Amazing that even on a quiet Friday morning, it's still quicker to #walk from #Bristol Temple Meads railway station to the top of Park Street than it is to take a number 1 or number 2 #bus. 🐢🐇 / 🚶🚌

Many Brits today are celebrating #IndependenceDay from the USA. It was always a troublesome colony.

If Crunchyroll keep using #ChatGPT for subtitles, parent company Sony is going to get very annoyed when the fansub groups rise again (not necessarily a bad thing).

Crunchyroll's lazy AI subtitles have anime fans furious

Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, one of Crunchyroll's new series, shows proof a translator used ChatGPT to write the subtitles.

@LillyHerself It's a shame they don't appear to support Mastodon though. Buffer.com does, and is widely used as an alternative to Orlo and Hootsuite (former University favourite).

It's a bit noisy, but our air-conditioning is out of action, so we don't have a choice. Don't ask how the server room is...

@snoozy The BBC needs to bring back its computer literacy courses. The number of younger adults who don’t know they should to put data into a table in Excel is shocking. 📊🧑‍💻

@snoozy At my rural school, we were taught the basics of a computers, including the internals (RAM, CPU, North and South bridges, IO, etc), OS components (the difference between a WIMP and a cursor), and how to use a spreadsheet program correctly. Our class was on the internet before the Web even existed.

I don’t think any of that is taught these days. Kids are just expected to know it intuitively.

With a homemade wood-fired pizza 🍕 and a couple of glasses of wine 🍷 in my tummy, I’ve finally recovered from working on #BrICSCTF. Great end to an exhausting week.
