What sightings do you have of famous people doing mundane stuff? Prompted by walking past the Sainsbury's Local where I witnessed Peter Stringfellow buying a pint of milk (semi-skimmed).

In another Sainsbury's, I saw David Trimble considering a Secretary DVD. (That Sainsbury's has since been demolished.)

In the late 80s, Emo Phillips came into the Oxfam in Durham at which I worked, presumably to look for the sort of clothes Emo Phillips wears (he was dressed in a kids' Looney Tunes t-shirt and half-mast nylon flares). I persuaded a colleague to ask if he was Emo Phillips (she had no idea who he was but I was too shy) and he said, "I'm not him, he is me" in Emo Phillips ' voice.

Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

techcrunch.com/2025/08/29/mast…

> Decentralized social network Mastodon says it cannot comply with age verification laws, like in Mississippi and elsewhere, and says it's up to individual server owners to decide.

Prince Andrew ‘stayed in touch with Epstein five years longer than claimed’ thetimes.com/uk/royal-family/a…

In his Newsnight interview, the duke said he dropped contact with the paedophile in 2010. Emails suggest they were still talking in late 2015

in reply to Distributed Denial of Secrets

Actually he did drop contact in 2010, but resumed in 2011 after his UK based trafficker died from pneumonia and he was running low on teenagers to abuse.


Ook op ons mooie #Mastodon zal er #spam en #scam plaatsvinden. Vertrouw je het niet? Niet klikken op de links (en rapporteren).

Ook goed om te realiseren: link shorteners zijn zelden een goed idee en worden vaak gebruikt om informatie in te winnen over het aantal clicks, maar ook om de eindbestemming (de echte link) te verhullen.



Andare al lavoro, comunque, è imbarazzante perché fai sapere a tutti che hai bisogno di soldi.

A single AI data center could consume 5 million gallons of water daily

New Jersey wants to make them report water consumption

Opponents say the measure is redundant, could hurt industry

Oh, whatever you do, don't hurt industry. Destroy our environment but don't hurt poor little old super-sensitive industry.

We don't need or want this AI crap. ☠️ It's just another money grab by billionaires. They are trying to embed it everywhere so things won't function without it. Then the bill will come due big time. PLUS they are stealing the data and creations of people and think they can pay NOTHING! ☠️

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige, grüne Landschaft mit einem traditionellen, schiefgedeckten Haus im Hintergrund. Das Haus hat eine dunkle, möglicherweise schilfbetonte Dachdeckung und eine Fassade aus dunklem Material, vermutlich Ziegelstein. Es befindet sich in einem gepflegten Garten mit grünem Rasen und umgebenden Bäumen und Sträuchern. Im Vordergrund liegt ein Bein mit blauer Jeans und bunten Socken auf einem grauen, flachen Untergrund, vermutlich einem Liegestuhl oder einer Terrasse. Der Himmel ist blau mit weißen, flauschigen Wolken, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist.

Efficiency is greatest form of waste

"Jon Ippolito, professor of new media at the University of Maine, said tech companies are constantly working to make chips and data centers more efficient, but that does not mean AI’s environmental impact will shrink. That’s because of a problem called the Jevons Paradox. “The cheaper resources get, the more we tend to use them,” he said. When cars replaced horses, he said, commute times didn’t shrink. We just traveled farther."

You wouldn't believe how much I got slapped for invoking Jevons paradox on Mastodon.

@drmabuese I know. There is a deep tech cult of efficiency will save us, innovation will save us. Some techies fervently believe that there no problem that technology causes that can't be solved with more technology. If you've got technology all over your brain then everything becomes technology, I suppose.

True. It is a key failure that we can invent our way out of the problems we invented our way into. And that highly complex systems respond to super-simplistic technical solutions. We're going to solve CO2 with all this new tech. Not alone do we not solve CO2, we create a whole range of other problems.

We can keep on growing, keep on enjoying our conveniences, just change the energy source. The Growth Death Cult has all the easy answers.

This is crime against nature.

These bastards commit genocide against olive trees since the day they started occupying Palestine, but have gotten out of control since Netanyahu took power.

Israel is wiping Palestine off the map of the west bank, one olive tree at a time.

When two problems can lead to a solution:

Google essentially bricked my Pixel 4a by artificially borking the battery life. I had to get a new phone (not a Pixel 😂 )

Amazon has removed Tidal from the Fire Stick marketplace. I'm not about to start using Amazon Music or Spotify.

My Pixel is now sitting next to my TV, permanently wired. I connect it to my soundbar via Bluetooth and play music from my Tidal account on the phone.

Can newsrooms become social platforms themselves? Should they?

The future belongs to organizations that understand their communities, not just their analytics. In this post, I dig into a reader question that speaks to the future of social, newsrooms, and AI.

You can install the development version from the `develop` branch. Only for the most impatient and courageous!

```elisp
(use-package request)
(use-package org-social
:vc ( :url "https://github.com/tanrax/org-social.el"
:rev "develop"))
```

Added contextual buttons: reply and view profile "buttons", some improvements... and I'm working on threads and polls.

The only requirement is that you report any issues.

L'immagine mostra un cartello di legno giallo con scritte nere che recitano "PREVISIONI DEL TEMPO: POCO, USATELO BENE" e un disegno di un sole. Il cartello è posto su una spiaggia con sabbia, sotto un cielo parzialmente nuvoloso. Sullo sfondo, si vedono ombrelloni bianchi chiusi e una struttura di legno con una rampa di scivolo, suggerendo un'area di gioco per bambini. La scritta è un gioco di parole che incoraggia a godersi il tempo di sole limitato.
