I just use the I Don’t Care About Cookies addon.

I don’t know if it’s just agreeing or disagreeing, but I suspect they’re all selling your data regardless of what you pick.

Oh look, when you brainwash an entire generation into thinking a rival group are subhuman and not worthy of life, they’ll think nothing of posting their war crimes online because they don’t see themselves as doing anything wrong.

I mean it is from 1951. I’ve seen a lot worse by people who meant it.

It’s 4 years before Emmett Till was murdered for example.

Jellyfin Lifetime Pass continues to be better value.

That’s because they do.

Well, good news!

You’ll certainly have a lot of blackberries if you plant them.

The bushes down near the river by me are about 20 feet thick and 8 feet high. The only other thing growing near them are nettles. It’s a genuinely fearsome plant.

Two things have lead to that first picture though.

1. We’ve been underpaying farmers for a long time. Everyone buys from supermarkets, and supermarkets will pay farmers a meagre amount for produce. Cheap imports are further hammering the farmer. Hard to compete in northern Europe with slavery conditions in southern Spain.

2. We’ve been overpaying for solar too. Locking it to the rate of fossil fuel energy means it’s well worth covering a field in solar panels and reaping the rewards.

Both of these should change, but since nobody has any money, it’s a hard sell to make people want to pay more for farm produce, especially when you don’t know who is soaking that extra money up. Capitalism says it’s going to be the supermarket owners taking the lion’s share.

Look, I just want historical accuracy in my movie about sea monsters and cyclopses!

As we all know, despite part of the story taking place in Africa, there were no black people in ancient Greece!

And physically.

Hardest that I’ve beaten were Sigrun from God of War, and King Hrólf Kraki from GoW: Ragnarok.

Bosses that made the entire game up to that point feel like a tutorial.

The hype actually feels like some of the vintage marketing for BASIC.

“So simple, your boss can do it!”

It’s probably been like this every time we go “up” a level of abstraction. We’re still needed because complicated shit will always be complicated, and people who make decisions will always need an underling to blame.

You speak for yourself, I’m flying through this killer sudoku book…

Yeah, fully agree with all that.

I’ve got some godawful spaghetti code I don’t understand fully, and it’s pretty good at deciphering that and the bizarre labyrinth of code paths leading around it. But it’s absolutely no guarantee of working code, and in any project larger than a simple crud app, you are going to still need programmers who know about things like memory and databases.

It often needs pointing at a solution you want, because as you pointed out, it’s fond of dumb band-aids. Like yesterday when it was trying to hook into mouse wheel events and create separate threads, when all it needed was an event on the dataset I was using to load a sub-dataset.

Maybe we should fork an Enshittyfin and add these vital features.

I just don’t like the name.

Sir, this is 2026.

You’re not even allowed to ride your own in the UK. At least not in public areas.

So make sure to just smash up all the abandoned ones littering the streets.

I’ve got to be honest, the occasional glitch in Firefox Android is more than worth the price of not seeing the ads and consent banners that Chrome would have forced me to look at.

A bunch of the Labour top team are in the “Labour Friends of Israel” group. Starmer is in it, Streeting is in it. As is anybody else with a chance, because anyone else is in the “antisemite” group, and not allowed to do anything.

Don’t expect this to change. Farage or the Tories wouldn’t change it either.

Us and the septics set Israel up. It’s our little project, and we can’t do much apart from voting Green (who are now also smeared as antisemites and run by fundamentalist Muslims, despite being run by a gay Jew). Even then the US would prop them up forever. As long as oil is a thing, they need Israel to project power on the Middle East.

Not to worry, I’ve heard everyone is doing their own research these days.

We’ll just blissfully ignore that the “research” is them asking a batshit doomsday cult on US social media. Or worse, the US government.
