Fair warning, the first #Eurovision semi final is about to start, and I will be posting. Mute that tag if needs be.

🍿🎤
Eurovision starts today.

For US folks, you can watch live on Peacock, if you subscribe.

EU / UK folks, this still a big deal? Worth watching?

Democracy has happened.

Though Rico, the little tart, was happily accepting scritches from the lady in the blue rosette when I emerged, having done my civic duty.

I did remind him to #neverTrustATory as we walked off but I don't think he was listening. 😆

#UK folks - time to get out and #vote. I didn't trudge around my neighbourhood last night in the bastard rain, delivering leaflets so you could let some Tory arsehole squeak a win.

There is also a real possibility that if the bastards get a proper thumping they'll call a general. So for once, every vote really might count.

and don't forget your #PhotoID

• try to make law enf officers immune from prosec

If this doesn’t scare the living shit out of you, you aren’t paying attention.

I was waiting for this one. Netflix kills the legacy Basic plan and gives you to pick between a shitty ‘with ads’ plan (crowing that you’ll save 35%) or nudging you towards the more expensive Standard.

Fortunately, the child (our only Netflix viewer) has just started watching a lot of iPlayer and for the first time doesn’t care about the propect of losing Netflix. So we will be switching to the ‘no plan’.

🤦🏻‍♀️ “NY’s highest court on Thur overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges, a stunning reversal in the foundational case of the #MeToo era.

In 4-3 decision, NY Court of Appeals found trial judge who presided over Weinstein’s case made a crucial mistake, allowing prosecutors to call as witnesses a series of women who said Mr. Weinstein had assaulted them — but whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.”

Microsoft is refusing to let me update an older (Thinkpad T460) laptop to the most recent version of Windows 10 (it won't run Windows 11 at all, which is fine since I don't want to use it).

Install/upgrade fails every time with obscure error codes that defy troubleshooting.

Next step: Ubuntu 22.04, which is the most recent version of that Linux flavor and works great on older hardware.

Note: I've been running Linux as my primary OS for more than a decade...

Update, found a workaround.

Here typestting a whitepaper about #AI for a client which contains the quote:

“The future belongs to those who embrace AI and use it to their advantage.”

There is no critical evaluation of this whatsoever. It's from Jensen Huang, Founder & CEO of Nvidia.

Can't think why he'd say somethign like this. Not like he's got any skin the game at all.

It's a cult.

Now that I have a job and a start date, I'm able to end my Job Seekers Allowance claim.

Oh my word, these people are not prepared for people to actually get a job. At my initial interview they went into great detail about how I'd be penalised for not seeking work. When she asked if I had questions I said yes, what do I do when I find work? It wasn't something they felt they needed to cover.

I went in today and it was like I was from another planet.

🤢Oh geez. Sorry for TMI, but Meiselas is reporting this:

Meiselas: What I’m hearing from credible sources is that Donald #Trump is actually farting in the courtroom… I’m hearing it from actual credible people that as he’s kind of falling asleep, he’s actually passing gas and that his lawyers are really struggling with the smell. #TrumpTrial
