I'm here for good vibes and new and interesting perspectives on business and technology, especially with security themes.

### Profile image ChatGPT 4o prompt

Please draw a line drawing of an embodied but hollow business suit with no head lying relaxed atop a giant single puffed grain of rice. Use only a black pen in white background, no shading. There must be a horizon line near the top of the image for perspective but no other objects.

### Profile background ChatGPT 4o prompt

Please show an extra wide ratio landscape of pure dusty sand with the horizon out of the shot so the image is all sand, no sky. Do it in an abstract jarring style with sharp angles and make the image grainy, and block shapes representing dunes and rocks.

Somehow, I missed this, but the British Medical Association objected to the NHS giving Palantir a £330m deal to create a unified platform for all data.

Founder Peter Thiel said the British public’s affection for the NHS is a case of “Stockholm syndrome.”

A programming fact that still amazes me is that the HTTP header which containers the referring url is called "referer", because the developer spelt "referrer" wrong and the spell checker didn't catch it, so it made it into the official standards and they just never changed it lmao

Does anyone use Bluetooth for sending and receiving mobile messages? If so, what app do you use?
Bridgefy, Briar, others ...

This is purely out of curiosity, and extra coverage in case of internet shortages. I already have and use conventional message sending methods. :)

Nerdy about browsers? https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/08/firefox_isnt_dead/

@plwt this appears to be close to home for you

#FFX #Firefox #browser #Mozilla #FOSS

Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

Opinion: Mozilla's management is a bug, not a feature

I've changed my mind about AI. I now believe it will be able to replace programmers. I asked Grok a question and it responded by forgetting how to use its own API, spending 3 minutes trying to read the documentation in-between failed attempts at getting it to work, then just gave up entirely. It's just like me fr.

#3GoodThings #Today

1. Had the freedom and ability to just check out today. I did barely anything and that's what I needed.

2. Made great progress on my Mave skirt, even if I had to undo a bunch of it.

3. Quiet evening sitting in the backyard talking with my partner, cuddling with Dexter, and watching birds.

Somebody brought up roundabouts and this is the fun bit where I get to introduce ppl to Magic Roundabouts.

Extra points if you pull it off when there's snow and/or ice on the road.
