Yesterday: Spain is a terrific country, really, it is, I mean, one of the the best in Europe, many say the best, and they love me there, they really, do, all of, I mean, the best Spainians, they love, me, they do, they say Donald you’re the best US president for us, ever, better than all the others, they were losers and didn’t understand Europe, but you do, you’re the best, possibly the best leader of any country, of all time, and I do, I understand Europe, propably, better than anyone else…

Today: Spain is a terrible country, really, one of the worst in Europe, we’re going to cut off all trade with them, we don’t want anything to do with them, and many people agree, and I know many important leaders, they’re my friends, and they love me, really they do, and they all agree, except maybe that Pedro Sánchez guy, lazy Pedro I call him, but I don’t know, sleepy Sánchez, well he wouldn’t, would he, because he’s the king of Spain, and did you know they’re still a monarchy, truly terrible system of government, and a bad country and I never liked their pie-ella, it’s not a good dish, I mean, come on, it doesn’t even compare to a Big Mac or anything, and there’s no fries, and people all agree, everyone agrees, and they love, me, they do, they say 'Donald you’re the best US president for us, ever, better than all the others, they were losers and didn’t understand Europe, but you do, you’re the best, possibly the best leader of any country, of all time, and I do, I understand Europe, propably, better than anyone else…

Tomorrow: Spain is a terrific country, really, it is, I mean, one of the the best in Europe, many say the best, and they love me there, they really, do, all of, I mean, the best Spainians, they love, me, they do, they say Donald you’re the best US president for us, ever, better than all the others, they were losers and didn’t understand Europe, but you do, you’re the best, possibly the best leader of any country, of all time, and I do, I understand Europe, propably, better than anyone else…

644 mile range? But what if I need to drive 650 miles once a decade? Electric cars are just a stoopid fad.

Res tower from PUBG, surely?

I can cook over a wood fire and teach others the same. I can do carpentry with un-powered hand tools to an acceptable level. I am a pretty decent archer. Hopefully I could find a group of survivors who valued those skills over my delicious flesh.

I fucking love this. I mean, I absolutely hate that this is the optimal way to pack 17 squares into a larger square such that the size of the larger square is minimised.

There’s a brain echo in here.

The UK: ‘We’re not happy with the artificially tanned malignant tumour’

Will it run my bank apps? That’s all I care about, really.

HTTP is a stateless medium.

Which means a website doesn’t (can’t) remember what you did before on it. Each time you click a link it’s like the first time the website has ever seen you.

This makes it impossible to ‘sign in’ to a website.

The way they get around this is by dumping a small piece of code on your computer that says ‘hi website, it’s me and I have a proper account and am logged in’. That’s a cookie. And yes, websites need them to operate any kind of user experience.

So instead of a page that says ‘who the fuck are you?’ It can now retrieve the info from the cookie and show you the page that says ‘hi, KuromiGirl04, what’s happening? You’re all logged in and can access your account details or carry on from where you were before’.

Originally cookies could only be created, and then read back, by one website. So, eg, if you logged into your account on foobar.com, only foobar.com could read that cookie back.

But someone came up with the brilliant idea of third party cookies. So now, if you visit foobar.com you also (if you agree to it) get cookies created by facebork, grabble, aggressive-advertiser, the nra, the nsa, the kkk, and whoever else has convinced foobar.com that they get some value out of the deal.

That’s where the hundreds of cookies you need to scroll down and deny come from. Mostly advertisers or analytics, or advertisers, web optimisers, or advertisers…. And these third party cookies can be read anywhere by the company that sets them.

That way, when you visit shoefuckeringfreak.com facebork knows you’ve visited it and suddenly starts showing you sexy, sexy shoes on your facebork feed. And so forth.

If you tolerate this piss

Witches Hat! We had one like this, but quite a bit bigger, in my town. All the danger of a swing and a roundabout combined. Mounted on concrete.

When I was on Reddit, /r/CasualUK/ was my spiritual home, so moving to Feddit UK, home of !casualuk@feddit.uk, was a no brainer.

I saw The Black Hole at the cinema when it came out and loved it. To the extent that I can still recall VINCENT stood for ‘Vital Information Necessary CENTralised’.

Starmer could have turned his election victory into a moment of national renewal, fighting for social justice, decency, clean politics and… an ethical foreign policy.

Instead, he… carried out policies favoured by Labour donors rather than members.

Rather than fight the far right, he copied its politics and employed its language… He hollowed out the Labour Party and destroyed its soul.

Disappointing, Keir, disappointing.

Oh, what joy! Another sleb who has millions to throw around on a vanity project while the rest of us are struggling to pay the bills! Ooh, will he change the wallpaper? Such fun!

The Greens won… because they promised… to actually attempt to fix things

Dangerous lunatics!

It’s torment nexuses all the way down…

There’s a human need to make some kind of impact on others. Some people do it by building up - posting positivity, or creating art, or whatever. Others do it by tearing down - posting insults, or vandalism, and so on.

The negative path is much, much easier.

Ah, the ol’ lemmy switcheroo!

Drop by a fire station, you might be able to pick one up!

I have an HP printer. The HP app on my laptop used to be able to scan documents and so on. Last time I opened it, the only way to use this was to scan my document into the HP Cloud and then download it from there. Fuck. That. Shit.

Fortunately my PDF reader can initiate the scan directly, so I’ll be just deleting that HP app.
