@dbattistella you have to respect that cable management though

This is who is arguing with you online.

This is a phone click farm
It uses phones collectively to achieve goals such as increasing views, likes and comments. This is a paid service, often used for the purpose of faking popularity, increasing followers, and generating fake engagement. These setups are capable of mass activity in minutes.

(And please don’t try trainsplaining me “oh but maybe they use the same route” (they don’t - apart from a few hundred metres entering Podgorica), “there’s not platform capacity” (there is - I’m at Podgorica right now), or “they use the same rolling stock” (they don’t) - this is incompetence plain and simple)

Having fun at Synthfest at Cambridge Computer Museum

If your dog barks at children, barks at people wearing hats, barks at white vans, barks at any other dog in a 30m radius, barks at a waitress, barks at fucking everything, don’t bring it to a fucking cafe even if the cafe says “dog friendly”.

Cafes that are dog friendly are only dog friendly to friendly dogs. Your dog is a little cunt. You made this choice.

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

Can't believe Little Bobby Tables is all grown up and has had their first kid, Ignore All Previous Instructions

I know there are rumours flying around that now I am 40 I have started taking supplements for my creaking joints. And I’m not saying they’re not true. But I AM saying that despite my crumbling body I still managed to absolutely ‘AVE IT to Fatboy Slim at Arcadia. I danced so hard that now I have quite significant lower back pain 🤘

"Fisker called its vehicles "software-based cars" and they weren't kidding. [… T]he company designed the car from the ground up to make any kind of independent service and support into a felony, by wrapping the whole thing in overlapping layers of IP."

So, a cool new EV company will go bust and brick your $70k cleantech investment, turning it to e-waste, since no one can drop in an alternative firmware that will keep the fleet rolling.
