Hi everyone. Look forward to talking to you all. Salut tout le monde! みなさん、こんにちは。私は日本語を学んでいます。私はあなたに話しを楽しみにしています。よろしく！

@MrHarrisKC @kmiba Possibly something downstream of Sky studios - the distribution chains for satellite, Freeview and online are very different. Might have been a fault in Arqiva's domain (who operate the COM5 Freeview multiplex). Colleague reported that it was fine on cable TV throughout.

@kmiba I mean, it's very pretty and everything, but surely somebody at Sky must have noticed it too? Why not get the newsreader to explain?

wtf is that weird black and white circle thing going on on the Sky News screen on TV? #SkyNews

@MrHarrisKC It's a test signal, specifically this one is a zone plate. Deliberately designed signal with high frequency content that produces those 'ripples' and circles depending on the receiver's ability to decode and display. Primarily designed for being used with a signal analyser.

Reform UK councillor @SophiePrestonHa stood in all these places, but lives in Mersea. Same old Reform UK, always hypocrites.

@RazorpayCare I don't need to share my phone number, I just need a way to get in touch and provide my email address so you can deal with this. The problem is still happening. Can I DM with further details?

Hi there, we understand how concerning this situation is and we’re here to help. To assist us in investigating this further, please share a screenshot where your email is being displayed along your contact number and email via DM. This will help us take necessary action at earliest. Regards, Team Razorpay x.com/messages/compo…

@Razorpay have tried using your contact form but the freshdesk API seems to be erroring. Trying to report fraud / card testing where my email address is being used to submit attempted payments. Have emailed contact@razorpay.com but don't know if anyone actually receives that.

@Panzerpicture Yo @TeamYouTube, what's the deal with this?

🚨 Day 54 of fighting for my archive This isn’t a glitch. YouTube’s AI has wiped out 13+ years of WWII tank archive footage and veteran stories. My entire channel is gone, and my account has been disabled 155,000 subscribers erased overnight. People are now calling me a PDF file, because in their minds the channel “wasn’t deleted” even though you can clearly see that it was. youtube.com/channel/UCjejQ… That's the internet for you! First, the channel was removed. Then, my entire account was disabled. YouTube support bots claiming it was a Google product trigger, doesn't make a lick of sense when the channel was deleted first! The content that got flagged? Historical WWII footage. No nudity. No inappropriate intent. Just real history yet it was labeled as “child abuse material.” And I’m not the only one this has happened to. youtube.com/shorts/8uT0C9_… This isn’t just about one channel. It raises serious concerns about how automated systems are handling and potentially erasing historical archives. We can’t let real history be misclassified or disappear like this. #RestorePanzerPicture #YouTubeCensorship #WWIIHistory #SaveHistory @TeamYouTube Support the effort to restore the archive: patreon.com/Panzerpicture

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

@pmddomingos In the UK and much of Europe, electricity prices are pegged to gas prices due to 'marginal pricing', which used to be vaguely appropriate but nowadays is a relic of the 80s. UK and other markets are moving to uncouple the pricing. We already have extensive renewable grid supply.

There’s no such thing as cheap green electricity.

Play this loudly on repeat in response to anyone suggesting you should vote Reform m.youtube.com/watch?v=SqObce…

@liftupthewaves @AnthropoceneMe1 always delighted to talk incantations of the old internet :>

@christopherw @AnthropoceneMe1 Thanks!

I'm too old to know what a "torrent" is, so I use the 'intitle:"index.of"' trick to find all my media. You break into all sorts of abandoned web pages, ftp sites, etc. It's like the "Morrowind" of file sharing.

Congratulations @hbomax, your incessant unskippable prerolls, stupid sponsor bumpers and pause screen promos have accomplished in a week what I didn't think possible: I've abandoned watching some amazing TV shows midway through because it's such an utterly infuriating experience.

@liftupthewaves @AnthropoceneMe1 Into a competent search engine query box. Google intentionally nerfed a lot of their operators around the same time they started sloppifying results, but some still work in a few engines :)

@AnthropoceneMe1 What is this wizardry? 'intitle:"index.of"' trick- where does this even go? In the browser?

@JoeCookJ @SamCoatesSky It doesn't even sound like it's the Shure mics, the clip sounds like it's using the mic on the camera.

The Shure podcast mic fever strikes again. Would have sounded way better if they had just miked them up normally...

@MB_JIGGY @hadriengayap @socialwithaayan You run a copy of the tg bot script on your own hardware, linked to your own install of reclip. It's not a public reclip telegram bot.

@hadriengayap @socialwithaayan Can’t find the telegram link

@MimicSham @Casey @modretro Always remember in Nintendo mag a kid wrote in to say his mum, trying to be helpful, found his game carts and washed them all with soapy water, because she'd seen him blowing on the pins before inserting them. None of the carts worked after their baptism.

@Casey @modretro Fake. Didn't even felate the cartridge

been waiting my entire adult life for this - @modretro

@ElectronixGuru @Casey @modretro @grok Did you REALLY have to ask an LLM to figure that out? Just search "modretro" and use a bit of that grey matter

@Casey @modretro @grok this is very important. How do I get this?

Reading is her only hobby and Amazon destroyed it - and many other people’s working Kindles - so they could make you buy a new one and pump it full of ads.

It appears @Microsoft is actively suspending developer accounts with no warning or reason of various security tools like VeraCrypt, WireGuard and also Windscribe. We've had this VERIFIED account for 8+ years to sign our drivers. We've been trying to resolve this for over a month, and getting nowhere. Support is non-existent. Anyone know a human with a brain that still works at Microsoft and can help?

Microsoft suspended the developer account for WireGuard (and also VeraCrypt). Why? Literally nobody knows. Presumably it's because Microsoft hates everyone and wants us all to suffer.
