BlueSky and Threads both have keyword blocking and it's really helped me. Every time some new bullshit blows up and every nob can't resists posting about it 100 times a day, just block the name of the relevant politician/topic/dickhead and peace will reign once more.

Microsoft has said that systems installed that way may stop being able to get updates at some point. Which deterred me from doing it. I've seen a fair few people saying it's not a big deal if you don't get updates, perhaps they don't realise that it means security updates as well as feature updates.

Oh yes, I realise Hitchhiker's wasn't actually CG, but it was intended to look like it, and I loved the style.

Colloquially, maybe, but in mathematical terms, there is no infinite quantity there. If I have one coconut I don't have infinitely more than someone who has none.

Also worth noting that Harry Shearer, voice of Mr Burns, plays the bass player. I assume people know who Mr Burns is? No? Homer Simpson then, You've heard of him right? No? Baby shark? Is that your level?

What seems to be happening is that people who are at risk of spiralling into mental illness turn to ChatGPT, and it kicks them into the abyss.

If hard work was a guarantee of enormous wealth nearly everyone would be on the rich list. But it isn't. That kind of wealth is 100% luck.

I didn't find his sitcom funny in the slightest. Just could not relate to it in any way. To be honest I've never seen a live action US sitcom that was funny. Their animated comedies, on the other hand, are pretty good.

Yeah that line about there being water at the bottom of the ocean really hits hard, especially when he says, "water revolving and water removing". I know we can all relate to that.

As I understand it, the U2 album was auto-downloaded. Steam doesn't download anything you didn't tell it to. I vaguely remember it might sometimes add games to your games list temporarily when there's a free weekend or something. But I only ever see what's in my Favourites so I wouldn't notice.

I love listening to football phone-ins even though I dont really care about football. And I do like talking to my colleagues about it. They know I'm clueless but it gives me an opportunity to wind them up by claiming the result is basically random or mostly determined by wind direction.
