"Nazi Punks Fuck Off" is the fifth and most important single by the Dead Kennedys, released in late October/early November 1981 on Alternative Tentacles.

The single included a free armband with a crossed-out swastika on it.

Jen from problematic The IT Crowd, holding a box. Early 2000s business suited woman in an office busy with various interesting memelike items. In the scene she believes the small black box to contain 'The Internet' only some scallywag has drawn AWS on the box, denoting the troubles they've had today with breaking all of their clients businesses. Linehan is a piece of shit. X

I've been trying to get the cybercrime journalist @vxdb to abandon their seat at the Nazi Bar, or at least to also post here. So please join me in giving them a follow and a friendly hello.

Did you know that a cactus can be a source of water in an emergency?

If you encounter someone who won't share their water, repeatedly hit them with a cactus until they give it to you.

I too, would need an outrageous amount of beer to get through an Oasis gig.

Screenshot of a headline from NME that says “Beer Here Now: Oasis fans set new Wembley Stadium record for drinking 250,000 pints.

Every day I have a look at Techcrunch latest stories and every single day I have the same questions after seeing the crazy amount of money that are being invested in AI. "Should we really be building these tools?" Is this the right thing to build now? is there really a need for all of this?

Good on Signal! signal.org/blog/signal-doesnt-

Not only are they doing the right thing, they’re publishing a clear, forceful, and occasionally amusing write-up on how and why:

For Example: <quote>“Take a screenshot every few seconds” legitimately sounds like a suggestion from a low-parameter LLM that was given a prompt like “How do I add an arbitrary AI feature to my operating system as quickly as possible in order to make investors happy?”

After seeing the new tools and features that are announced in the big tech companies developer conferences I cannot stop thinking that these guys have lost all sense of what's needed in real life.

In feudal times, the rich didn’t pay taxes and the peasants worked until they died. Now, the rich don’t pay taxes and the peasants work until they die—but at least you have Netflix!

A useful hack for achieving 5 9's of uptime is to lower your standards. It's much easier to hit 9.9999% uptime than 99.999%.
