Weird how Elon Musk's SpaceX is not subject to sanctions and allows Russia to use StarLink. Seems like it would be easy to prevent them being used in Russia if they wanted to. youtu.be/vZCbycrMczo

When the taxi driver is bored of explaining how to open the door. How badly designed is the car that most people don't know how to open the door?
Lol so now they are also increasing the prices.
Iain@8letters.co.uk · 4d agoThe enshitification of YouTube continues apace. So I finally crumbled and got premium because the ads were getting just so insane and now they have started putting content behind paid channels. Lol. So that's a channel I will never watch again.

Many thanks to GB News for helping me undermine the Standards Commission by calling it a kangaroo court. It’s almost as if I asked them to prepare the ground by questioning the commission’s legitimacy, just in time for when I’m found to have broken the rules.

A casual glance on here at the news Prince Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK and the vitriol for that woman is shocking. If anyone already has a blocklist I'll gladly subscribe because honestly what did that poor woman do to deserve all this hatred.
The only way the tesla cybercab is going into service is by Musk forcing them to be used at one of his other companies. He will have them buy them to ferry employees around one of their closed campuses. Just like he had them all buy cybertrucks. Then he will pretend this is the same as public use.

People are turning down highly-paid jobs working on H Potter related productions. They are giving up six/seven-figure sums on principle, because the money raised will be used to harm trans people, including trans children. Yet you can’t give up playing a game, watching a movie or buying a book...?
"Customers can be reassured that the Facewatch system has a 99.98 percent accuracy rate" So 1 in 5,000 customers can expect to encounter an issue. Not exactly the save they think it is. That's like 1 customer a day for most Sainsbury's stores surely?

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .
RyanAir sending an email that the flight booked directly with RyanAir was booked by a third-party and you need to pay for identification and verification is another level of money making and needs to be illegal.
Please remember that only 27.9% of the Clacton electorate voted for me, so they aren't all morons.
I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.
Lol this is possibly the most sad thing I've seen. Imagine having such body dysmorphia and no friends to have a word and talk you down from posting this.

For a company that prides itself on simple UX their apps sotre connect is possibly the worst website experience I have ever encountered. Nothing is intuitive. Nothing works the way it should. Everything is more complicated than it needs to be. Apple is completely lost. Google Play store FTW
Apparently £5million can’t buy you enough security to protect you from an imaginary threat.
Nothing says democratic triumph quite like spending £200k of public cash to hold a circus byelection, hiding at a festival with a ferris wheel to dodge police questions about your absence, and celebrating beating an intergalactic bin warrior by a mere 12,000 votes. 🎪🗑️
