Tommy Robinson supporters shouting 'English till I die!' whilst trying to storm the cenotaph at 11.00 am on 11th November. Of course.

Meanwhile the press breathlessly pontificate about the 'danger' of the entirely peaceful cease-fire protest.

This country is a fucking sewer.

Not a new post, but as I'm seeing the topic a lot lately - here's a demo of a web component that wraps an existing table to add sorting - light DOM ftw I suppose? :)

New blog entry: We're sorry we created the Torment Nexus! (Text of a keynote talk from Next Frontiers Applied Fiction Day, Stuttgart):

@timnitGebru Personally I blame SF writers (like me) for uncritically writing fiction popularizing the idea in the 90s/00s.

(I just did a keynote speech about it in Germany, you got a name-check:

Does anyone else operate a list-unsubscribe-post end point ?

Do you see random requests with the correct format for what you sent out, but the text and numeric sections replaced with random of same length ?

Moving from petrol cars to electric cars is not the answer

@askonomm@mastodon.social it's almost like depending on Microsoft is a bad idea....

JFC You can't upgrade Drupal 9 (eol) to 10 without composer, and you can't use composer without github because you need some weird API token. What fucked up shit is this ?

, I need your help:

I'm trying to find **a _very comprehensive_ web page that I saw this summer about and copyright notices in software** (perhaps specifically in ). It seemed to be maintained by someone with a strong legal background, had lots of sections and subsections, and was intended for techies to help them understand all the ramifications and options they have.

Does that ring a bell?

Thanks!

(Perhaps I got there via some post by @neil?)

Can solar and wind power Britain? An update of David MacKay’s numbers (from 2008): sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/

TLDR: in 2008 MacKay’s calculations suggested renewables wouldn't suffice. But in the past decade the price of PV cells has dropped 90% and wind turbines 70%, while public opposition has faded. New calculations suggest the UK could run mainly on renewables by 2050.

I close so many websites within seconds these days.

Look at this one. To read one (probably) crappy article there would be 322 organisations keeping track.

Three hundred and twenty-two.

Nah, I'm good thanks.

I watched a video on how to install a specific toilet gasket and YouTube recommended I install the YouTube Kids app.

Good idea, make some kids do plumbing instead of us adults! They've got little hands, I'm sure it'll help them reach all the little parts.

@nixCraft Always write code as if the next person that will read it is a dangerous psychopath that knows your address.

This dangerous psychopath could be you in a few months...
