Any minute now, my colleague is going to walk past and ask if I have a migraine.

I'll tell her no, I'm fine; and she'll point out that I'm wearing my coat indoors, I've closed the blinds and I've taken the battery out of the wall clock to stop it ticking.

The worst kind of clickbait - something extraordinarily funny that turns out to be a metaphor ☹️

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles after ‘discussion with the King’

The latest development in the long-running controversy comes just days before the publication of a memoir by Andrew’s late alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre, to whom he paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case

The i Paper

This bit of the story is fedi-exclusive content. I haven't told this bit of the story before.

An anarchist mate informed me that [redacted libel law firm] absolutely loves a no-win-no-fee battle with the Mail. I lawyered up, they took it down, and I received a few hundred quid in compensation. I donated it to grassroots trans health organisations.

(If you're ever getting libelled by the Mail, DM me and I'll tell you the firm, I doubt they like it publicly advertised that they do this)

How to tell your OSS is ridiculously popular: people aren't 100% sure they _didn't_ embed it, and tack on the software equivalent of "packaged in a facility where peanuts were also present" to the license list.

This watch contains software, so statistically probably contains at least traces of curl.

'copilot' is a very funny name for an AI because imagine you were trying to fly an airplane and the pilot next to you was pressing the wrong controls 20% of the time and was saying things like "planes don't actually need wheels to land"

Just seen the video of Liz Truss, obligingly wearing a green dress, talking about how she wants Trump to win the US election because she thinks he's great on the economy, oblivious to the Led by Donkeys banner descending behind her, adorned with a lettuce with googly eyes and the words "I crashed the economy"

"That's not funny", says Liz, as she walks off the stage in a huff.

Dear me, she's been extremely wrong about a lot of things, and this is DEFINITELY one of them.

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Edit 2024: They went IPO.
