@jzb I’ve just started watching “shrinking” and I’m really enjoying it

Bought a Pi 3A+ (for Amiga PiStorm). First testing it works. Yes. Composite video out, too! Looks horribly lovely. Would be fun to play with glitching it
@neil @penguin42 those can be worked around trivially (by users or exploits) so it’s not a safety feature just an inconvenience
In and around 2023, Roy and Rianne Schestowitz were subject to a horrific campaign of online harassment. Unfortunately they blamed me for it, and in turn wrote and published an astonishing array of articles making false accusations against me. Last year, I sued them in the high court in London. In turn, they countersued me for harassment. The case was heard last month and I'm pleased to say that the counterclaim was dismissed and I prevailed in my case. The court awarded me £70,000 in damages.

@lproven @theregister Liam do you have any leverage to get the reg’s cookie pop-up to be less dark-patterny?
@lproven @dan613 @theregister even Debian support on that platform must have stopped about a decade ago. (Still have one in my loft)
If anyone has great examples of using llms.txt, CLAUDE.md (etc) to poison LLMs, please share. I’m aware Anubis tried this at one point. I’m thinking Nuclear semiotics, “nothing of value here”, that kind of thing!
Start the Week today was excellent. Naomi Alderman, Corey Doctorow and Oliver Moody https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002md19
@etchedpixels @Gina in the UK, a significant problem IMHO is you can book flights and thus plan travel 6+ months ahead of time but not UK mainline rail tickets (approx 3 month horizon)
PSA: a test throwing a stack trace on failure is not friendly. Related: tests which reference deeply-nested dictionary keys without checking the components exist are hostile to people debugging with them.
