@addressforbots @Gieljan Worse than that: it was a coronavirus that gave everybody a really bad cold once a year, knocking 10-20 IQ points off them for a month via brain fog, thereby blunting the "too much thinking/computing" problem bringing about CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN. So, yeah, that aged really well …!

Pleased to say that my UK ISP have taken the Open Rights Group out from behind their "adult content" block. It comes after me asking why they were blocking it and them repeatedly denying that they were. I wonder if I can get them to take any part of archive.org from behind the "adult content" block.

England's data watchdog warns national health service it needs to show Palantir does not have unfair advantage in procurement. Reminder: that's 40+ million patients' data, if they don't opt out. More from @datadictum on The Reg here https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/29/nhs_fdp_palantir_lockin/

Welp, I just took my twitter account private and will no longer be posting there except for a monthly "don't delete me, bro" check-in. We'll see how long it lasts. Meanwhile I'm over here and same name at Bluesky. (@cstross).

It could be worse; you could be on call for the UK air traffic control.

In 2017 a man, after some thought, had a simple but genius idea and took a camera on a Southwest flight from Portland, Oregon to St. Louise and captured one of the most breathtaking images of all time.

Jon Carmichael's "108" is probably my favorite #eclipse image and provokes introspection every time I see it.

The Expanse - A Telltale Series (2023): The Artemis

Lead Environment Artist Tommy Spampinato: "I had the task of taking the Artemis ship from a little more than a prototype to a final asset. Some new details I made but most was kit bashed from assets that the [Deck Nine Games] team made."

The third episode is now available.

Two years have flown since I unleashed my cyberpunk anthem, "AKIRA" 🎶

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

I'm starting to follow quite a few ppl who main tooting-language isn't English, on the basis that @Tusky will bring the translation function into their app soon. *fingers crossed*

@ProjectFearlessness plus the Indian government managed to put a lander on the most inaccessible part of the moon for less than that stupid barge cost. We’re deliberately spaffing money up the wall just for the sake of cruelty, rather than fixing our broken asylum system.

@mhoye My first take: Why does it have to be processed in the cloud? But I'm late to the party...
