I wail a lot about computers and the Newcastle Knights. I also now wail about the SF Giants. Sometimes I post about chicken and gaming. You may use software that I’ve written, sorry. Currently helping humans explore space. 🇦🇺 Sydney 🕸️ https://oysta.au/

It has been exactly eleven years today since my computer tried to kill me.
Eleven
It turns out that eleven is a very auspicious number.

our current crop of techbros, like despots throughout history, are convinced that they've finally solved the Brutal Peasant Revolt Problem

i think they are absolutely wrong about this, to be clear

always funny that “hordes of unemployed show up at his gate with a battering ram and guillotine” is never a scenario they consider

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Destiny is one of my all time favourite game franchises, but I do think there is such a thing as too much and I hit that a little while ago. (It’s also very hard to keep up with for most adults)
The last time Destiny 2's player numbers looked this bad, Bungie was one month away from "shutting up shop" - so is this, finally, the end?
Things aren't looking so good for the 'forever game' whose story kicked off over a decade ago

please post rare turing_polices
Turing Police @turing_police when I was like 12 I went to the California science center which had a "drunk driving simulator" educational arcade type game and if you were too good at it the game would automatically crash the car after a while so you didnt undermine their message

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

(I isolated Trump’s voice)
