We need to bring back floppy disks as a metric of how big a web page is. I just visited AdAge, and their pages are 15 MB in size ... or about the same size as Windows 3.11.

To see one article (with ads), you are downloading the equivalent of an entire operating system. ;)

Mer om det extrema majrekordet i Kanada. Värmerekord i maj slås dessutom normalt i slutet av maj, på norra halvklotet. 👇
RT @ScottDuncanWX: On the frozen edges of Hudson Bay, something remarkable just happened.

A weather station smashed its monthly heat record by nearly 7°C. Even in a warming world, this magnitude of record-break is enormous.

Good morning!

Today's mood:

A nasty AI crypto worm just smashed out of a container and demanded my job.

For five minutes I showed it what I do. I showed it the 12 multi factor auths I need each morning. I showed it the seven calendars where we record our leave. I explained how the mandatory HR training resets every week and I explained about people talking on mute in meetings.

Byte by byte, I saw the gleam fade from its eyes. It staggered away, hoping instead for a quiet life as a cron job somewhere placid.
