Is there another underlying data centre outage? Bsky is very intermittent as are some other sites but e.g. Netflix is fine.

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Wenn Rassisten wie PEGIDA auf die Straße gehen, sind es "besorgte Bürger" und ihre "Ängste und Sorgen" sind sehr interessant für die herrschende Politik. Wenn Zehntausende gegen Faschisten auf die Straße gehen, ist das "eine Auseinandersetzung zwischen ganz links und ganz rechts" (Merz).

Instead of doing a consumerism on "Black" Friday, consider supporting small businesses, dropping a few coins in someone's ko-fi or go fund me, sign up for their patreon instead.

To give you an idea of how "AI" has fucked up the holiday season, their insane demand for RAM chips that's barely even being used has caused a production drought for every other application.
Meaning right now you can buy a cheap PC, yank the RAM, and sell it on eBay for twice what the PC costs.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

In short we don't like "AI" because we can see a fucking used car salesman coming a mile away and yet you keep insisting there are five lights.
We're not all stupid and we're not all gullible, and we won't blindly accept an obvious scam.

Application for Universal Credit done. Still have to jump through a few hoops like proving my identity and getting medical records sorted but the person helping me is confident it will be successful.
Couldn't get out of bed this morning because of impending doom (applying for benefits tomorrow early afternoon) so I only just had breakfast and now I need to distract myself or I will get completely comatose...
