You never know, it might prompt us to realise that we are all on the same planet, in the vast emptiness of space, with no planet B within travelling range. It might make us stop our petty squabbling and work together to protect our home.

Lol. Nah.

Yeah, I was careful to say “more difficult”. This stops casual phishing.

Not as stupid as the headline makes it sound. Signal is used in phishing attacks, whereas the home grown one is restricted to authorised users, making it more difficult.

In a world where psychopathic mega corporations are openly looking for ways to enslave humanity and bring about the end of the planet, the weird tantrums of an obviously mentally spicy web site owner just seem cute.

Boredom. If I get bored enough I’ll have a look at the old cess pool.

It’s pushing this user to not use them any more.

There are plenty of stupid ideas being pushed everywhere. In general, the EU has better checks and balances to weed out the awful ones. Not always obviously, but no system is perfect.

Trying to solve social problems with technology always works.

Don’t forget small government.

“for those that want it” does offer some hope that it’s not going to go to shit.

I have forked Floof and integrated it with Qak on a b0rf backend. It’s called √πy (pronounced âèk)

They are already sucking at Microslop’s AI-encrusted teat. It’s a major UK university, and there used to be a mix of systems, with a lot of really good functional software written in-house. Over the past decade, as they have been retired, they were replaced with MS-based turd-rolled-in-glitter ecosystems that drive me up the wall. The old stuff wasn’t pretty, but it worked and did all you needed and no more. It now feels like some sort of Rube Goldberg machine with fireworks.

I have to use Jira at work. It’s fucking awful.

This is impressive technology which has the potential to benefit humans by having things like robot firemen who just walk into flaming buildings and rescue people.

But who am I kidding? Tech companies will just it to cut jobs in order to enrich themselves and make everyone else poorer.

We have to get lucky every time. They only have to get lucky once.

Google’s “don’t be evil” was like a warrant canary. It didn’t need to be precise, it just needed to be there.
