'Universities will be lucky to avoid being “completely hit over the head” in the UK government’s upcoming spending review as ministers look set to prioritise plans for growth – which could eat into core research funding – and save higher education reform for a later date.' 1/3
Universities face ‘tough’ spending review after brutal few months
Potential reprioritisation of parts of research budget could heap pressure on institutions already counting cost of immigration and tax changes

You know that old comic about stores where a customer asks if they can look for a product in the back and the employee just walks through the door, stands for a bit, then comes back to say ‘nope didn’t see it’ ?
That’s me when a IT person asks if EDR blocked something they were doing.

Honestly that’s what I want. It’s exhausting keeping up or being hit over the head with the latest inevitable milkshake duck each week.
I think a bunch of people dooming about bluesky's "collapse" is that their idea for this platform is to be some kind of cultural driver in the way Twitter was. Arab springs, maidans, and other movements are born here.
But what if it's none of that and that's fine?

Also they don’t actually own it, ATT or TMobile owns it until they pay it off.
Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

You can’t play 40K by yourself.
Ok you can but it’s awful trust me.

I think it’s not an accident the board game industry, and the players, are like 2 standard deviations more friendly than people in other fields.
Tabletop games are super pro-social, and given the state of the world, that’s becoming less a luxury than a necessity.

Look I get this is terrible from a ‘what is truth’ perspective but it is incredible as a set of thought experiments or writing prompts.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says identity of murderer is obscure, unknown. Doctor says, Treatment is simple. Great detective Columbo is in town. Go and see him. He should solve it. Man thanks Doctor, turns to go, walks to the exit. At the door he turns, says: Oh, one more thing ...
