Happy everyone.

Newsweek claims that is being used by Russian forces in the war against

Obviously I have no way to verify that, but if they are, then obviously SpaceX and Musk would be aware of that. Assuming otherwise seems silly.

OK, so I have those genuine blue socks with the bee logo (as in eye-bee-M) designed by Paul Rand, given to me by an IBM sales rep last year.

They are new and have never been worn.

Not my style but if you are an IBM nerd or fan and want them they can be yours. DM me or share if you are hanging out in circles that may be interested.

Please note you will need to be based in the UK as I won't have the nerve to deal with customs and send them overseas.

I created a Meta developer account last week (to test some of their APIs).

Then I went to the kitchen and made a coffee, when I returned to my computer Meta had suspended my account "for suspicious activities" ..

I kid you not.

This is not his week, is it? Hundreds of business execs just ranked Elon America's most overrated CEO

You’d think folks writing the HTML spec would know the difference between an HTML attribute and inline JavaScript but you’d be mistaken and that’s why we can’t open a modal dialog without client-side JavaScript in 2024.

🤷

PS. What would be great to have is:

<dialog modal open></dialog>

So that a modally-open dialog can be streamed from the server without requiring client-side JavaScript to trigger it open when it loads.

Happy St. Brigid’s Day, Fediverse.

It’s on a Thirsty Thursday this year, so you could raise a glass in honour of her beer-making miracle 🍻

mistakenotmy,

@shezza_t Not to belittle that, but isn't turning water into beer instead of wine a bit of a downgrade?

mistakenotmy,

@shezza_t fair point

This must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

The judge in the Delaware decision against citing Star Trek and giving a dead serious citation for it is simply gold.

Musk loosing his $56 billion compensation package is the funniest thing that happened so far this week. 🍿🍿🍿

That will, of course, go wonderfully well. Just splendid.

If you want to prepare for the next financial crisis, better start now: Labour has pledged to “unashamedly champion” the UK’s financial services sector, as it promised to cut down 10,000 pages of regulations

It will also set back any idea of re-joining the single market by a decade.

FFS now is also spamming me with the amazing offer to "rewrite my post with AI".

I am perfectly fine with writing my 20 or so words without. But why would AI increase my reach?

Important: Elon Musk has made yet another announcement with just enough technobabble to guarantee we will not run out of "This-Just-happened" spam videos on youtube.

Those who are not following the whole UK Immigration Bill discussion might not understand how outrageous this act is:

The UK government essentially tries to "define by law" that Rwanda is a safe country. It is a law trying defining facts despite the supreme court having found that this is not so.

This is - as Ken Clarke has pointed out - like writing a law saying that "black is white" or "cats are dogs".

mistakenotmy,

@TimWardCam Yes, but the way the immigration bill is written it will prevent the courts from finding other facts. Which it can - in the logic of the government - because judicial review is not a thing in the UK.

Is there anyone here who is using ESR 102 or later on Linux version and has random freezes? It seems especially bad when using the search field.
