@bigzaphod paint messages on your nails?
I have a lot more to say, but I'll hold it for now and simply wonder aloud...
Which BigTech clouds are the "Lavender" & "Where's Daddy?" AI systems running on? What APIs are they using? Which libraries are they calling?
What work did my former colleagues, did I, did *you* contribute to that may now be enabling this automated slaughter?
(Also, content warning. This is some of the sickest shit I've ever read.)
@Moltz @dmoren @lunarobverse @lexfri this should be your next pair of t-shirts. Each one has half-a-Moltz and together you complete them.
@stuart last year it was the other way round, but there was a grand slam as well.
@schwa in optimal conditions they’d have raised the sails, for sure.
@stuart and I just sold a bunch of stock today…
@vinnycoyne also just great fucking accessibility!
@twostraws @GaryAsh my local pharmacy (Boots, UK) won’t sell a pack of ibuprofen and a pack of paracetamol together!
@ianRobinson I do love High N Dry. I tend to think of early Def Leppard and post-H’N’D Def Leppard to be different bands.
@TSindelar I tried this. I already live in Ireland so it didn’t work. I give this technique ★☆☆☆☆

@amyworrall my wife recently encountered people having trouble getting into a neighbours house that is run as an AirBnB-style property. The visitors couldn’t find a key, so my wife contacted the owners, and their response was “we have a management company for that. If the guests can’t get in then we don’t care, we’ll just take the hit of a bad review.”
To owners, it’s a bad review. To guests it’s a potentially ruined vacation. Terrible imbalance!
@ianRobinson nah. I spend so much time in computers these days that I’ve started to reject plugins and DAWs. 🙂
@ianRobinson I’ve got a Hammond with a Leslie speaker. Needs a lot of maintenance work to get it sounding good again. It was extremely crackly when I got it, but hasn’t had any love in 14 years.
@nivrig @SallyMonster @selzero I’ll send it by courier… would Yodel be okay?
@selzero New Order - True Faith
@acf sorry, but 15k is my limit for a glowing turntable. 🙂
@RebeccaSlatkin those are my meds! (We don’t get pharmaceutical ads in the UK so it’s weird to think that there are ads for my meds)
I'm Maurice Kelly, a software engineer who sold his soul to management. To redeem myself I try to make music, but in reality what I'm doing is making a big pile of synthesisers all in one place and changing how they are connected on a regular basis.
