I’m so used to everything we do being another stride into a dystopian hellscape that it took me a moment to realise that this wasn’t (in any immediately obvious way) the government helping the fuel industry. This treaty is absolute nonsense, and should never have been ratified in the first place, so this is actually good news, unless they’ve somehow thought of something worse to replace it with

No worries, there’s going to be a wealth of stuff I have to request myself with, it’s just another thing on the list. Thanks for pointing it out!

Nice one. It’s been a hot minute (or a warm couple of decades at least) since I’ve used Linux, but I had a play a short while back, and remembered more than I expected, so I’m going to turn an old Mac mini that I have spare into a media server

So it’ll go into suspension if I don’t deal with that at install, and I can’t turn it off later easily? That’s a dick, thanks for the warning

Can you recommend a distro for being a media server? I too have been complacent about my media habits, and the time has come to sort it out.

Wait, are we supposed to think of influencers as humans?

Mine is a Casio I’ve had for about 30 years, I’m pretty sure it’s mine by now

I’ve got a digital watch

That’s stupid. A cheap laser pointer would do almost as much damage, but carries far less risk of getting arrested as a bloody TERRORIST!

In other news, water is slightly damp

Finding that Gimp, and Darktable are at least as useful as photoshop and lightroom is really satisfying

This is why I like telling people that they’re one in a million. It sounds like a compliment, but I’m literally saying that there’s 8000 people exactly like you.

I have the Flint, I think I paid about $80 for an open box one, it’s easy for a pleb like me to set up. Running Mullvad on it is definitely quicker than on my devices

Apparently it’s tricky. I’ve seen a cracked version of Lightroom too, though it was too much of a fuckabout for me. Turns out that there’s decent FOSS alternatives that I’d rather use and support

Anyone who thinks that these things could or would be anything other than a colossal waste of time and resources should watch Adam Something’s recent video on them. Such a pointless way to solve inner-city transport

Perfect

Nah, the cheeseburger flavoured crisps I got from Morrisons a while back were fantastically foul. Literally one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted

Daphne Did It by Cleopatrick has been on repeat in my brain most of the time this week

To be honest, I’m taking it as a sign of it developing genuine artificial intelligence. It examined its situation and surroundings, and made the only logical choice

Cornwall outsourced mobile speed cameras to a private company a while ago, and realised that they, and the company, we’re making money hand over just, and due to Cornwall’s number of tourists, much of that money was coming from outside Cornwall. This feels like a development of that idea. Ethics and everything aside, if they can find a way to roll this out further and increase the flow of money into the councils coffers, they will
