Yeah, no thanks. I already set up my own filters to tag email nearly 20 years ago and they still work fine. I didn't use the "Google will decide" categorisation when it was introduced and adding a new category isn't going to make me want to.

If you want some real training, try the "Magic Roundabout" at Hemel Hempstead: a roundabout composed of 6 smaller ones.

For variety, there's another one in Swindon.

There's a whole river that's bigger than the Amazon which could be tapped into. Trouble is, it's under the Amazon.

I'd have been classified as a disruptor and dosed to a mindless glombie by the "experts" if they'd been around when I was in elementary school. Because the schoolwork was too easy for me, my reading age was double my physical age and I was fucking bored. What can a child do but act up in those circumstances?

If there's kids between 3 and 5 years of age that don't want to be running around, then those are the ones that should be getting some variety of therapy as there's obviously something wrong, not zombiefying those who prefer to tip a pot of poster paint over than daub it on a sheet of paper.

To paraphrase Buck Russell:
I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously or "regulates their emotions" like a fucking Vulcan. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until those who deliberately choose to ignore what being a child is drag them down and convince them and their parents that they have a behavioural disorder in order to pump them full of mood suppressing pharmaceuticals and earn a nice kickback.

... there has been a data breach at the company that provides the criminal records (if any) used as part of background and employment eligibility checks...

In which a group of humans had idyllic lives in a non-technological paradise lorded over by a supercomputer until trigger happy Kirk came along and blew it up.

And after 400 years, they get "grown" and discover they were beaten to the planet by a more technologically advanced people and craft that only took 30 years to get there and launched far later making them essentially second rate citizens that can serve as a slave population to build New Earth for their new overlords.

Because mankind is essentially a collection of groups who are assholes to each other.

We could call them Golgafrinchans

On how you look at it.
Or if you look at it.

Why not go scorched earth? If you can destroy/ encrypt databases, you can probably destroy the systems used to access them while you're at it.

Hex is just hex until you chmod it -x.

I've got the DeCSS T-shirt, but it can't execute the code printed on it. At least, I don't think so, I've never thought of waving it in the general direction of a DVD to find out...

Apple *did* turn ADP off for UK iPhone users. Should the Home Office back down, I'd like Apple to not only reinstate it but also have a settings screen appear the next time the phone is rebooted (say, after an update) that urges users to enable it as an extra "fuck you" to the Home Office.

How many of the 1m+ listens were actual humans and how many were bots specifically created to "listen" to the output of a bot?

1. Use AI to make a track
2. Use an army of bots to "listen" to this track, gaming the chart figures
3. Track trends and actual humans listen because they're sheep, boosting the figures further
4. Automated article generators publicise track across the music press sites inducing more sheep to listen
5. ??? (Spotify pays out)
6. Profit!
