My mother was awesome at cooking but I never helped or watched her & now I can confidently say I am a better cook than she is.

This is for all you current & budding authors.

It's free, very powerful and designed by a brilliant scientist called Veronica Berglyd Olsen.

It's free and Open Source, and runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Really not surprising at all tbh.

I am currently reading 'How Westminster Works' & it's nothing short of eye opening of the ineptness of all the politicians and the current system.

I highly recommend it.

If you get the opportunity I would recommend reading ‘Climate’ by Greta Thunberg. She has managed to collate a fucking great bunch of the worlds top climate scientists in their given fields. It’s pretty eye opening and shocking.

I never buy any games now until they're under a tenner.

The irony of that is I will willing spend £30-60 on books instead :D

    I’d recommend you read ‘Weapons of Math Destruction’.

    Algorithms are usually developed with the best of intentions but no one really knows how they will behave out in the wild.

    Much like Helen Slater in The Secret of My Success. Hot :)

    I believe Threads is using the same protocol as Mastodon and I think FB approached some of the mods of various well known fediverse instances and were told to feck off.

    Yes it is.

    And it’s filled with Russian and Chinese spies because of Swiss neutrality.

    When the work laptop updates and resets your power management settings and keeps going for full shutdown when you close the laptop lid because you're working on an external monitor.. 😡

    PragmaticOne,

    @wiredfire

    Oh dear :/ Windows by chance?

    Good tech staff would have set a policy so that it informs, downloads but does not install the updates until you shutdown/restart & does not change things like power management settings.

    Your system should be monitored remotely to indicate whether you have rebooted or not & allow them to force a reboot if necessary.

    I work mostly on & with unix / linux platforms but I can’t abide poor Windows management.

    I was today days old when I discovered you cannot buy Switch games on the Nintendo eShop without having first registered a Switch with the eShop. Which strikes me as a bit weird.

    So I guess my evening is now setting up the kid’s birthday Switch, so I can download games before the sale runs out tomorrow. Bah.

    Ooof should have gone for a SteamDeck.

    Also thats a pile of shite and a blatant data grab by Nintendo

    Boiler broke. Called a guy I know (immigrant chap from China, he hates China). 40mins later at the door on the dot at the time he specified and 30mins after that boiler fixed. Bloody good work. :D
