Me in 1768: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive. Me in 2026: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive.

Idk about you but I’d be happy with more gay pornography on fedi

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Ryan was not The Impostor

Just witnessed an age verification industry person suggest that age gates might be used for encyclopaedias. These people are unhinged, lol.

what's the middle dude supposed to be? do police ride supersports bikes in some countries?

"I'll need your Wi-Fi password to put it on the Wi-Fi" *points at conveniently located double Ethernet faceplate directly above the installation location* "Shouldn't be a need for that" (Blank looks) "Still need Wi-Fi." (Folf, having danced this dance many times before) "Ok boss. You got it." (Mental note to connect it to Ethernet myself later)

@lowtech@tldr.nettime.org dogs aren’t eligible

The beautiful thing about the fediverse is that the @admin@burnout.cafe is more than welcome to run their server however they want to run it. If they want to pretend it's the 1850s and curate a community where there is no - quote: content or communication that can be qualified as essentially sexually oriented or intentionally appealing to prurient interest; then that's absolutely fine. Good luck to them. They have federation controls and moderation tools to enforce their position. If that were quietly in their rules without any further fanfare, I very much doubt whether anybody would have taken umbrage with their position. This petulant @ing admins of other servers with preachy messages is pathetic though. Those admins also have their own freedom and agency on the running of their own servers. Knock it off, really.

I really am a supporter of free speech and free expression, but

imagine having such a low opinion of the people you're presenting to that you literally tell them you're going to invent a new product ("ASI") that produces infinite value somehow. No explanation as to how it'll work, how you're going to make it, just a statement.

Thinkin' about yeens again. This happens a lot. Should I have made a yeensona?

@thenexusofprivacy@gotosocial.thenexus.today agreed, it's certainly worded with a "how can we push for even more draconian measures?" tone. I've been saying from the start of this: we need to hammer the point that MPs care about - economy. Ways in which this is hurting the British economy. Holding back movement of information, ideas and curtailing the development of products that can replace the problematic US-owned systems. Get rid of it, and watch innovation flourish. Yes, I know that's a very libertarian anti-regulation talking point, but honestly I think we need to start playing the game a little bit differently if we're going to win this argument. They do not give a shit about privacy. They do not give a shit about freedom of expression. That much is abundantly clear. Let's pull some strings they do care about.

@ensoyote@furry.engineer 1776 was the first commercial use I think. I just picked the first prime minister term start I remembered lol

Thinking about ways I can improve this… some conduit would be a start.

So expert you can’t use Google Translate or literally any free translation capable email client in 2026. Malignant malware, Jesus Christ this guy is onto some serious shit.

The first album I ever owned was Dirt by Alice in Chains. Mum (reluctantly) bought it on early-days Amazon for me. It might also have been the first thing mum bought online too. The first album I ever listened to was a cassette of Human Racing by Nik Kershaw that I found in my dad’s old room at my grandparents’ home.

(firm believer that you get a better quality finish if you pay the biscuit tax)

Aaaaaand he didn’t bring the thing he’s actually supposed to be installing lmao

Talk to me, Goose.

And he is one of those people who appears to have absolutely zero interest in anything that he's doing or any charm whatsoever. I don't think Jaffa Cakes would have saved this one.

Genuinely concerned this guy isn't qualified to be fucking about with electrics...

@aphyr@woof.group bold of him to assume that he’ll still be PM in 3 months

@danny@social.sutcliffe.xyz maybe they’re hoping you can live in the terminal to keep costs down

@IceWolf@masto.brightfur.net I also find the matrix behaviour often makes links out of things that are not even domains anyway. Especially with common word TLDs like at and to

Browsing my box of diodes to find a replacement for the 5408 that died, I found this relic. Is that a diode made… by the BBC?! #electronics

@WooShell@chaosfurs.social @stuartl@mastodon.longlandclan.id.au annoyingly they're not registering as spammy enough. rspamd is adding X-Spam-Status: No, score=11.4 for them. My threshold is 15 at the moment. I may have to drop it down to 10.

@stuartl@mastodon.longlandclan.id.au nothing as audacious as that but I have had absolutely shitloads of these exact type of message lately.

Hopefully @openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org will be submitting evidence? @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org #OnlineSafetyAct

@fesshole@mastodon.social AI aside, christ that must be a depressing job.

Dark times… £25k for C++ in London lol

@sequentialsnep@meow.social looks good, is that STM okay without decoupling (or are there parts on the back maybe)?

@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org I said at the time it was announced - I cannot understand how this can't be an Article 10 violation.

@abbiistabbii@blahaj.zone does this also mean the end of anonymous viewing on YouTube? Logins mandatory? (Feels like that has been coming for a while anyway but still)

@uvok@woof.tech https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/12594679474071-Standalone-Access-Points-without-UniFi ?

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz what’s the point in these though? Cui bono?

@mkj@social.mkj.earth @jcrabapple@dmv.community first guess would be push notification device ID?

What have Mozilla done now, exactly?

@foone@digipres.club gnutella mentioned! It was so good. One of my first experiences of network programming, dad bought me a book about it (can’t remember which) - found it fascinating… good times… better times, arguably

@WooShell@chaosfurs.social cool, thank you! I googled the part and saw "ABB" but I assumed it was an unrelated product. Great info!

@Crell@phpc.social https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-ai-apocalypse-is-already-here/

@fj@mastodon.social that’s one funky looking football pitch

Who remembers Zend Studio for Eclipse? #php

@iso7010@hacksrus.xyz upside-down, this would work as "radiotelescope" too.
