@davidallengreen I was led to believe by previous statements of the Trump regime that once an aircraft has taken off it is totally impossible for it to be recalled and there is no way to stop it delivering whoever or whatever it is carrying to their destination.

Britain First is a far-right, British fascist and neo-fascist political party and hate group formed in 2011 by former members of the British National Party. The group was founded by Jim Dowson, an anti-abortion and far-right campaigner

One of its members killed the MP Jo Cox

Britian First is not a proscribed organisation

Next Friday #PalestineAction will become a proscribed organisation. No one has been killed by paint

I think what makes me so incredibly angry about AI is that it’s not there to reduce *your* work. It’s there to reduce the amount of labor that CEOs have to pay for.

There’s no world in which doing *your* job a little faster is worth the trillions of dollars in investment; this is entirely predicated on eliminating working class jobs.

And *no one* should be excited about that, except for billionaires.

We are pleased to announce that we are abandoning our account on X for reasons that will be obvious to denizens of the Fediverse.

£16 billion straight down the toilet. Yes, £16 BILLION. Think of what else we could do with the astonishing costs of the Lower Thames Crossing, which will simply worsen congestion and ruin people's quality of life. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Debian 13 "Trixie" is the new upcoming Debian release, estimated to officially come out during summer, but Debian's release engineering process always puts it in a feature freeze not long before release, merging only the most critical patches. Once that happens, it's usually pretty stable already.

I was shipping Debian 12 "Bookworm", the current official release.

I'm talking about the Libreboot computers that I sell at https://minifree.org/

I'll ship Debian Trixie from now on.

Fighting a losing battle for better IT security, I sent the Big Train sketch about no more wanking in the office to everyone in the company from the HR role account. I'd telneted in to a mail server from external dial-up. Got what I wanted.

@davidallengreen Indeed, and there is one country in the Middle East with nuclear weapons that doesn't allow inspections, and it isn't Iran.

In any conflict, we should oppose the aggressor and defend the aggressed, regardless of identity. I have only contempt for the Iranian regime, but Iran was attacked by Israel and the US without sufficient cause or legal justification. Israel and the US are the aggressors, Iran the aggressed.

People who reach over and break up the pile of poppadoms are presumptuous wankers. Take your and do what you want to with it. Don't presume I want a pile of fragments. I have physically intervened when people pull this power play shit.

#OtD 23 Jun 1937 during the Spanish Civil War, following the Republican government suppression of the anarchists and POUM, anti-fascist author George Orwell fled Spain with his wife, Eileen O'Shaughnessy.

ah yes 2003. an american on the internet tells me since I oppose the war i must have lived my life in some fantasyland, isolated from the realities of the world. i say i grew up in 1980s central america. he doesn’t know what that means.

About that new "informal" rule for major appliance manufacturers to build in failure after 6 years.

We have a new rule in our house. If our repairman cannot fix the appliance, we don't buy anything from that manufacturer, ever again (period).

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war with Iran.”

The death of physical media was accelerated by the insecure housing situation of young people. A big CD /DVD collection is a lot less fun if you have to move it between flats every 12 months.
