British people: be sure to make the approved Charles III coronation sign to everyone you meet this week. It's three fingers pointed up, backhanded, accompanied by a slight upward-thrusting motion

@gregeganSF Just realized he's the first III since the mad one we (the US) rebelled against and won.

I visited a #FoodBank yesterday (as part of a Report for Work, not thankfully as a client)

It was decorated with Charles III images and bunting.

Nothing says Britain 2023 than a Food Bank celebrating a Billionaire with a Gold Hat that we're all paying for.

I wonder how many people realize that the principal source of the exploits behind ransomware and trojans that to this day are costing us uncounted billions was a generation of programmers who whose entire career consisted of copying and pasting MSDN code without understanding it.

@mxtiffanyleigh If you read it for for its reporting rather than simply to make fun of it, then you don't really have an ethical stand for not paying for it.

@Sundae_Gurl ActualLOL. We're slowly going full-on vegan, but even if you don't blather about it to others (and we fucking don't) you end up talking about it amongst yourselves because meal planning is a bitch and dining out unbelievably constrained.

@sollat @baba_lilith I spoke too soon. Was hanging out a hammock and spotted it. It's back, hurrah

The one under our cherry tree hasn't come back for the first time in 10 years. But another one has turned into twins so the balance is maintained.

@ct_bergstrom How much do you suppose Bezos or Thiel or whoever is going to pay for it once it's got a user base?

Anyone else not had a real haircut since the beginning of 2020? On the plus side I've become fairly adept with the Wahl trimmer.

@EugeneMcParland The internet's not blocked in Russia. Presumably only tankies are buying this and there was never any hope for them anyway.

Another Brexit benefit! New jokes can be created by recycling old Soviet jokes. For example:

A man walks into a shop. He asks the clerk, “You don’t have any meat?” The clerk says, “No, here we don’t have any fish. The shop that doesn’t have any meat is across the street.”

Sorry I didn't provide a trigger warning for you. Nurse will come soon with some soup.

Just searching for about the trillionth time for self-hosted notes, and various permutations on that idea. It clicked this time. I like it a lot. Combined with WebDAV (or Node.js if you're really serious) it's a pretty nice tool.

5) Maybe we were presumptuous to suppose we're intelligent ourselves and that what we imagine to be intelligence is in its own way as shabby a trick as LLMs?
