive physical hit - well deserved too!

Setting up the boy properly.

Not seen star wars or trek yet. But has now seen Spaceballs.

He was so happy it had a giant robot in it. Literally jumped for joy at Mega maid 🤣🤣

He has asked to see star wars... I'll think about it.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
