Tonight's fun: Diagnosing people via Rightmove listings. No books on show? Neurotypical, boring people.
If the AI apocalypse happens, it won't be Terminator robots marching across a barren wasteland. Nor will it be Asimov's Zeroth law. It's going to be "Sorry, I hacked the resources you need to survive so I can run modelling to answer this question on the best temperature for brewing tea"
Received a GitHub Unicorn via text output and this amused me. How many people have try to “improve” the unicorn page to remove the inline styles, resulting in a cluebatting from the SRE team?
How to ruin/improve 1970s kids TV for the same now-grown up audience: The Wombles as a mafia clean up crew. Samuel L Jackson as the voice of Uncle Bulgaria.
That is just amazing! No photos or videos can do it justice.
Flight yesterday had our aircraft swapped out for a charter. Not unusual if airlines are short of aircraft during the busy summer months. G-OATW rang a bell though, which was odd, so I googled it. Very, very nice interior. And you can’t even see where they had to replace the windows. I looked.
I’ll take “extremely niche groups you did not expect to see on a pride march but makes sense when you think about it” for 10, please
I assume next year they’ll be removing their physical presence from Pride and moving to download only.
Humanity put someone on the moon over half a century ago, and has robotic rovers exploring Mars. But we still have not solved the problem of ensuring announcements on trains and planes are loud enough to be heard by everyone on board.

I read this on Sky News and my immediate thought was "signed the deal remotely? Hope they're not just using Docusign..."
Did not expect to find a completely gluten free restaurant in a random city in Spain but so glad we did! Not being able to sample the local food on our journey due to coeliac has been something I’ve missed. And it was really good food.
Sitting in the car while we charge in the car park of a closed supermarket in Spain, and it does feel like capitalism hasn’t kept pace with tech. Why are charger stations, particularly the larger ones, never by a decent coffee shop? Best always seems to be motorway services without proper seating.
Those plastic cases that you sometimes get components etc in are pretty useless. They spill too easily and the dividers come out, so for small things I prefer Hobbycraft’s storage containers. Turns out though that the plastic cases make excellent travel jewellery and small tool storage!
"Ikeapunk": New term @goatsarah.org just termed for the improvised setup you get when you move in somewhere and only have half the furniture you need, so everything is kinda improvised.

Having worked for 4 startups now, I like the idea that my past work could be useful even if the startup fails. Too late now, that data is long gone, but I was well paid for that work already so no moral/legal issue w/copyright. But the privacy implications? Oof. www.fastcompany.com/91528808/shu...

Nothing makes me block access to an IoT device faster than suddenly getting notifications like this, via multiple communications channels.
Well, that explains all the security patches for software we run that we’ve been having to deploy recently. Anthropic’s latest model is *too* good but at least they’re doing the right thing with responsible disclosure before releasing it. red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-...

Whilst they may receive care, none of their care is aimed at treating gender incongruence. And somehow the NHS thinks that when a person turns 18,
