Unfortunately the Kobo software is terrible.

The last time the Australian Labor Party was a centre-left government was around the mid 1970s.

Country that is the reason that globally we can't have breasts on social media, even in completely non-sexual contexts, complains about "censorship" from a country that wants to avoid melting its childrens' brains.

Until someone at Google makes signups to this someone's KPI. Then you'll hear about it whenever you touch any Google product until it inevitably gets killed in 18 months. Meanwhile the PM hit their KPI and got promoted.

That's when their documentation site is even up!

You get Fox News?

Okay this isn't half baked, it's basically raw. The app opens with everything greyed out. The support email bounces.

TIL. Definitely see the distinction.

Annoyed nerds are the best nerds. Well done.

I had to look up RAL colours. They're the German Pantone, it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAL_colour_standard

It's a tell

I cancelled my subscription when it got bought by space nazis. But I actually use the cloud agent flow cos it's amazing. Subsequently I built my own software factory based loosely on the OpenAI Symphony pattern.

Microsoft started this really. In Windows 95, they built a filing system so that applications went in specific folders in the Start menu. MS Office installed all its icons in the root of the Start menu, because self-importance. Can't expect everyone else to respect the conventions after that.

If you're this far in and still using Windows and Outlook, there's no saving you. You've been in an abusive relationship for _decades_ now. Get help.

I visited a university supercomputer centre in Berlin that had been a merger of East and West Berlin facilities in about 1999. In the lobby they had a PDP-11 right next to the Eastern Bloc clone with its Cyrillic writing.

I probably have some old school photos somewhere.

AI slop writing is one reason not to read this. Centre justification is an even bigger one.

Maybe you should put a smart power socket in front of the Ikea bridge to power cycle it every 30 minutes?

(I'll see myself out then.)

The best marketing has always been a psychological operation.

A car company wanting to divert attention away from the carnage cars cause. Seems a bit suspicious no?

You broke it, you bought it!

I sat next to the "law enforcement liaison" team at a Telco many years ago. They were all ex-cops and I could listen in on the conversations that had with cops. There was never even the slightest push back. Just sexism, racism, blokey humour and "yeah we'll get that info for you".

Harold Scruby and his "Pedestrian Council of Australia" is one man and a fax machine who's been blaming victims for decades. Any news media who quotes him without pointing this out loses all authority.

Yep just like many things Americans are sure can't be done, universal healthcare has never been done anywhere in the world, ever. And healthcare everywhere costs what Americans are willing to pay (public and private money).

Management WHAT?

Moral high ground somewhat undermined by the post being on the deepfake porn and CSAM distribution platform formerly known as Twitter.

Book a date with TASCAT. I haven't used the Tasmanian one but in NSW it cost me a couple tens of dollars from memory and I got a response in days. Once the case lands with the _LAWYERS_ who are expensive, it'll get resolved.

These young journos are legends.

The first sentence is your answer. The third word even.

The healthcare market. MARKET

Healthcare shouldn't be a market. That's why you're paying $40k.

Recent Xpeng G6 purchaser: it's amazing.
