Far too analogue to fit in any of your binaries.

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.
Sadly, I have been taken off the electoral roll and cannot vote in this election because I have lived outside of the uk for more than five years.
However, if you CAN vote, please do. Also, please check to see what type of identification you are going to need to vote, because they've gotten tricky about it.
Don't let the bastards make you feel like it's not worth bothering. It is.
Have you got reason to believe all politics is bollocks, and there is no party that represents all of your aspirations?
Then please vote to punish the motherfuckers who've been in power for 13 years and presided over the poisoning of your water, the decimation of your healthcare system, Brexit, the deaths in care homes, and the corruption.
If you don't punish these fuckers by ousting them after all this shit, you teach EVERY politician that there are no consequences to their perfidy.
These shits are DEPENDING on your apathy. They're depending on you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, alienated. They are itching to make you vote for a party that cannot possibly take power by ratcheting up your disagreement with some of the opposition's policies. They're going to find every wound that divides us and pour salt in those wounds.
Please... do not let them do this.
Make these bastards pay of all the misery they've inflicted on the UK, while they and their friends grew rich.
I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.
Although it's intensely demoralising that Patreon applies their updated rules retroactively, I have to admit that when it comes to the latest censored story... they do have me bang to rights. This one is FAR too hot to be something I can use to pay my gas bill. #NSFWhttps://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/gang-banged-on-the-tube/
I usually follow anyone back and it's very rare that I intentionally unfollow a mutual, but I just unfollowed someone whose account I realized is primarily promoting grind culture. Absolutely not.
No, I do not have 12 working hours on weekdays and 16 more on weekends to "create wealth." Sick of this pervasive ableist, capitalist, anti-humane attitude.
"You SHOULD be able to--" no I shouldn't and I can't! That's the whole thing. Let me rest FFS.
@_L1vY_ Anyone that is working that much is not doing a good job. I have worked in tech and restaurants and maintenance, and this holds true across them all.
People that hold up their long hours as some sort of status are just posturing. They are not good at their jobs, they are making mistakes for others to fix, or not thinking out their solutions, again for others to fix.
This is a representational capitalism things. The way a thing is done becomes more important than the end result.
The venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft is experiencing another glitch. Instead of sending science and engg. data, it is sending a 0101 bit pattern.
The problem has been narrowed down to the flight data system (FDS), which is not communicating properly with the telecom unit (TMU). A reboot did not help.
Stay tuned as NASA engrs work out a fix for this 1970's era computer, which has performed magnificently during its long 46-year journey to the planets and to outer space. https://blogs.nasa.gov/sunspot/

Six months after it suffered a serious brain injury and after months of mind-boggling ultra-long-distance surgery, the Voyager 1 spacecraft walked and talked at full data rate today!
After transmitting a full memory readout on Friday at 40 bps, Voyager 1 switched to the science-mode 160 bps rate, which presumably the DSN site at Goldstone was able to receive and decode today.
