If only we could get one of these on the Moon or Mars, we'd really be able to get the ball rolling. #Colonalisation

Am I the only one resisting enabling #Ubuntu Pro every time a software update informs me that updates are ready to be installed but that I need to enable Pro to get them?

There is nothing like a little bit of pressure selling, is there? 💳

If only @currys did these, they'd be on my Your Plan quicker than you could blink.

I see X wants me to start arguing again? It pisses me off that I'm goaded, and people are shocked and offended when I respond.

My response to this would be:

"But EVERYONE is middle class; in fact, I would argue there's only a small proportion of so-called rich and a huge amount of working families, and if there is still a working class, then Labour has failed! One hundred years and Socialism still hasn't dragged its sorry arse out of the road to Wigan Pier."

I saw a Nun today with one of those electric car tyre pumps putting air into her car's flat tyre. Clearly, God does not look after his own.

It never ceases to amaze me how much help people for when they are cancelling a service with you. They don't even have the common decency to offer you a small fee for your assistance either; they just expect you to help them leave with no impact on them and have no regard to what you are losing.

Wondering if Zelenskyy is going to return the favour and visit Boris now that he's in trouble?

The point I was making was that it's extremely hard to detect. I suspect the only way to raise suspicions is if someone suddenly starts to be very productive.

Obviously, it is not something I would do.

Dear @BBCNEWS
Plenty of tomatoes in Sainsbury's, you bunch of Remain campaign, Labour voting #Scaremongers

So I've had a play with Fedora SilverBlue in a VM, and I like the concept. I downloaded the iso and burnt it to the Fedora USB I got from #fosdem; however, my X270 refuses to boot the USB; a spare DELL Laptop I have lying around did show me GRUB and looked like it was booting the "Try" option, but the screen just stayed black. This is 2023, not 2003, people! Get a grip for the love of The Pond Gods.

cast.garden is becoming insanely popular on #Hive. Get your creativity in front of people's faces and in their ears. Can't afford to host your own show? Speak to @Agorise_world; he may have some free space, or @Hacker Public Radio and stream through #RSS to start earning!

Here's a thought. All these tanks that are being sent to Ukraine, are they really of much use or will they actually turn out to be a nightmare? They're all different, have different systems and, for all I know, different ammunition.

Any predictions of when ChatGPT will become self-aware?

Just bought this from Amazon for £35 to play some cassettes I have from forty-five to fifty years ago! 🤣

Thank The Pond Gods for that. You can't get the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for the minute, so that means it's pointless buying any of the Argon Pod modules.

A few years ago, on Google search results, you'd get two, maybe three "Paid For" results.

These days there's half a page of "Paid For" results.
Next time someone says: "Can I do your SEO? We'll get you first rankings!" ask them: "Are you paying Google for Ad placement then?" you can't get 1st place for free anymore.

Isn't EVERYONE rated as "Excellent" on Trustpilot? #LeSigh

Just been in the spare room and literally ripped the Epson Expression Home XP-2200 Printer off the shelf and took it downstairs, and threw it by the bins. It's only printed once and now won't print the missuses return (pdf) label so guess whose fault that is? Piece of shit.
