okay, what do you guys think of this redesign of the UK flag

so, e.g. -

"Microsoft Recall is bad" is not effective communication. Some dipshit's going to immediately argue that it meets his needs or desires and thus it's 'good', and then it's a whole-ass thing.

Instead, "Microsoft Recall provides a tool for domestic abusers to further their abuse" is much more effective. It specifies the behavior that I am concerned about, and the relationship of the thing being discussed to that behavior.

User: "My laptop is really slow these past few days."
Me: "Well, you don't have many applications open so it can't be that, hmm."
*I load up Task Manager and look at the device uptime, it's been on for over a month*

"You call this a steamed copper sheet, despite the fact that it's clearly grilled."

This is why I bought an old hotel CATV/MATV system, so I can run four analog TV channels in my home and they can have whatever TV I want on them. I still need to sort out the software, etc, but it's on the list.

The four channels I'm planning for are:
- Kids TV
- Science fiction
- Movies
- General (everything else, kinda like Sky One)

There's provision for additional modulators, if I feel that four channels aren't enough and want say a channel just for documentaries.

A recent video I saw re the difference between UK and US supermarkets got me thinking about my own personal TV consumption again.
( youtu.be/zpkvc8bz-l4 )

I don't watch modern linear TV nowadays because I don't find it satisfying; there's too much choice, and that spreading of the viewing pool has lead to a lot of mush that doesn't really interest me.

I do want a linear TV experience but for it to be more curated with less choice.

It's done!!! Updated ref sheet!

This is another commission for Zeta Syanthis! It's got some similarities to the previous one, but I also tried to make it distinct. Maybe it's another part of the same temple complex?

Tom Baker, in the 1970s, asked about the idea of a woman playing the Doctor.

The answer (“a good idea”) to the question is then expanded to consider the culture of the BBC and then just men of 1970s Britain in general.

Fuck Microsoft and Fuck Nadella.

As expected, the 24H2 update installed 'Recall', it can't be uninstalled.

Can't vouch that all the people you share your screen, code, IP, private details, will disable theirs. consider NOT sharing anything ever again.

During BLFC's quieter moments I wrote a quarterly update Patreon post, in which I describe my current professional/personal priorities and where I'd like to take them in the near future: patreon.com/posts/114195063
