Yay. I just tried it and it works.

Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.

Correlation ≠ causation. Exactly. But it is an interesting connection. It won’t make me better but I’ll take less worse!

I think The Amazing Digital Circus, despite having achieved ‘broken the internet’ status, is still quite niche for the moment. Might have fallen on deaf ears.

Don’t put the headset on.

Fuck the Daily Mail.

Yeah no. Plaid is one thing but giving access to your bank login to pay an invoice is something quite another. If it’s legit they can accept a card payment, or send you to a PayPal invoice.

🎶 Ooh baby don’t you know I suffer Oh baby when you phished my bank You sent me to a dodgy website Using a convincing link

Ooooooh-ooooh You drained my bank account Ooooooh-ooooh You drained my bank account🎶

Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol’ British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you’re feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that’s your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

Or Colmans English Mustard. English Wasabi, I call it.

The ‘small caps’ really gave it away to me but I wasn’t familiar with which book - thank you! The Death books were always very humanizing in an interesting way, His scenes were always my favourite.

Reminds me of the short story podcast ‘The Truth’ episode - “They’re Made out of Meat”. In fact I think it may have been a short story I once read online beforehand, that they may just have dramatized. (?)

Sounds like they meant that for chat GPT…

Do the improved Chromium browsers all count as bad browsers now? I use Vivaldi. I’m not certain but I think DuckDuckGo’s browser might be based on Chromium, too.

Vivaldi still displays a face. It’s probably a Chromium thing.

So, dude makes art on the internet and wanted to use his output to create a revenue stream for himself? Shocking, how dare he. Randall Munroe got popular doing xkcd, and now he’s written books just to further make a name for himself. A damning indictment.

A rose by any other name?

If they put the correct symbol there it would read café

It’s like he’s a real life Zaphod Beeblebrox, only far, far worse.

Ooh, thanks! I love stuff like this.
