I'd never heard the term "sealioning" before and I found this explainer which is wonderful:

Wow! Who would have thought. And, pray tell, is there a particular metal that is expected to increase in value as a result?

"Yoooo bro your ping is fucking dog water. Fix it."

In a few months Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released. GTA5 came out in 2013. The time difference between the release of GTA6 and GTA5 is about the same as the time difference between GTA5 and the turn of the millennium.

I can't believe we got existential dread from comparing GTA release dates before we got GTA6.

Can anyone pinpoint when headlines saying describing every lunar event "blood moon", "harvest moon", etc. It feels like month there's a headline that's like "Chance to catch once in a lifetime retrograde lavender blowout St Dwayne moon this Sursday afternoon".

I mean... good? I'm all for supporting refugees but they've meant to claim asylum in the first EU country they arrive in, and then there's a documented process for distributing (for want of a better word) them around the EU. Once they're in the EU they're not fleeing anything any more.

Buckfast is English, believe it or not.

Nice.

I know they have a reputation as manual labourers but I feel like you're being unfair to the Poles.

MOS 6502 support when?

Tiny Glade. No "characters" as such aside from the ducks and sheep but my latest creation is pretty idyllic.

Before that, it was Forza Horizon 6 which... yeah I'd happily live in that word too.

Well, it is "For You" then, isn't it? Not "Here's what you want" but "here's what the algorithm has chosen For You". For You: a bespoke, tailored, never-ending torrent of content that we have picked out based on the relentless automated psychoanalysis we carry out every second of ever day based on every swipe, zoom and key press to keep you outraged, distracted and malleable with the absolute bare minimum of entertainment and dopamine. Bon appetit.

Okay, but it's really important that they play Nigel Farage's videos at full volume because otherwise people nearby might be allowed to forget he exists for a few seconds.

Honestly I don't think the majority of middle Englanders are ready to accept a guy with a strong northern accent as "posh" but we'll see.

It seems crazy that a company that's only really known for cars, motorbikes, tuning forks, heat pumps, brake pads, pens, tractors, fertilizer, display panels, outboard motors, pneumatic systems, oil tankers, furniture, locomotives, bricks, solar panels, ATVs, generators, hot air balloons, dinghies, hydrogen fuel cells, submarines, crop dusters, jet engines, cultivators, hedge trimmers, lawnmowers, precision optics and robots would suddenly pivot to rockets.

Man, wait until these people hear about the filesystem and kernel.

Outsourced IT provider here:

90% of businesses have basically zero IT security. Leaked passwords in regular use and no process or verification for password resets. As soon as someone complains that 2FA or password rotation is difficult it gets dropped. Virtually all company data is stored on USB keys, plaintext hard drives and on staff's personal home devices.

The reason they're not constantly having their data stolen is because no-one cares about the companies either.

MacOS: "The world came into existence fully formed ten years ago so it would be silly to even try running software older than that."
