@danmcquillan All these things are where the design of labour have been leading for ages - reducible, repeatable, automatable tasks. AI doesn't need to be "good", just cheaper to do these things.

(Not an arg for AI, just musing that jobs as a paradigm suffer the same issue...)

@Floppy Thanks - archiveteam looks like a great place, possibly overkill for me but will give them a follow. I'll try to have a play with ArchiveBox - for personal stuff it may just end up being a public Joplin instance... But yeah, lots of different possible aims to unpick here.

Starting to think federated archiving services might be a good idea. Any good options for #selfhosted #archive software?

Gah. Anyone manage to archive the archives?

I know it's a never-ending war, but is there anywhere to report scam BBC news sites like this?

Powerwash Simulator is a tenner on the Nintendo Store right now and I swear it might be the Second Life virtual meeting room hangout we were all waiting for.

@KimPerales Weird, saw an image on masto a while back with the same text and similar image, but different layout, different paper. Wonder what that's about.

Pension generations. This chart is haunting me.

@stonerl Thanks, will give the original hardware a test too! 😃

@barnoid Creativity and DIY enjoyment doesn't profit anybody, you know.

Had this weird dream where everyone got a text alert at the same time and this American lady's voice tried to read out Welsh to me.

Oh wait.

1. Swerve the public trust.
2. Arrest the innocent.
3. Uphold the war.

Going to be honest here. The tech in me wants to play with AI to understand it more, but the punk in me is really struggling to touch it every time I see stuff like this.

Even if you run your own model, own your own data, the prevailing *paradigm* is clearly being run by those with a vested interest in non-democratic hyper-states. Data *will* be a global network map. Technology *will* act as a form of control.

"the White House Rose Garden is now officially ...The Rose Garden Club. It emerged on Friday that the White House’s South Lawn is to be the setting for an Ultimate Fighting Championship cage fight on July 4 next year"

Natch.

Holding the UK emergency alert test on the same day as a total lunar eclipse is just coincidence, right? ... Right?

@orbific We do just love to moan. Wait for Farage to start the new complain.social service.

1925 was literally only a hundred years ago. 🤯

I suppose that would be an incredible advert for the Tories, if they could get Richard Desmond to appear.

"Bribes for the cooperation of cabinet officials were far cheaper and easier under the previous government.
That's why I'm voting Conservative."

Of course, the media only wants to talk about 'Honest Bob' about his latest attempt to paint himself as a hardcore flag shagger, where he looks like a Poundland version of Farage.
Although I'm probably being extremely unkind to Poundland.
