@karochan3 It is a killer set, isn’t it?
@drwalt ‘Osama Bingo Laden’ does have a certain ring to it, though.
@manton Trouble is, if it’s behaving the way he says, he won’t see that.
@manton Yes, yes, yes!
@thedimpause Good Lord! That take me back to seeing adverts long before I was old enough to drink. It works wonders, I gather.
@jasraj Don’t use them myself, but one thing I learned when I was on jury duty a few years back: incarcerated people use them with contraband phones. I suppose they can record when they get privacy, and send when they have a signal.
And the corollary: police and prosecutors can use them as evidence!
@duckrowing Ha! You should try (well, you shouldn’t: nobody should) the PoS Dell I have to use for work. As soon as I connect my Thunderbolt dock, it bluescreens.
@JohnPhilpin Except there are still traditional taxis, at least some places. Not to downplay the enshittification you describe, but it hasn’t been a total success for the VCs.
They had to have known that deportation was on the table, and just because they’ve been lulled into many years of complacency from a lack of immigration enforcement doesn’t mean that it’s any less legal to deport them now than it was the day they arrived.
Except… by allowing them to stay for years (accidentally, but in fact) you have created a kind of common-law, or even “natural-law” permission, or expectation that they should be able to stay.
None of those are the letter of the law, of course, so your statement I quoted is true; but I think what’s being triggered is people’s sense of fairness.
@jsonbecker I remember being pissed off when we were taught about semiconductors during my physics degree, at the fact the only way to understand them was by the flow of positive ‘holes’ rather than electrons. Which just seemed ridiculous then and still does now.
@akicif That type of address take me back. I was UK.ED.PHYVAX::P4023.
@endonend What are these badges of which you speak? I’m sure I must be eligible!
@JohnPhilpin What about ‘Products and services using artificial intelligence fill me with revulsion’?
@adactio Your Pret data is out of date: there’s one by Hackney Central station now.
@agilelisa Oh, I read that a few years ago. I liked it a lot.
@FALLLYRICSINCAPS OK, no, you’re right. Nice short day for her.
@FALLLYRICSINCAPS See now, I’m sure it’s nine to five. So I’m just going to have to give the album a spin to check.
Tragic.
@dispatchesfrom Yeah, that does seem ridiculous.
@jack Watched it in the last year, after thinking it wasn’t for me for a long time. Loved it!
@cygnoir I couldn’t stand that guy’s voice and/or delivery, so I only watched a few seconds.
@jsonbecker Why the sadness?
@endonend Happy Birthday!
@chipotle I recommend installing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), in that case.
@KimberlyHirsh I take it you’re enjoying Poirot, then. We watched the whole of it across some months last year. Lots of good stuff, though I think the earlier seasons are stronger.
@JohnPhilpin Yeah, I came here to reply to your original post. The first version, to me, looks like broadcast or distribution. Communication needs the arrows to be pointing in both directions.
