She may be a Puncke: for many of them, are neither Maid, Widow, nor Wife.

Damn, you really old.

Oh no, I get you. I think we are a similar age.

I was at the Reading Festival in '96 and I think offspring were playing.

There was a slightly older guy stood in the middle of the crowd shouting, you call this punk... This ain't punk. This ain't shit.

The kids were laughing at him.

This week in Glasgow Green Day played a gig and all I saw was middle aged men and their daughters wearing matching merch t-shirts.

I'm assuming at some point I travel back in time to '96 to try to stop this.

That hair though.

C'mon man, it's time to get a coverage appropriate cut or just shave it altogether.

He looks like a boiled sweet that's been dropped on the carpet.

Hey maybe we can have a clusterfuck of our very own!

Just so you know, this isn't just an ADHD thing.

Most folk experience it and it's one of the main causes of burnout.

That said, it's always worth checking that you are getting enough vitamin d and that your thyroid is working right.

Massive spud of a human.

I mean, good luck trying to get this working in Northern Ireland too.

This is a classic Tory death rattle. Punish those lazy, entitled young people who, whilst not responsible for the 2008 crash (that was us and our banker mates) or the following years of austerity that ripped the heart out of public services whilst private services prospered (that was also us, but with our banker mates) or Brexit, an enterprise that spit the nation and has left us all worse off (again, us, but this time with our business and banker mates), it is those no good, molly-coddled young people with their funny hair colour and inability to buy houses, or food in some cases, that are the problem with the UK and we need to whip them into shape whilst we (who haven't been whipped into any sort of shape at all) continue to be in charge.

Can we swap out the word "hallucinations" for the word "bullshit"?

I think all AI/LLM stuf should be prefaced as "someone down the pub said..."

So, "someone down the pub said you can eat rocks" or, "someone down the pub said you should put glue on your pizza".

Hallucinations are cool, shit like this is worthless.

Well, once again a tech company gives a service I don't care for an overhaul I don't want and tries to charge a fee I won't pay.

I suspect when this doesn't do the numbers they want they'll try adding a user fee to oxygen as a retaliation.

This meme is a fine vintage, obviously shows some wear, but that's to be expected.

I have to ask how you came across this meme? Has it been in your family long?

Now, I know you wouldn't want to part with it but for the sake of insurance we'd value this at... 100 meme points.

Ah, it has sentimental value. Can't put a meme point price on that.

Absolutely loving the replies to this.

This is how the extended Linux community wins for me.

Sure we talk shit for fun. The Arch BTW stuff, the Gentoo shade and Slackware side-eye. But its all in jest, ultimately.

Well done.

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter ( www.theguardian.com )

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

So there are ways.

Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.

I cannot stand google news any more, too much spam, clickbait and advertisement. So I decided to try to selfhost an RSS aggregator to make myself a news feed that I would be comfortable with. Being RSS such an "ancient" thing I thought there will be many mature systems, but I'm not sure that's the case.....

Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)... But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.

Also, I've learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I'm cheap.

I see you getting downvoted for a correct answer.

IP addresses are like street addresses. I can live at 10 High Street in London, you can live at 10 High Street in Ohio. Those are not the same address right? Folk confusing public and private ip addresses.

What if the only reason countries, like the U.S., agree to arm other countries when they are in conflict, is because international billionaires have placed bets on which country will win?

I mean, if the super wealthy are sitting back, in their mansions, when each of these conflicts erupts, and they start placing bets on which side wins, it might play a role in which side our government leaders choose to arm/support.
