Dublin 15, Ireland. Nobody wants to read what I write once they’ve read what I’ve written. I assuredly will write it. I also post occasionally about coding, bird-feeding, photos of things, cycling, and drawing (once in a while).

I architect and develop web systems to move data for a very big non-commercial organisation. I'd love to make something that improves the world for everyone though. Maybe one day?

Long-time Mac user tries out Linux on a Framework Laptop (last time I used it was in 2000: SUSE Linux, installed from CDs):
– I’m happy with installation & UI (Ubuntu).
– There is now a lot of compatible software: VS Code, 1Password, Tresorit, etc.
– Control key for shortcuts doesn’t work well for me: The macOS Command key is better placed for one-hand shortcuts such as Ctrl-V.
– Clicking with the trackpad seems tricky: The cursor always moves a little before the click is registered.

Bicycle folk! I’m hoping for some help. I took a bike to the petrol station to use the air compressor. I had bought a valve that I was told would be an adapter between Presta and Schrader. I can’t get air into the tyre. I unscrewed the valve on the presta (and now the tyre is completely flat) but maybe my adapter is too short. @ash @stufromoz

I said a week or so ago, but for those who don’t wanna take my word for it: here is the former Israeli Prime Minister, the former head of Shin Bet and a former head of the IDF all saying that Netanyahu boosted Hamas to prevent a two-state solution https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4XlHb1stgC/?igsh=MXR3M3gycG40MG54dw==

Heads up to anyone using facebook or insta: you'll receive a notification about your data being used to train AIs. The opt out process is deliberately convoluted and you have to fill out a form to object. This is what I wrote in mine, and the objection was immediately registered as successful, so feel free to copy.

Masto reply bores, this is not a post on which to fart out your opinions about Meta or AI or whatever. So don't. I'm sharing helpful info for people who need it, not for you.

"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.

Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.

The system doesn't work for you.

Norma Foley (Ireland's Minister for Education) is talking about banning smartphones for primary school pupils. I wasn't keen on my kid getting a smartphone before 13, but... Isn't the Minister straying from her lane a bit here? What's really going on? https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-41400511.html

I asked Google "who ruined Google" and they replied honestly using their AI, which is now forced on all of us. It's too funny not to share!

Google hallucinates a product recall, including a date. But the date is when someone listed theirs for sale, and the “recall” is a memory recall feature

I know everyone hates AI and I get it, I really do. I'm not trying to diminish people's concerns. All I'm saying is I tried a month of Midjorney to see what all the fuss was about and I blew through my credits in two days generating pictures of people covered in spaghetti.

So perhaps this is a cautionary tale after all.

The ewes round our house are getting pretty tired of the lambs and the lambs are obviously very hungry, so for twenty hours a day from 4am to midnight it's constantly loud cries of BBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN everywhere, all day. Which is especially annoying when your name happens to be Ben.

🌟 Last week, an intriguing auction hit eBay — the badge of Apple Employee No. 10. There was just one small problem — it was a total forgery.

"The iPad Pro doesn’t need to run macOS, but the answer to why an iPad Pro can’t do something a Mac can do, shouldn’t be to carry two kinds of computers with the same M-series chips, with the same RAM, with the same storage, and do different things on each.”

Today is the anniversary of the MOVE bombing. The only thing that’s changed is police are far more militarized, far more funded, and far less accountable, while their supporters fly a desecrated flag to explicitly endorse their violent attacks.

Is it just me or does everyone who works from home spend a lot of time in the kitchen, either cooking or washing dishes and cleaning stuff up? Its become annoying.

Someone on tumblr asked why 3.5" floppy disks seem so much more friendly (or "pleasant and edible" to use their terminology) than 5.25" floppy disks, so I wrote about it:

TL;DR: It's because Sony.

Bower:

Justice Merchan starts off will the prosecution motion for contempt.

He tells Trump he's about to issue his ruling, in which he will again find Trump in contempt of court.

The last thing I want to do is put you in jail, Justice Merchan says to Trump. You are the former President of the United States and possibly the next President as well.

But "going forward," he continues, "this court will have to consider jail sanctions" if necessary.
