Why not? Are my posts not good enough for you Mr Bluesky?

This is fucking hilarious, best news I’ve heard in forever.

Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.

Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P

Probably the Tories

How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?

I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.

Good thing the “Feds” have zero jurisdiction in my country then. Feck em.

I say mould because I’m English and that’s just how it’s spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be…strange).

Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P

Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.

And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.

That guy is such a fecker, intentionally going around being a tosser wherever he goes and trying to give us all a basld name. God, I can’t stand that pillock :-(

Well, I have no First Amendment rights, so there’s that.

If nothing else it’ll make a decent bit of filler before something better like Firefly Season 2 comes out!

This is such a David thing to say, ho ho, you japester!

Oh yeah, forgot about those! I enjoyed the boys and invincible a lot, I never got around to watching wheel of time, I will eventually, but I’ve heard nothing particularly good (or that it’s middling at best) so I’ve shoved it to the back of my to watch list.

American Gods, Rings of Power, Good Omens, the Expanse, Man in the high castle, the Last of us, etc etc.

It’s not always as good of a selection as other services, but it’s got a fair few gems on there and a good amount of back catalogue films and tv shows that are fab :-)

And the fact that they collect so much stuff that would otherwise not be available at all (usually because its only on some random foreign streaming service and refuses to work with netflix) is where they really shine.

That said, I immediately stopped using it when they brought adverts in to the paid subscription. I’m not paying to watch adverts, sorry, no.

Check out Ludwig on iPlayer it’s a good watch! David Mitchell in some light, witty modern day Poirot detectiveing.

Hello fellow Western capitalist nation citizen, it is I, a relatable friend colleague of David! David will vouch for me, what a capital guy!

So, me and the boys (David’s idea, you know what he’s like) thought it might be pretty radical to scooby over to our local air force base and take some cool photos of us doing kick flips with their buildings and infrastructure in the background.

We think it would look totally tubular and really show those capitalist pig dogs (who we outwardly claim to love otherwise the secret police present in every Western nation will disappear us and our families, something we deny, but other nations with better intelligence services who don’t lie to the great people of their glorious nation educate their populace about) what we think of their money war machine.

Oh! And then we can up post the photographs immediately to TikTok for the klout points!

What do you say, are you in, Breve? David said you’d be in.

So you’re saying I should never buy anything from Nintendo?

Cool cool cool, cool, cool.

2019 isn’t some ancient far away time though, it’s just a few years ago. If Facebook were doing stuff like this then, think who else is still doing it.

That’s pretty dang cool, and 12 is my favourite number too :-)

What’s your favourite number?

Not enough of the mundane has been preserved throughout human history, it continues to be a big problem for historians. Especially when they only have major - likely very coloured or outright lies - official records of events and cultural touchstones to go on.

Why do you think we get so incredibly excited when we uncover something as mundane as the pricing artwork on an ancient Roman food stall? Because that stuff wasn’t preserved, nobody bothered to record such details, so much is lost because nobody thinks their place in history matters enough to bother saving it.

We’ve reached a point in our development where we now have the ability to preserve snapshots of our civilisation in great detail, with extreme ease. We owe it to ourselves and especially to future generations to do so.
