I’m keeping hold of my pixel with GrapheneOS while also keeping an eye on the new Jolla Linux phone. If that achieves even a half way decent experience, that’ll be my next phone. Android is too much work to keep control of your own data.

Being anti Israel is not the same as being antisemitic, it’s being anti-zionist.

Unfortunately BT’s systems are a hodge podge of different systems written and built over the last 40+ years, in various states of development from brand new, bleeding edge, to abandoned, running on an excel spreadsheet. To say the overall system was “designed” is to misunderstand the size and complexity of BT and its legacy systems. The fact that it works at all is a miracle borne out of the sweat and talent of great engineers hampered by busybody managers.

It’s not about subliminal messaging, it’s more the Illusory Truth effect, where a lie or misinformation is repeated enough that it is believed. Some people are more resistant to this thanks to critical thinking skills, but none of us are immune to it.

I’ll say it again, because I think the idea is a practical solution to the issue: electricity and water usage should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive it becomes.

This would actually incentivise companies to reduce their usage, to question if they actually need that new AI data centre that will eat up all the gains in renewable electricity production and require fossil fuel plants to continue running, it’ll reduce the crypto miners as well, and encourage everyone to try to reduce their usage.

The knock on effect of this is that electricity actually becomes cheaper for everyone.

Nah, he’ll be put in charge of women’s health and reproductive rights.

I was just walking to work one day, when I got heckled in the street by some random guy singing at me:

“Earthworm Jim, you’re so much fun to play. Earthworm Jim, you’re tall, you’re thin, you’re gay!”

I’ve never been more seen.

We have Andrew Christian, Aussiebum, Box, and oh so many more brands. But the main difference is comfort and style.

Need a bigger pouch? We have you covered. Do you get a little clammy down there? Try separate pouches for the bells and whistle. Want to show off? We have the push up bra of underwear. Do you like to walk around the house in your underwear but you have nowhere to put your phone? We have hipster shorts with pockets!

Gay underwear is just superior to the smalls most straight guys wear. They’re also more colourful and attractive. Why should women be the only ones wearing nice undergarments?

I think a capsule, permanently drifting through space, frozen, with a plaque on the side saying “this is a warning to everyone” sends a much clearer message.

And Smart Tube Next for Android TV devices.

• UHD: 18%

Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.

Mastadon has definitely improved it’s user onboarding process. When I first tried, and failed, to use it 3 years ago it was awful. Signing up a year ago was a painless process. It may not be fully ready for the mainstream just yet, but it’s definitely getting there.

Because video creation can be a better source of revenue for creators than a blog post and some people still like to get paid for their expertise?

Soul Reaver seriously needs a reboot. Soul Reaver kept getting mentioned a while back when Square Enix sold off Cristal Dynamics to pay for NFT scams, but no mutterings of a reboot/remake.
