Daughter recently had one of her milk teeth fall out. She put it under her pillow expecting a quid from the tooth fairy. All I could find was 47p, because nobody actually carries cash anymore. Swapped the tooth for the 47p plus a "tax bill" showing 53p deducted. She's gotta learn

@otfrom @simon_brooke Exactly for this reason, somebody made a convenient bot to retrieve archived copies of G content; just insert the word "dump" in the URL e.g. https://www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2024/apr/22/israel-unrwa-staff-terrorist-links-yet-to-provide-evidence-colonna-report

The Prime Minister must have bullish internal government legal advice saying that all appeals can be easily dealt with within 10-12 weeks, including to court of appeal and supreme court.

Or perhaps he does not.

It's not by giving them money. Paying for a service does not make a company fear you, and anyone who thinks they can buy a platform's loyalty by paying for a service is a simp. A corporation is an immortal, transhuman colony organism that uses us as inconvenient gut-flora: no matter how much you love it, it will *never* love you back. It *can't* experience love - only fear.

Europol issues a press release (after a meeting in the U.K. of all places, which is not a member of the E.U.) voicing their opposition to end-to-end encryption.

It's not really anything new though, they've always been big fans of mass surveillance with nothing in the way of safeguards.

As you might expect, they walk their parade of terribles to try to intimidate people, and even manage to betray the fact that their intention is to engage in very dubious accuracy profiling. Take note of that.

You guys, I am going to a "space pirate royalty" themed wedding and I don't have an astonishing outfit. Please send help in the form of links.

I have to look up the bins on the council website pretty much every week as I can never remember which one to put out. I always put my neighbour's address in though, just in case anyone at the council is keeping track and thinks I'm an idiot.

This week we had the regular #Tusky Team meeting, and among a lot of good news (new team members, new release coming soon, huge refactorings being done) we also found some areas where we could need some help ->

Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, aka “Masonry” layout https://www.webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/ - WebKit seeking developer input

Fiddling around with Doom in 3D, and struck by how well the Doom engine maps to cylindrical scanning - column-based and only horizontal and vertical planes (almost-horizontal planes stairstep quite badly).
I'm rendering to a voxel buffer then scanning out from that, but I think I could avoid some aliasing by rendering straight to the panels on the fly.

Question: Why do most programmers/developers use a dark theme while writing software/code?

Answer: Because light attracts bugs.

discovering that fewer cybertrucks have been sold than Sinclair C5s has amused me greatly. and honestly, if you want to drive a weird vehicle, the C5 is far more fun.

@Wen @JackTheCat I used to have and apparently called TV Begone. It would send out the codes for all makes of TV or I could select the particular make. Most wonderful app!

I always wanted to use it in a pub when England were about to score in a football game, but being a state registered coward prevented me. That and a probable early death! 😐
