  Thanks :)

  Image grr is blocked in the UK, so can’t watch the video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Adverts, subscriptions, marketing, tracking, surveillance etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro yet?⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  iPops are still new young people things.

  For retro gaming on a portable music player, you need to play “If you hold down play and fast-forward it makes your music go squeaky” on a cassette Walkman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think many of the bugs were introduced in “Web 2.0”, so surely we can just fork Web 1.0 and start again from there? :P

  Self-aligning cats Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Talk about hat hair...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Too sexy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Met Police chief gives phone firms deadline over thefts⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Kill switches for stolen phones means kill switches for all phones.

  Who is in control of the kill switch?

  Given that people store banking stuff, train tickets etc on their phones, it means you can be left penniless and stranded if the phone suddenly stopped working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla wins licence to supply electricity in Britain⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as humanly possible, they’re not getting a penny out of me.

  I say “as long as humanly possible”, because they have the money to supply electricity at a loss for several years, to undercut and then buy out all the other energy suppliers… but I’m hopeful that won’t happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a chance that someone once uploaded a picture of some boobs on it or something, so to “protect the children”, our beloved glorious leaders have blocked us from a bug chunk of the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  20/24 (83%), native Briton.

  Some of those questions are stupid though, on terms of day to day knowledge on Britain.

  If it was actually going to be useful, it would include things about:

  • Letting someone go in front of you in the shop queue if they’ve only got a few things and you’ve got a basket full.
  • Which football teams are “scum” according to supporters of other football teams
  • Which one of PJ & Duncan is PJ and which one is Duncan? (Also known as Ant and Dec)
  • How to apologise for things, even even they’re not your fault
  • Why Piers Morgan is a twat
  • What things you can have a “cheeky” one of i.e. pints, Greggses, sausage rolls, Nandoses, and girls (if you’re MP Lembit Opik).
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relaunched digital ID will make it easier to access services, minister says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh fuck off with your fucking IDs again and stop pretending they’re for anything except oppression and surveillance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  […]organisation representing musicians Large Corporate Record Companies who bought the rights off someone[…]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I read it, but I’m going to try and forget it as soon as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re an extortion racket for large music recording labels, who generally fuck over small music venues and individual musicians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the community group taking on 'absentee landlords' to put empty building in hands of artists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a great project. I wish there was something similar running in every city centre. Our city centre is full of empty building being hoarded by “property investment companies”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “What are we going to call this fish? It’s got… so much pilch… maybe a bit too much if I’m honest”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t even realise “no SD card” was an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d add “less than 15cm tall” too. I’ve had enough of stupid giant phones that don’t fit in pockets and where you can’t even reach the top or other side with your thumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good content⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From 'Ull in East Yorkshire?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nooo never undervalue yourself⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those ones pacman has.

  Those ghosts that have been following me about and harassing me?

  Going to eat the haunty little bastards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. That old lady spending £3000 a month on gems for “Royal Candy Blaster Treasure Blitz Origins” is the gaming industry now. :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I put thing like this in a box labelled “I don’t know to recycle this”, then I put that box in the corner of the least-used room in the house, where I won’t see it often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the news media needs to stop pretending he’s still (or ever was?) a comedian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you reboot the router for a Scooby Snack?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a sort of white rectangular bag behind him. To the right of it is a large penile object on a string.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Jeffrey Combs Returns As Weyoun In ‘Star Trek Fleet Command’ Animated Short⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was being silly :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Jeffrey Combs Returns As Weyoun In ‘Star Trek Fleet Command’ Animated Short⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeffrey Combs the actor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NHS waiting list at lowest level in three years⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds awesome, but I think it’s a bit of a postcode lottery for this stuff - and some of it varies from GP to GP in the same area. Ours got rid of their useful online booking system and most of their website to revert back to “phone along with everyone else at any time between 08:00 and 08:01”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home renovations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha. I love an appealing Amazon photoshop job :)

  Also this is separately hilarious (or perhaps terrifying):

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home renovations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Excellent answer.

  I suspected the same, but metrically.
