Even the backwards track which I always used to think was just filler

First spin of “the stone roses” in ages. Forgot how good it is

My PhD thesis has been published: https://theses.ncl.ac.uk/jspui/handle/10443/6607

Cheers Thunderbird, for seemingly intersposing random HTML in my email headers:

<BR><FIELDSET CLASS="moz-mime-attachment-header"></FIELDSET>

Luckily I can clean this up with mutt (many other mail clients are downright refusing to show me the messages)

@lp0_on_fire @srtcd424 @revk I can't go within a click of that place at this time of year without feeling uneasy. Or Northumberland Street.

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

Re BR, I’d probably always put the Final Cut on now, for me.

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

Fixed.

@pndc true: but one of the dramatic personae does as you describe :)

@pndc haha definitely not (pertinent given some other news today)

@lproven @theregister yeah, and sadly it's a particular egregious one, where to opt-out of everything you have to scroll and click 10 or so separate things.

Just realised I've spent 20 years in Academia training my Spam filter that "Dr Dowland" was a sure sign of junk, and that's no longer true!

@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)

Oof I’ve fallen out of my employer’s LWN subscription again

Prag prog doing 50% off for Black Friday. Any recommendations?

@ross @mjg59 👀 fingers crossed 🤞

time to harvest RAM from disposable vapes

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!
