rmuk,

Can you get me three cups of coffee? My first fifteen aren’t cutting it.

rmuk,

Meanwhile on the Internet:

“420” OMG BLORZ IT HAAhAAHA

“69” hhhUuRRR seckz bumbwr huuUUuUUuRrrr

“42” meeneninng of life! Hahahahan! I’ve got my towel! Hahaha!

“34” Ugh. Such a boomer. Imagine making a joke about a number. Ugh. UGH! I just… I just can’t.

rmuk,

We need to stop politicising politics, clearly.

rmuk,

I hack my supermarket by stealing mangoes.

Fedi Punter in Media Lingo Rant Slam: Reaction

rmuk,

Ten pictures of Feddit users reacting to clickbait headlines that will make you say “no, these are all trains. No, I’m complaining as such, I like trains, I just… I thought… No, the headline said something about… reactions, yeah, and ins- actually, hang on, how did you get in here?”

rmuk,

And your email, identity document, photo, payment method… lots of fun data points to boil it down to a demographic of one person.

rmuk,

I can’t remember the term for it, but this is one of those things where you think you have a bit of childhood nostalgia that’s unique to you, but it’s actually almost ubiquitous.

rmuk,

“The world’s largest waterfall is fed by the world’s second-biggest pump. The world’s biggest pump is used for the air conditioning that keeps the surrounding forest at a pleasant 20°C cooler than natural temperatures.”

rmuk,

Dude!

This is a really good idea! We should start immediately standardising like you suggest!

Actually, now I think about it… maybe it’s not the kind of thing we could convince people to get on board with in useful number…

Damn.

rmuk,

And if so, would you make a comparative review of it?

rmuk,

Pipe cleaner crew checking in.

rmuk,

Damn!

I’d like to direct you to someone who can help, who can explain what’s funny about it.

But maybe despite their expertise they won’t provide the context you need.

And you’ll still be at a loss.

Roland the Farter: [Does a jump]

Roland the Farter: [Whistles once]

Roland the Farter: [Farts]

King Henry II: [ Beckons to the camera]

King Henry II: It’s free real estate.

rmuk,

I was going to comment but I remembered I left the door slightly open.

rmuk,

Yes, when I realised I had a moment of sudden, uncomfortable shock. I had to pause the movie I was watching, which was about shark attacks.

📄 rule (sh.itjust.works)

alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn’t use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang). Like, we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America’s little idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration, the widespread availability of assault weapons and not being able to transfer money via...

rmuk,

Damn, you beat me to it.

rmuk,

FFS, someone always had to bring up politics.

rmuk,

What about soup?

rmuk,

David Firth, is that you?

*Whomstnt’ve

rmuk,

Meanwhile, the North of England bucked the trend by being clear. The aurora was visible in town, despite your directions light pollution, but I still drove out to the country for an hour at 2am to get a better view.

rmuk,

OMG is this loos?

rmuk, (edited )

If you admire Technology Connections, take a look at Cathode Ray Dude. Exudes a lot of the same energy.

rmuk,

Primative Technology. That guy is just… unfathomableable. Pots, fire, bricks, crops, shelter, kilns, repeat, no words, no justification. We can’t even be certain the guy in the video wrote the subtitles. Has he ever even acknowledged the camera? Is he a good guy? Evil? How would I tell? Does it even matter?

rmuk,

Leonardo balls lmao gottem

rmuk,

Such a shortsighted view. How do you expect us to get out much-needed class of Trillionaire God-Rulers if you make life so difficult for those hardworking Billionaires?

to be clear.../s

rmuk,

We actually do have a time machine, but only one. Jay, if you’re reading this, it’s my turn to use it last week.

rmuk,

You’re a loose cannon, Officer Meow Meow McFuzzyface.

rmuk,

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

rmuk,

Without wishing to give too much away, I know a group of people who work at a public transport agency in the UK. They recently had a meeting with Google about “opening up our data” which amounted to Google wanting the agency to sign a contract that would give Google exclusive rights to realtime and scheduling data in perpetuity, then Google would decide if/when/how it would be made public. The agency didn’t say “fuck off”, but something to that effect.

Now, instead, they’re working with a group of students to create a public API with a permissable licence and a framework for other agencies to do the same.

So… maybe do hold your breath? Transit is one of those areas that attracts nerds and nerds love open source.

rmuk,

Well, now is your chance.

Go hunt. Kill skuls.

rmuk,

Daddy Putin taught him well.

If you can find it, take a look at “Oh Dearism Part II” by Adam Curtis.

rmuk,

Both a definition and an example. Well done.

rmuk,

I thought it was XBox?

rmuk,

Attacking someone at random is wrong and illegal.

Attacking someone specifically because of their gender, sexuality, politics, religion, race, ethnicity, etc is worse and more illegal.

The new law adds ‘transgender’ to that list.

JK Rowling thinks that is a problem.

rmuk,

Unmanned autonomous dinghies monitored via a LoRa mesh are the way. The Cove is a good shout, though.

rmuk,

Internet things.

rmuk,

Yeah, but sometimes those people have candy and puppies.

rmuk,

There used to be a chain of burger restaurants in the UK named after that character. They had a burger called the Bender.

Edit: apparently still going, but they rebranded the Bender as the Bendy for… reasons.

rmuk,

Only if your computer’s manufacturer paid for it.

rmuk,

Lots of people shitting on Microsoft on this thread ignoring that it’s not Microsoft who charge for a codec and that Microsoft promote a royalty-free HEVC competitor called AV1.

Guaranteed this video file is from an Apple device, where patent-encumbered HEVC is the default recording format.

rmuk,

I remember when Google was the good guy.

rmuk,

In my secondary school we were expected to address all the teachers by name so I tended to use “Er…”.

rmuk,

Yeah, that’s it. State’s rights.

IMHO, there are only personal rights and government rights. State’s rights just means consolidation of power to a specific level of government and since those powers rarely come from a different level of government, where else could they come from*…?*

rmuk,

I’ve seen things. I’ve seen them with my eyes.

rmuk,

Yeah, there’s still plenty of places where AirBnB is competitive. When I’m in cities in France and Germany an apartment tends to cost about the same as a hotel room. Outside of cities hotels tend to cost a lot more.

rmuk,

I forgot about Final Space. Loved that show. Such things are clearly too good for this world.
