On 8 December, politicians in the UK will be debating a petition that reached almost 3 million signatories rejecting mandatory digital ID. If you’re based in the UK, contact your MP through Big Brother Watch’s tool to oppose the plans for a digital ID system. bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/campaigns/n...

I've seen this story doing the rounds and it's usually presented as a cautionary tale about vibe coding. However...

Am I the only one who thinks labelling 1920-something x 1080 video as "1080p" is old fashioned? Is anyone creating new interlaced content? Isn't progressive the default? Example image for reference, with 720p too. Especially when it's not 4:3 aspect.

Guy added what is effectively an emoji to his message and it cost him $8. I'm trying to think how he could have differently conveyed the sentiment in less than 700MB of text or photo images... www.tomshardware.com/video-games/...

Following my last post, another topic I wanted to bring up is large road vehicles that have signs on the back saying "cyclists don't come near me because I can't see you, I will run you over and kill you". It's 2025, we have modern cameras and computer vision and we can solve this too.

I know this is shouting into the void; but we're told that black plastic cannot be recycled because cameras detecting plastic on a conveyor belt cannot see it. It's 2025, we have better camera sensors, lighting, better computer vision algorithms... it could be done, if the will was there. Shame.

Apple have re-invented GUIs with opacity and radiused corners. I hope they keep accessibility and the animation effects don't cost battery life.

I find myself in the position of again needing to resize my root partition on my daily use computer, even though I have already moved home, docker images and conda environments elsewhere. 64GB is not enough? How much do you need these days?

I just found Btop++, a resource monitor, and installed it. I like it! github.com/aristocratos...
