🔊 Sound on!

Watch @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social chase Nigel Farage across the Essex Riviera: Clacton-upon-Sea.

With a very simple question that the Reform leader is refusing to answer...

Tying Safari to OS updates was certainly A Choice by Apple

Specifically, it was exactly the same Choice which lost Microsoft the browser wars.

I need to update the firmware on an old HP printer

The updater won't load on an Apple Silicon mac

So I get an old Intel Mac out of the cupboard

And HP's website won't load properly on that!

Got my copy of There Is No Antimemetics Division by @qntm.org, already 2/3 through it. Will probably finish before bed. It's so good to revisit this story in this new form, still as terrifying as ever.

Today, as we remember lives lost to war, we must keep speaking out against the horrors unfolding in Sudan, Gaza, Congo, Ukraine and everywhere conflict continues.

True remembrance requires us to speak up for peace and insist that every human life is of equal value.

Older men are prouder of the Empire (54%) than older women (35%). Few of those aged 60+ (born up to 1965) are old enough to have had much to do with Empire personally

My generation didn't have anything to do with it is usually a defence against "ashamed" but that doesn't work if want to say "proud"
