I like to imagine it’s an easy way to spot buy-to-let vs owner-occupied. That said, some owner-occupiers also praise the Big Light

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.
JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

Not quite $6, but my £8.50 glass of port after a long French lunch yesterday was about 200mL-worth and I walked out very warm and happy.

“Standard advice” that’s not been valid since about 2010 as any mobile OS from the last 15 years will warn you if a USB connection attempts a data connection and require approval to do so.

ChatGPT as a manifestation of the masculinity crisis because fellas, is it gay to ask your mates for help in crafting a text to a girl you like? In this essay I will…

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success". When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be. ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich. "Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

I found out last week after a reset that my <10-year-old soundbar refuses to handshake with a WPA2-PSK network even if it's on 2.4GHz. Had to bump the security back down to WPA1, do the authentication, then bump the security back up again. Worth a try?

I started with a 7-day mute on those terms and when it expired I felt gross so upped it to 30 days, same feeling after the month ended. Whacked them to permanent and haven't looked back and rarely hesitate in adding new terms.

I was feeling this way and then got very acquainted with the filter tools. A whole bunch of politician names, countries currently in conflict, whatever drama is doing the rounds - they're all banished to the shadow realm and bluesky will even query the text of link summaries and nuke those.

In the same post they also make the claim that moisture ingress in old phones was somehow an invented problem from the past, and not that manufacturers now have the technology to waterproof phones.

(also, again, ignores the reality that people like me saw the internal PCB corrosion first-hand)

It's an old-fashioned thread pair! By gar, it's been a while.
A screenshot of two posts in a Bluesky feed. An automated TfL Status Update account states “Liberty [line]: Suspended” beneath a photo of masked ICE agents pepper spraying a Christian pastor at a protest.

Would be rude not to, given you’ve come to the other side of the world and picked a pub in my neighbourhood.
