A cheapo SSD I have for faffing about with just apparently died. Not detected at all by Linux.
Not seen by the bios.Sigh.
Preparing to whack it with a big hammer and bin it, just gave a quick google for "dead ssd".
Random reddit post: "leave it powered up for 10 minutes, then unplug, plug in & try again".
Yeah right, but suppose it can't do any harm to try.HOLY FUCK IT ACTUALLY WORKED

I wish people would realise that change dot org is just a data harvester and creating petitions there is pissing in the wind while someone steals your wallet.

To have literally everything make no sense or be incorrect is quite the achievement -

I remembered today that I once read that Fox News plays in US military bases 24/7 in places like canteens & recreational areas.It sounds plausible but no idea if true.

There was a lot of "our fine ethical US military will save us from Trump's worst excesses" on US bluesky not very long ago, and that's a milkshake duckening if ever there was.

Passed a guy today, sat on a bench, earbuds in, toast phone, bellowing down it "yeah it's not just the Islamists innit, there's all the Jamaicans too".
Unfortunately I didn't have my cheesewire handy.

[this thought triggered by turning on the radio, hearing the Labour prime minister's voice, and immediately turning it off again with a volley of expletives I'd reserved for the last 5 Tory PMs]

I'm not a great one for counterfactuals, but I do occasionally wonder what kind of country I'd be living in if John Brown hadn't died, or even if Gordon Brown hadn't apologised for his intolerance of bigotry.

Hmm the rest of that article seems to turn into something rather more uncritical of Starmer. Redemption my arse.
