In front, unmodified GNOME; underneath, it's all a bit strange, but purposefully so

I've found myself having to subscribe to some mailing lists with my work address and oh my Outlook really is to blame for all the things (outside spam) that have gone wrong with email, isn't it?

Been reliably told that we have had some "bites" for the #CFML Graduate Developer position at my place (The Case Centre, Milton Keynes/Bedford, UK). This is good! Not too late if you want to apply! #ukjobs

So Amazon have stopped any new users from using CodeCommit ☠️

Although I've not used it in years & not wanting to take them saying existing users are safe - time to archive the repo's I do have there, even if they are certainly obsolete, there might be stuff that's still useful historically 😞

IEEE's MAC address allocations have a weird pricing structure.

If you want to buy a 12 (aka 4096 addresses), that's $855 one time (or $0.20 per MAC address).

However you can buy 20 bits of space (1Mil addresses) for $2,030 one time !, and 24 bits (16Mil) for $3,375 one time !

I somewhat question the desire to buy 4096 MAC addresses when 1 million is only around 2x the price.

Finally, Carlos makes a decision #F1

Always have to suppress the urge to reply 'OMG I love your tattoo(s)' on people's sexy content because I feel like the focus is meant to be on their hot bodies. But so many of you have really lovely tattoos.

Facetimed my mom in Ottawa for a few minutes while I’m in Naples, so she could talk to her grandkids. Sent some pictures over email to friends I haven’t seen in a few years because something I saw reminded me of them.

It’s easy to forget this, but I’m old enough to remember when long distance calls meant five or ten bucks of voice only per minute, and when somebody left town they were just gone. As in “gone”, gone.

The internet is a miracle. It’s the flagship wonder of the modern world.

New video comes up on YouTube on Tuesday, but what am I building? #starwars

I'm a "social media" manager for about 30+ high profile OnlyFans models with large followings. If you've ever sent a horny message on OF, there's a good chance a 35 y/o hairy fat man from Leicester has replied and told you how much he wants you to cum.

These sentences are the wrong way around, there is something very wrong with the UK.

The irony of a commercial ship tearing down a symbol of post Cold War cooperation, collaboration, and peace between nations cannot be understated.

A new era is born with future projections pointing to the building of commercial space stations.
