A ‘no ads’ option on Facebook. Good. Right now if a ‘no blithering LLM crap’ option could be provided everywhere too we’d be getting somewhere

I remember this cool scene at the end - the witch thinks she’s got control of walken, then it’s like nopppe you don’t :)

Any engineer who agrees to that is either very shit at their job, or very very junior

My first job one team used to show up early every day . Which seemed odd, because we couldn’t bill more hours for it. One day a senior guy walked by and said - if doing this is meant to impress me, it isn’t. It mean either I have messed up, or you have.

'Vegatsu all, folks!' – Wagamama faces backlash over stripped-back vegan menu

Wagamama has removed the Vegatsu and other vegan dishes from its menu, to the disappointment of many fans. Is the chain ditching its plant-based pledge?

Also because the people inside it are too cowardly to either spend the money or demolish/stop using the building to not spend it, so their staff have to work in a deathtrap instead.

We are encouraged not to see this as a metaphor for how Britain is run.

The Palace of Westminster is literally going to either burn down, kill someone, or both because spending money to save it is perceived as so politically toxic.

I can’t remember which writer said this, but one aspect of the reluctance to do anything, is a % of the MPs who hate the idea of just working in a normal modern building as if they had an actual job - they want to be in Hogwarts

Not that it matters but does anyone know why MacOs Tahoe seems to prevent Touch ID working once the Lock Screen has kicked in? (Works fine all other times)

Ah ok so the people are outside not actually buying a museum ticket to see a broken window. So the selfie-wanting idiots are more depressing :)

eigerjoch @eigerjoch.bsky.social · 1d

Now what is more depressing, someone who goes to the Louvre to take a selfie in front of that painting, or someone who wants to see a broken window.

The idea they could all leave when most of their voters are embittered losers with nothing that’d get them a visa let alone a passport anywhere else , is pretty funny

Ditto and apparently now we have to do so only after carefully checking for the potential of arrest first:)
