  Who knew that the easy way to obliterate copyright was just to tell governments that a few super-rich prats who occasionally give them financial handjobs would get richer from it.

  Congratulations Apple for continuing the AI industry trend of making an AI-related logo look like someone was trying to draw a puckered sphincter.

  Somewhere in the history books of the future, some poor bastard academic is going to write how the fall of a society can be sometimes measured by getting to the point that they let animal-fuckers into law enforcement, and call them the victims. #uspol https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/15/kash-patel-fbi-hiring-policy-bestiality

  Even high quality/advanced bone conduction headphones cannot compete against city noise. What a lesson for how quiet my area of Ballarat is – I can walk around with my Shokz headphones and get great audio fidelity. In Melbourne I'm lucky to hear a thing.

  Two pics I'm particularly happy with from my trip yesterday to the Ian Potter Centre at Fed Square. Both were taken on my Oppo Find N6 in 200MP mode. Original image size for both was a whopping 16384 x 12288 pixels; these have been downscaled to 6000 x 4500 in Preview. "Shearing the Rams" and "The Pioneer" are two of my favourite early-settler period artworks. Sadly, the John Brack art wasn't up in the gallery yesterday – otherwise I'd...

  Worried about what people will think of you over your AI stance? Here's a thoughtful tip: 1. If you say you're vehemently pro-AI, you'll piss-off the vehemently anti-AI. 2. If you say you're vehemently anti-AI, you'll piss-off the vehemently pro-AI. BUT 3. If you talk about how there are valid use cases for AI that need to be explored and used, but it needs careful guardrails and regulations, you'll simultaneously piss-off the vehemently pro-AI...

  Currently watching a D-grade movie called "Dragon Wasp" so you don't have to. It's as bad as the name implies.

  Well, if anyone wants a meeting with me they've left it too late. I started the product management role on 10 January 2022, and wrapping it up on 11 September 2026 I can give a final meeting tally: 5,400 meetings done. September 2026 was definitely my quietest: none.

  A genie appears! Genie: "Sorry, things are tight. You only get one wish. No killing, no people falling in love with you, no changing history. Whaddyawant?" Me, screaming at my US-centric document template: "REPLACE LETTER WITH A4 WORLD-WIDE" Genie: "Damn. I might have to give that one to you as a freebie."

  A reminder that when the billionaire tech bros say "move fast and break things", the "things" they're talking about are "society", "democracy", "ethics" and other things they think aren't necessary.

  The only traditional difference about how the ALP and the LNP like to kick disadvantaged people in the face is that the ALP try to discretely jerk off about the misery they cause later. But more recently, they seem to even be giving up on that. #auspol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/aug/09/centrelink-pursuing-debts-that-are-more-than-40-years-old-despite-agreeing-to-waive-old-arrears?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  For the love of *waves hands* everything, if you are thinking it would be cool to "add a voice agent" to a business application, could you please pay 10 people to go into random offices and start Enunciating Commands Loudly to understand just how much it will piss off the average worker?

  Back from my nuclear stress test and my husband had done this drawing of me ... the last coffee I had was around midday Sunday and I'm now enjoying one a bit after 13.00 Tuesday. This. This is me. #catsofmastodon

  Every time I see friends post excitedly about going to the USA for a holiday, it takes all my fucking effort to not reply "Enjoy the fascism! Hope they don't arbitrarily arrest you and put you in indefinite detention!" Like, seriously, why the fuck are you still going over there?

  Josh Taylor on the Guardian: "Telstra’s $30,000, 15-year-old server that wasn’t updated caused outage, execs say" Yes Telstra Execs, you're 100% correct the server caused the outage, not the hierarchy of management who decided the cost of the modernisation project for that piece of technology was too expensive. Just like how it's the NT4 server in that business over there that caused an outage, or the Tru64 system in that other business that caused its failure, or the Netware...
