Fallen down a Raccoon hole and didn't realise the theme song from the cartoon was actually a fully paid up 80s pop banger
@TheBreadmonkey @roknrol Wow! I had no idea. What a tune though.

The other thing I was thinking about this yesterday...
It's bad to have Reform-led councils, because they're likely to be incompetent and racist, and council power is enough to do damage.
But it does also mean that more people will have a chance to notice how bad they are at running things, before the higher stakes of the general election.
@sakurina god it did look So exciting, though
@halcy the "long PS5 game" slot on my bingo board for next year is still up in the air so it might just sneak in depending on what I hear about it
might even get to play it at TGS who knows
Woke up again with baseless anxiety and stress. Fortunately, my teenage daughter then refused to get out of bed, missed her bus, and I had to take her to school, which gave my stress something real to hang on. I then defused it with a treat breakfast bap and coffee at the local greasy spoon. Bingo, no more stress.

Waitress. Born & raised in Glasgow, parents are Pakistani. (Very white) tourists show up, place order in "Indian accent" sounding like Apu from The Simpsons. Told them in my normal Scottish voice I couldn't understand them. Fess: I could, but had to discourage that bollocks.
Hopefully the recent flurry of Linux vulnerabilities will remind people that monocultures are bad for security. Replacing a Windows monoculture with a Linux monoculture may be a small improvement but does not fix the problem. Both systems are well past the complexity level where you can guarantee no security vulnerabilities.
A local privilege elevation bug combined with a sandboxed arbitrary-code execution bug in some widely deployed userspace software lets an attacker take complete control of all of your infrastructure if you have a single OS. If you have a mix of different systems, it is much harder to build exploits that will work on all of them.
This is part of the reason I strongly encourage digital sovereignty movements to focus on small, composable systems rather than huge monoliths. If every company and government service is running a different mix of modular systems, it’s much harder to create a portable attack that works on all of them.
@david_chisnall Anything that has a fundamentally cloud-based infrastructure is rife with weak points and not wholly under the user's control.
Peter Kellner:
“Behind the tally of Reform’s gains … Nigel Farage should be privately worried. In last year’s local elections Reform won 41% of all seats contested across England. On the basis of the overnight figures, this year’s tally is around 33%. If there were no polls, and there had been no elections last year, this year’s figure would be astonishing. But we do have the record of recent polls and elections, and it seems clear that Reform has peaked”

@davidgerard im curious how exactly it breaks your account on blacksky, do you have some details?
(i wanna know what exactly the system breakage is here, heh, since in a "decentralized" system like bluesky, this supposedly shouldn't happen, and so im curious how it does)
@ShadowJonathan doesn't seem to be fetching my posts from the relay, which is bsky. not sure about appview either. you can "keep your own data" in a PDS, but that's meaningless without the heavyweight bits.

@freecad Needed to drill a hole through a house wall for an EV charger cable... so used #FreeCAD to get the angle spot on!
Also designed a 17deg angled cover, as the hole isn't perpendicular.

C'est drôle ça : je viens de me dire que, nous, les gens des NTIC*, nous devons avoir les mêmes réactions et le même comportement que tous les autres métiers qui se sont fait défoncer par de l'automatisation.
Pendant très longtemps, nous étions les rois du pétrole à faire payer cher les patrons pour nous avoir et maintenant nous sommes dégagés sans délicatesses ni considération.
Alors, les copains, ça fait quoi de se faire prolétariariser ?

the reason everyone hates labour is that they actively decided to oppose good things and support bad things, and this result has been predictable for months if not years

One mention of Ewoks and once again the theme from the 1985 cartoon is back in my head on loop 😭
