@angiebaby@mas.to @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place As we learned with WordPress no "benevolent" dictators, as you never know when they might let slip the dogs of war for no reason.

mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Matthew Brown is a geeky #writer from Kent (#UK). I #blog lots. I develop with #PHP for the fun of it (and professionally). I think I am funny - puns abound (you have been warned).
I am from the UK and the 1900s
I love a nerdy chat and encountering new points of view.
I love all things #TimeTravel. I'm into #WordPress #DnD, #UKPolitics 🔶, #humour, #writing, #photography and... Ah, for the rest you must follow me.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social @amateur_ninja@mastodon.online I tried being normal once. Dullest five minutes of my entire life.

@mattgemmell@mastodon.scot This is exactly why I have a laser printer. A Samsung, but it will sit there asleep for months and then happily print stuff double-sided when I ask before going back to sleep. I never have to wait for head cleaning, worry about dry ink, or other inkjet BS. In case of low toner, you can give the toner cart a shake and then set it back to work.
For those worried about #ChatControl please don't think about talking to the geeks about all the ways it is possible to flood the scanning systems with junk. When you hope to #StopChatControl in no way consider that it could become economically unviable using old school spam techniques.

@Amberrrrrrr@tech.lgbt @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Linus came out heavily in favour of AI and told people if they don't like it, they can fork or walk.

@NatalyaD Benches were essential to getting me back outside and walking again. Also walls. A good wall you can sit on is a real treat when you need a bench but can't find one.
I used to navigate routes by walls and benches so I could sit as needed.

@UnePorte This is my new favourate thing.
This is better than the times the council kept asking for the same information, so I squeezed it onto a single side of A4 in size 9px font, single-spaced, knowing they would scan it at a low resolution and store it at 50% size.
Today, for no reason, instead of struggling to keep my blood sugar down to an acceptable level, I'm struggling to keep it up to a safe level. My body is just doing its own thing today, I guess.

@bruce@darkmoon.social Maybe, although in my experience, managers tend to have very little understanding of how the technology actually works, but somehow are expected to make sound decisions about said technology.
This week on #FollowFriday I shall be recommending:
@Yourlocalbearman@mastodon.social (art/memes)

Give them a follow and tell I say "hi".
A while back, I created a character (and setting) specifically licensed so anyone can use them. The character is Colin Blaze a supernatural detective from London.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu This in itself is a good thing. Turning around and then forcing the exact same abuse via #ChatControl so you can gather the data is just as bad if not worse.

@openscience @andrewdessler If that data were a stock market chart, I'd take a long position on it. That it is climate change is scary.

@foone@digipres.club At this stage, midnight reboots should be listed as a bug, not a feature.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io My friend and I both agree that we have our best ideas while sitting on the toilet. We joked that we should open a lavoratory.

@glyph@mastodon.social NGL I sometimes let ChatGPT do a code review on hobby code because I make silly typing mistakes sometimes but I don't want AI writing my code - that's the fun part.
