There's a man crashing out in my Threads replies because I said your AI generated code isn't production ready if you don't know what's being generated.

So far he's asked who I think I am to talk about production ready code and tried to use the "you look like an only fans bot" as an insult.

I just spent the last two hours debugging the Bluetooth stack *in anger* because for the last few weeks I've had to re-pair my mouse with my laptop. Every time. Remove mouse, re-pair.

Turns out I had two identical mice in my backpack and I've been switching between them.

It was me.

Thinking out loud: There's a lot of really heroic indy media documenting how inhumane Stephen Miller's dragnet is.

We need a campaign noting that if you want to fix the housing market you need to fire Stephen Miller.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.
Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

If you consider the outcome of a democratic election to be a loss of sovereignty, then you are the problem.
Trump: "We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we'll take care of it. Don't worry 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.

You honestly can't make this up. There was no way #Brexit was ever going to cut regulation or bureaucracy for exporters to the #EU, large or small, unless we opted to stay in the Single Market and Customs union. Many of us in business repeatedly made that point.

i know a lotta sysadmins around my age, in their 50s

they're choosing to retire rather than get a new job herding slop

let's say there's gonna be a *ton* of opportunities in sysadmin/devops in a couple of years, as it becomes harder to find people who know what the fuck they're doing

new from me today: not all data centers are created environmentally equal — and building them in states with cleaner grids and more access to water could go a long way in preventing environmental catastrophe
If the US Has to Build Data Centers, Here’s Where They Should Go
A new analysis tries to calculate the coming environmental footprint of AI in the US and finds that the ideal sites for data centers aren’t where they’re being built.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 96th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is NOT about the #shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the #EpsteinFiles #FuckTrump

Over the almost 40 days the government has been shut down, Trump:
