New robocaller trick, as captured by (probably too quickly deleted) voicemail:

20 seconds of hold music, then a voice states your purchase of a supremely expensive phone is nearly complete and that, "if you did not authorize this purchase, press '1' to connect to a customer support representative."

It's supposed to feel like you called them, instead of them calling you.

The voicemail message ended after that calm voice spoke.

In case anyone needs it, #Windows Media Player "Legacy" still works on Windows 11, still supports skins from wmpskinsarchive.neocities.org/ and is happily playing #FLAC.

I have found myself writing utterly incomprehensible spaghetti code in a completely goto-less programming language. Take that, Dijkstra!

@chirpbirb A very short list, I have to admit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category

Akamai Prolexic, Fastly, F5, Google Project Shield and Verizon seem to be the largest.

@chirpbirb If you go third party, then use literally anyone but Cloudflare. I'm not aware of any evidence since these receipts that they've changed for the better:

@binney This worked for me in 2017, when someone fly-tipped asbestos in a local lane. Council did nothing for months, then I decided it was worthy of a blue plaque.

Unbelievable props to whoever's been leaving 3D printed blue plaques on my mum's road to celebrate local potholes

AI, LibreOffice, hope 

In a rapidly AI slopifying world, there is hope after all.

The Document Foundation, makers of LibreOffice, the most frequently recommended free alternative to Microsoft Office, listed its *lack* of AI integration as a product feature in the newest version: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl

It broke their previous download record for the first week post-release: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl

How I found out: manualdousuario.net/en/libreof
