@interfile_SA e-Tshwane site is slow/unresponsive/down/erroring.

@CityTshwane It may be prudent to update the Tshwane website with the new location then, don’t you think?

@Shaun Good evening, our offices are located at Middestaad Building, corner Thabo Sehume and Francis Baard Street

@CityTshwane Attempted to visit the Customre Care centre at Tramshed today. Is it still open? Couldn’t find it, no signage. Nobody I asked seemed to know…

Unbelievably, Spotify have made their app experience worse. Now I have to avoid a big X next to all the songs playing. Do you even use @Spotify Spotify?

A fractal media defilement of AI slop on how to generate AI slop. This is the way useful content ends not with a bang but a whimper.

@mybroadband So @Dell are being Black Friday criminals. Laptop priced 3 days ago is R3000(!!) cheaper than today's Black Friday special on the same item. This is so wrong, and explains everything I hate about Black Friday.

Yet another safe long distance trip on Inkwazi, the aircraft that the govt claimed just a few years ago was too old, too unreliable, and too small to serve as a presidential VIP aircraft for South Africa. twitter.com/darren_olivier… The people making those claims still hold office.

What I see here are crocodile tears of manufactured outrage by politicians during Stage 5 load shedding before a looming general election, who blame everyone except themselves for the dire state of electricity, water, sewage, health, rail and road infrastructure in SA.

@MbalulaFikile Get out of ANC-broken Limpopo and go visit and look at the DA’s Western Cape. Clean streets, jobs, happiness, pride, safety, community - that’s how you truly give people dignity.

It is the ANC that has given our people free litres of water. It is the ANC that has given our people free electricity coupons. It is the ANC that guarantees the dignity of our people by building our people houses. More than 4 million houses, and we’re still going strong.

@HowardFeldman @OUTASA Never mind a water crisis, how are these people allowed to drive cars?!!?

So this happened tonight near our house. Apparently the driver is ok, but the road is not, and clearly needs to get its act together. As does the city of Johannesburg. Do we have a mayor?

@Eskom_SA @KhulekaniMag de Ruyter’s work no doubt, but let them feed on this credit too.

#EskomMediaStatement Six coal-fired power stations performing at 70% EAF for the first time since 8 May 2022

At least we’re not wasting time on those pesky water and electricity problems. news24.com/news24/politic…

@Sinbad2000 @MbalulaFikile Gweezy getting queasy when de Ruyter busts the speakeasy.

@Shaun @MbalulaFikile Populist actions because there's nothing else they are capable of - least of all actually solving a problem. Any problem. Unless that problem is how to let Gweezy keep on eating, of course.

@Sinbad2000 True, I should be nicer to the machine and give it a little more help... :D

@Shaun That AI makes a lot of assumptions :D

@alfred_cabonena This looks like nonsense - nowhere at Queenswood Spar looks like that.

@AndrewMohawk It feels like it used to be better at code, now it is bad and overly apologetic.

So much of "chatGPT creates polymorphic malware", so little of "this compiles and does what we expected". Seriously, afaik no one could even get it to do the moderate advent of code challenges. Almost all the code it generates requires a fair amount of knowledge just to fix!

@robstokes Oh, ok, I see your point now. Agree with you ultimately nuclear is the only truly viable way forward, just watch out for the greenies! 😬

@Shaun It would require privatisation of energy production for the incentives mining provides (like earning before you're even connected to the grid) to make any sense. I never said this could solve our problems today, but instead put us on the path to an energy abundant future. Nuclear
