A lorry full of Worcestershire sauce crashed into a Lamborghini Murcielago in Loughborough today. The driver, originally from Saskatchewan, was thankfully unharmed. A local Ophthalmologist, Tarquin Cholmondeley Fetherstone-Hall, informed the emergency services using his Xiaomi smartphone.

A police spokesperson told local news that "It is very difficult to say what happened"

2026/2027 is going to be the year of the GNU / #Linux #desktop! How far are you in your Linux journey? What's your daily OS of choice?
(If you're forced to use Windows at work, I don't consider that a daily driver of choice)

Many people seem to have forgotten, but #app is simply short for #application. And an application is a bit of software that can run on a #Turing complete bit of hardware.

#Powershop has released their new "labs" application. This broke my old CSV import from Powershop into #HomeAssistant. And I couldn't let that go on for too long! So I built a new importer for Home Assistant.

Alright, new #Powershop app. Time to start dissecting this thing. So far, 3 things are clear:
- It looks.... vibe-coded? Is that a thing?
- It's GraphQL
- It's JWT
- It makes no attempt at hiding what its doing
