@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social @BuxtonTheRed just for the sake of clarity - I'm not British, just live here :)
@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social @BuxtonTheRed I'd recommend not looking up why they're like that, you will not be able to spend any amount of time with US sockets for fear of imminent fire and whatnot ;)

@tryst around where you were irritated by the gauntlet on your suit?
@rateexportpilot @SomaFMrusty@defcon.social this includes me, someone who outright cannot drink coke's cola products (not a fan if the flavour, but they also make me itch pretty badly). Pepsi Max or bust for me, full fat pop is horrific and I just cannot with it.

Quite some years ago, we brought the #OLPC AKA the 100$ laptop to Rwanda [1]. A surprising thing happened. The laptops were often without battery power in the morning. A thing that wasn’t anticipated. It had two reasons. One was the keyboard LED. It was used by the parents to have a light at home. The other was a bigger surprise. The parents used the mesh networking to discuss market prices for their produce. Fascinating. 1/3
@Plus_Ultra hehe, it's a good one, yeah :) it's been in every isc episode this season :D

@kdedude@fosstodon.org couldn't quite help notice what Dennis mentioned as well, we don't really have six months of personal tutoring per enthusiastic novice to teach them an llm won't write code for them if they don't already know what the code should do...
@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social that sounds like something a true hero would say! Hmm... ;) (but for real, you do do that guide thing good :) )
@icefoxx merr vixmas! :>

Dear "concerned liberals," a word if I may - as you're watching the overwhelming public response to defend English communities from fascist rioters, please pay close attention:
When a metric fuckton of antifascists and antiracists show up, and the fash don't? The end result is hugs and a street party.
When violent fascist mobs show up, and community defenders don't, the end result is fear, violence, and arson.
Please consider this the next time you insist "both sides" are to blame.
