To take it to a logical extreme, it frustrates me when a post that considers both (or more) views and is a well thought out post, is met with a single world reply - as if it’s some sort of “gotcha” or the fact that a single ambiguity in a largely solid argument somehow usurps the entire point.
I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.
Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Oh, and a nonce too.
I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.
Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.
How is someone getting control of their data by paying a ransom?
The opposing actor still has your data, so it doesn’t really matter how much you pay, you’ll never be able to mitigate that security issue, surely?
"We look for GIFs to make us go.
We are meme kings, now."
Gut-wrenching, puts you through an emotional wringer, and leaves you feeling empty inside.
Absolute masterpiece, would watch again, A+++++
I’m not arsed about cheese one way or another, but honestly a Big Mac (or a breakfast wrap) without cheese is much better. I find it tastier, less gooey, and just generally more burger-like than a stack of stodge.
Well worth a try.
Ah I see you like the idea of England then 🔥🔥 💯
Nah seriously though, if someone paid me off to GTF somewhere warm and slightly less comfortable, i’d be all over that like a cheap suit.
On y va to the bookshop for a new thesaurus.
Just to be a proper poser…
…obviously that was a lie, I could never afford persistent storage. Floppy swaps were king.
His voice isn’t much different!
I watch his videos because it’s nice to have an insider view of what was the formative years of Microsoft’s assimilation creation of a common office workspace. The anecdotes are deliciously 90’s, the openness is refreshing, and the implementation detail is quite interesting.
My other half likes the videos because he has that quite monotone voice, with quite an even canter and the odd lingering pause that can send her to sleep.
Win win.
Bobby Prince. Now that would be a treat.

That’s really cool, thank you for the explanation and example!
Awesome, thank you for the insight!
Alright, I’m going to be a real pain in the arse here and throw some edge cases at that idea - not because I’m trying to be a cockwaffle (I can manage that all by myself), but trying to straighten out my understanding of these things…
In short, what criteria does the data have to meet to make it immutable, and can that be changed in future?
Birth certificates are brilliant for establishing time dates and places, but what if someone changes their name or gender partway through life? Is there a function to amend the original blockchain entry, or is a new one created that supersedes an old entry in the ledger?
I’m fortunate in as much that my professional accreditations (and being a part time student) get me access to all sorts of discounts, but even still it’s worth asking for a student discount (or whatever they offer at the till) all the same.
Nine times out of ten, the retail staff aren’t paid enough to give two fucks, so they’ll just put it through as whatever discount appears on their till.
The worst they can say is no, after all - and that costs nothing.
Consider the young persons of today - going about their lives with their AI functions and ChatGPT or Mistral technologies - trying to hide the fact that they have cheated on their school homework, when it’s really the tech created by that rogue Sam Altman that’s done the research and drafting of it - but they should hang their heads in shame, because it can’t replicate how the boys in Scotland talk amongst themselves in this day and age.
Fuck me I wrote that, and still struggled to rewrite it in British English.
Absolutely love that CCC talk, very interesting and quite entertaining too.
Cheeky bastards.
