Leisure Suit Larry solved the age verification problem years ago, the UK should just use that.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a personal budgeting app? I’ve been using a manual spreadsheet for a while but would appreciate something more connected/automatic with my accounts so I can track actual spend more easily.

Something like what Mint used to be before Intuit killed it. I tried YNAB a several years ago and hated it, so unless it’s changed dramatically, that’s probably not the one for me.

I need the world to know how fucking annoying it is to run the command vim --version and have to scroll up 200 lines to get the fucking version and patch number.

In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids, which means rich families had to make sure the schools the kid went to were good, which meant the rich were prompted to invest in public schools. Finland, take a bow.

are you using the new command? it's in unetconfd. it's literally on sysptkm. it's configurable via xchwnt. it's literally under /usr/share/pnetdx2. you can probably grep for the qvjconf. you can update it via bungpkg. update via bungpkg. fetch it with bungpkg. you can bungpkg it. bungpkg has it for you. bungpkg has it for you.

Women-founded companies generate 78¢ of revenue for every $1 raised vs 31¢ for male-founded startups. They burn 15% less capital--in 2024 $270K/month vs US startups $320K/month. Yet female founded startups received only 2.1% of venture capital in 2024. https://www.inc.com/annabel-burba/female-founders-outperform-their-male-counterparts-but-receive-much-less-funding-study-finds/91212886

I have been feeding fake data about myself into every system I encounter since I was a teenager.

A data broker's portrait of me as a sixty-something businesswoman who drinks bud light proves that my history is a useless, contradictory mess as a result.

It's shitposting elevated to performance art.

Twice in the past week, I’ve received an edit notification about a post I’d previously boosted where the edit corrected bad or incomplete information. In both cases, I boosted the correction.

I’ve long wished for social media misinformation policy to be “If you saw the bad info, you see the correction.” Mastodon comes closer to that than anything I’ve previously encountered.

There’s been a lot of theoretical hand-wringing about allowing edits on social media. In practice, this aspect at least seems like a huge success.

The Bad Salad of William Archibald Spooner   Why do I always watch my birds? I know that statement sounds absurd but today I reached an all-lime toe when I received a blushing crow.   It’s wetting gorse – and here’s the crunch: my conversation packs a lunch. I’m not sure when all this began but I think I need a plaster man   to help me when my stouth gets muck. I should sit, perhaps, and bead a rook, fight a liar, or flick some powers. No, I think I’ll go and shake a tower. Brian Bilston

More to the point, I find DNA ancestry to be too fickle and inaccurate. Also, why the hell would you send your genetic data to a private company who is likely re-selling it to companies and governments without your knowledge?!‽ (I would like to think the recent "threat" of the sell-off of 23 and Me's data would have been a wake up call!)

Also, maybe those looking for the purity of the Aryan race should remember that the Aryans were Persian/Iranian and Indian, not Germanic/Teutonic.

They’re putting blue food coloring in everything

"Why is my burger blue?" I asked, innocently.

"Oh! We're making all of our food blue, all the best restaurants are doing it now." the waiter explained.

But I didn't want my burger to be blue.

ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.

Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.

It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

You have been warned yet again, the US cannot be trusted...

Microsoft, under oath, admits the possibility that EU‑hosted data can be accessed by US agencies without any notifications

In sworn French‑Senate testimony, Microsoft’s legal chief for France(M. Anton Carniaux) conceded he cannot guarantee that data on French citizens stored wholly in EU Microsoft datacenters is safe from U.S. silent access and acknowledged that French or any EU authorities might not even be notified if access occurs.

Delivered under oath, this statement is an official legal recognition of the silent‑access risk inherent in relying on Microsoft’s infrastructure.
