I've written an absurd joke book where I've illustrated everything by hand in the exact limitations of a ZX81. Why I've done this, is largely because sometimes an art impulse seizes me and I can't stop myself. Please support this nonsense by throwing £20 my way to buy it. I promise you it's a lot of fun. 81 Jokes For The ZX81

81 Jokes for the ZX81

Rob Manuel (creator of Fesshole and co-founder of B3ta.com) set himself an absurd task. Write 81 jokes for the ZX81, illustrate them himself and use only the ZX81 character set. Features 81 jokes painstakingly drawn using 1981's Sinclair ZX81 graphics. Followed by the author's reminiscences and comic deviations on computing, creativity, and culture in the 1980s. If you loved the ZX81, this book is for you.

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers.

In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients.

The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

Brazilians prevailed against Meta psy-ops and chose not to become a US vassal state.

They showed the world it is possible to beat these criminals. Next Israel. Then the US itself.

The Vulnerability Apocalypse and Why We Should Fund Open Source

If you use the internet at all, you may have noticed that a large percentage of sites suddenly went down earlier this week—and all your nerdiest friends were talking about "The Vulnerability Apocalypse” and this thing called PHP that powers nearly 70% of the websites on the internet. You may find...

if you try to buy direct from a brand, you will visit their lavish online storefront, and immediately hit the issue that, like most websites, it was designed by magazine designers rather than software designers, and is totally unusable, with slow animations, transparency, hamburger menus and whitespace and interaction bugs and a total lack of actual information. amazon's many abusive practices, on the other hand, are enabled by a relatively plain and normal website which does, in fact, function

@ambergrey @geoffduncan @NigelTufnel @GuitarSith My MacOS is now two versions back, and I won't be updating it. I know there are plugins that still don't work with the next version, and I know the version after that takes a chunk of disc space for AI.

The machine is the very last i7 Mac Mini anyway, so we're heading for the end of the road. When I complete the transition to Linux using the Thinkpad I've set up, I'll put Linux on the Mac Mini as well: after all, it does have 64GB RAM.

I understand the point of this [formerly serious newspaper that has devolved into fluff] profile of #MarissaMayer (former CEO of Yahoo!) may be rage bait, so I am not including a link to it.

But ouf, reading these words (which have been widely circulating online) has been painful, especially as a mom.

You can't think of 3 qualities that make your child special, so you ask an AI Assistant? NO, NO, NO, NO. UNACCEPTABLE.

I imagine Marielle reading this and my heart breaks for her.

#NoAI

The screenshot of an article from a newspaper that reads: "Late last year, Marissa Mayer was struggling with what felt like an impossible task.
Her daughter Marielle was turning 10, and Marielle’s teacher wanted three bullet points summarizing what made her special. Mayer — the former chief executive of Yahoo and a pioneer at Google, where she was the first female engineer — likes cracking a hard problem. But she felt overwhelmed by the range and complexity of potential answers. So Mayer asked her personal A.I. assistant, Dazzle. Within a few seconds, Dazzle delivered an answer. 'It came back and was like, your daughter is empathetic, creative and an animal lover,' Mayer said. She thought it was perfect." — The screenshot of an article from a newspaper that reads: "Late last year, Marissa Mayer was struggling with what felt like an impossible task.

Technical question about podcasting / radio: how do you record an online call with three separate guests plus me as a conductor, while all of us listen to the same music in the background?

This is what we did this weekend, the end result was good but there was too much (really) hassle and quite some work in post-production. Before telling you how I did this, I would like to hear how you (would) do it, please.
