If you're interested then I've basically left this site now. I'm over on the blue one mostly, but also post Mastodon 🟦bsky.app/profile/binary… 🦣@binarymoon@mastodon.social

Kemi Badenoch is so arrogant she can't celebrate other people's successes Just as Boris Johnson was an inveterate liar and it brought him to disgrace, Badenoch's arrogance will ultimately be her downfall. Her right wing press will print otherwise but sit back and watch it unfold

@KnoopsChocolate That said. Your hot chocolates and milkshakes are still delicious.

@KnoopsChocolate hey. How come I just got signed up to a "test email" from Mobon EU? I didn't give you consent to sell my data and I used a unique email address just for you. I feel like this is a gdpr breach. Thanks.

The richest man in the world: is one of the biggest political donors in the world. and one of the biggest government contractors in the world. while owning one of the biggest social media platforms in the word. While warning about a cabal of elites ruining the world.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist

@tthomson @JackEllis What's the better way then. Cos I hate the emails Jack is referring to. I've had loads. I've never had a cold email that I thought was good or should be replied to. It doesn't matter what they say it's still unsolicited spam.

@JackEllis This again. 🙄 Lots of respect for you, but stop picking on people who are still trying to make it. Sales is hard. And few people get it right at the beginning. That does give me another idea though. Same project, but it auto-replies with advice on how to prospect better.

Startup idea: "Waste their time" Problem: I get a junk email, often with follow ups, which waste my time and I want revenge. Solution: I click "Waste their time", it puts their email into AI, writes a one thousand word context aware response and sends it back. I'll pay!

"Our course has over 200 videos" "Over 50 hours of training inside" These aren't benefits. This makes me NOT buy.

@TobiFrenzen @jdpoc We had an English manager and the rightwing press said he had to leave despite helping the team to two finals.

Can we please make sure the people running our newspapers and media organisations are British, are domiciled in Britain, and are paying UK tax?

@WordPress @jdevalk 😂

@jdevalk Really? Looks like hosts are consolidating behind .org: x.com/WordPress/stat…

People in the WordPress world realize that: hosts are slowly "cutting loose" from w .org. Either to mitigate risks or to allow updates when they're blocked. This has a big unintended consequence: Download & active install numbers are now no longer reliable.

.@Render96VGTP, a team specializing in preserving textures from retro video games, has unearthed the source of the stone wall texture from Super Mario 64. Someone call Rainbolt to discover the source of the source: 80.lv/articles/this-… #gamedev #texturing #nintendo

@doppeltim They look awesome! I've seen a few people making cards recently. Makes me want to have a go.

Okay so this is wild. I just got a call and voicemail from an attorney who is calling to complain about content in a video game that “his son and his friends are playing” (Conan Exiles) - Weird. 1/

@Joelarcanjo I'm a parent of an 8 year old boy who is an advanced reader. He reads 4 or 5 books a week and we are starting to struggle with finding age appropriate content, and it sounds like it's only going to get harder ☹️

Pals, are we ready to have the 'there is nothing out there for teen boy readers' discussion yet? Because the more I hear 'I can't find anything I like' from them during my school visits, the more I grow convinced publishing has forgotten about the post-Middle Grade boys.

Ever wondered where British TV news channels find all these young guests with near identical hard-right libertarian views? Well it turns out a lot of them are being pushed out by specialist 'talent agencies' backed by US billionaires bylinetimes.com/2024/10/08/the…

@CristianRaiber @zodiac1978 @flip_wp Absolutely. My DMS are open. 😁

@zodiac1978 @BinaryMoon @flip_wp @zodiac1978 - thx for the ping! @BinaryMoon - can I dm you?

Anyone looking to buy WP plugins to maintain and monetize? I have a bunch of free ones here that I don't do anything with. #content-plugins" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">profiles.wordpress.org/binarymoon/#co…
