@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyWhen he was on the cross, Jesus remembered one last he had forgotten to do, so yelled at his followers…
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyLots of thoughts about this exhibition (and the very scathing review) which I’ll leave till I have seen it. But I thing Jones is wrong in one of the questions he’s asking. “What is it saying?” is a much less interesting question about art than “what is is doing - to you, to culture, to the […]
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyI believe the phrase is "good riddance to bad rubbish."
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gySo basically five muppets with a couple of vans is enough to see the US withdraw bombers from Europe? If the USSR had known that, the Cold War might have turned out quite differently.
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyOne thing that both Trump and Musk have in common: they both claim they're doing plenty of things they never actually do.
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy@Tjader @Guillotine_Jones Snowy belongs to Karl Marx? :)
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyThis is just an absolutely incredible piece of writing.

@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gySad, but probably inevitable: building a cross platform browser is *hard* and Kagi isn’t a big company with super-deep pockets. If they had called it an “AI browser” VCs would have given them 1 million quatloos, I bet.

@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyIt’s the natural end state of capitalism, folks!
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gyIs there an easy way to check on a Mac which apps have been updated so they can used with NuSiri?
@ianbetteridge.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gySo let me get this right... SpaceX's "successful" orbital launch of Starship lost an engine in flight, was cut from a planned six orbits to two (and SpaceX isn't saying why), neither part is reusable, and the top part blew up on splashdown.
