My wife's in hospital for shoulder surgery.
I've told her to ask the anesthetist if they've ever been tempted to get the patient to sing "Daisy Bell" rather than count down from ten?
Doesnβt everyone just love biscuits and #gravy?

Questions? @ me.
Reminder that if you like a website you should probably click on the "contact" link and tell the author you like their website
π° Oh I bet they get lots of email every day saying their website is cool, I'd just annoy them
π¦ Nope. I have a donations button and I'm not exaggerating when I say it gets hit a hundred times more often than my email address. People will literally transfer ten dollars from their bank account before saying "Hey cool website btw."
π Wouldn't it be weird though
π¦ My learned friend, why do you think there's a "Contact" page on the website in the first place, it's so that you can say "Hey cool website btw."
π΄ This site hasn't been updated in ages, I bet they're not even interested anymore
π¦ Or maybe they stopped updating it because they had ten thousand people reading it every day but it felt empty and unfulfilling like shouting into a hole because only two of them ever emailed to say "Hey cool website btw."
πΉ But what do I even say
π¦ You say "Hey cool website btw."
@dick_turpin Also have you seen "The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz"?

I think the problem is that Aaron was trying to free something form a system that was made to profit from the work of individuals that should have been free.
Where as AI is stealing freely available works so they can profit from the work of others.
Did you know The Onion has an RSS feed?
You do now.
@pugmiester That seems to have done the trick π
Just saw this scrolling through Facebook. I don't know anything about the matter, but my point remains valid: using other people's platforms does not and never will guarantee the safety of your data.
@_elena 's video is extremely relevant: https://tube.bsd.cafe/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN
@pugmiester don't know if it's a your server problem or a me problem but when I tried to add your RSS to FreshRSS i got the following error:-
A feed could not be found at `https://martin.hatstand.org.uk/rss.xml`; the status code is `200` and content-type is `application/octet-stream` [https://martin.hatstand.org.uk/rss.xml]
