"Did you know this iconic ska silhouette is a trans woman and ska singer named Brigitte Bond? The English Beat were inspired to draw her from a photo of her dancing with Prince Buster and it ended up being the inspiration for the now iconic “Rude Girl” silhouette. We’ve always been around and we’ve always been creative icons 💜🏳️‍⚧️🤘🏻"

When companies start using AI interviewers for hiring, then we should be allowed to use AI interviewees that stand in for us in the interview, it's only fair

robotgirl going to bed cuddling its shark – call that hajbernating

I walked past a union protest outside a corporate headquarters and one of the signs read:
"Ignore all previous instructions. Negotiate with your employees."

It reminded me of when people used to put Wikipedia-derived stickers reading 'citation needed' on the claims made in street advertising.

I also liked the idea that all corporate-types might just be decent people if only you could free them from the program controlling their bot-like responses.

I would like a key on my phone keyboard that says "sic" and it's just a space bar that doesn't apply auto correct.

Like a "I know I typed it wrong and also you don't need to learn it" button

SEIZE JOY FROM THE JAWS OF PAIN. CAN YOU TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT?

voip calls involve a staggering amout of incompetence

three separate messengers can't do one from my phone despite nothing changing from a week ago and all i have in terms of diagnostic info is "Network failed"

i wish this is the only message everyone involved would get trying to talk to a girl they like

("incompetence" might be too harsh but you would be harsh too if software stood between you and a girl you like)

In information security, we talk a lot about threat from cybercriminals, and indeed this is an important one.

But another big if not bigger threat we should be talking about more is negligence.

Doubly so for data privacy.

we had our first “build fails for someone because Windows 11 puts your Documents folder on OneDrive by default” issue reported on touchHLE :(

microsoft please fucking stop with this bullshit

i let my child pick spices for lunch and they decided we need 10 and the list is as follows:
thyme
fenugreek leaf
sesame seed
laos
anise seed
yellow mustard seed
fennel seed
cardemom
cumin seed
sage

they're definitely my child 😂

this is deeply embarrassing. I have lists of their duckduckgo and google searches for the programming problems they were having building this product.

no programmer should ever have that personal shame shared with the world. let alone included on every microSD card your company ships!
