Hello everyone I moved to a new self-hosted blog thing and here is my first post on why "PC Compatible" is a social construct codon.org.uk/~mjg59/blog/p/wha

Got myself listed on tracker.applenewton.co.uk:3680 for as long as this old wifi router stays up ;-)

Thanks to @newtontalk mailing list as always for correcting my rookie mistakes.

@Tionisla doesn't FreeBSD have systemd? So their commit message makes no sense...

it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer

So I'm now told I'm holding it wrong, and I need to boot with UEFI. Which is *>2000* ages of specification, plus a load more reading on how to configure UEFI. And UEFI isn't even mentioned in the qemu docs for the machine I'm emulating (risc-v virt), so I don't even know if it's available.

How the hell is a human being meant to be able to understand all this stuff to actually use the hardware?

Wow, so a full annexation of Venezuela without Congress approval. Watch out, Canada and Greenland. Is the EU still going to appease Combover Caligula?

I remember when the FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

So when Trump decides to go get Greenland he’s just going to fly in and kidnap our prime minister. Great. You have a scrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world. I have absolutely no trust in any of you Americans whether you are pronounced MAGA or if you “didn’t vote for the guy”: Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it’s your fucking responsibility to stop him.

#Starmer said he is waiting for a focus group to be quorate before he can say anything worthwhile about the #Venezuelan crisis

@Edent did you see the untappd API is going commercial-use-only ?
Your existing tokens may randomly stop working :-(
Disappointed in as was about to use your code to cross post here

"we are no longer making API access available without a commercial agreement.
