The only thing left for us is to pray.
Pray for the safety of our families,
for our countries, for our planet.
May God forgive us and protect us.

I’m Japanese and studying English. I’m learning about the differences between American English and British English. Is this accurate?🇺🇸🇬🇧😵💫

@TheTrekCentral Notice how it's 90% paid bluechecks celebrating this news.
You know they cancelled Kirk and the boys after 2 seasons in the '60's as well. It may take a couple decades but this show and these kids will be vindicated.
Cancelling a Trek show after only 20 episodes is outrageous.

@TinyWriterLaura I mean thanks for watching it so I don't have to, but I'm not even going to watch the clip

everyone in the UK says gen-zee even if they usually use zed at the end of the alphabet, the same way we also say Jay-Z and Dragon Ball Z
this is the stupidest attempt at faux-outrage i’ve seen all year
Tom Harwood@tomhfh
Why is SNL ‘UK’ calling Gen Z ‘Gen Zee’?

@LundukeJournal @Crunchyroll Stolen data is a feature of cloud computing
English
100GB of personal details stolen from @Crunchyroll.
Because, if we’ve learned anything from the last several years, it’s that if there is any sizable service storing personal data… it WILL be breached.
No server is secure. Not one.
And soon… age verifying data will also be included in all of these breaches.
International Cyber Digest@IntCyberDigest
🚨‼️ BREAKING: Crunchyroll breached through outsourcing partner in India. A threat actor exfiltrated data from Crunchyroll's ticketing system and also managed to pull 100 GB of personally identifiable customer analytics data. We've analyzed sample data and it includes IP addresses, email addresses, credit card details, and more. An employee of their outsourcing partner Telus had executed malware on his system, which gave a threat actor access to Crunchyroll's environment.

@LukasHozda I'm hoping that means there will be a boom in used mac minis for the few of us who do run local workloads
English
For running OpenClaw, there was never a need for a Mac Mini to run it well.
It doesn't run well on anything
ℏεsam@Hesamation
guys I think Anthropic is in the final stages of building a cheaper and safer OpenClaw. > integrated with your Claude subscription so you won’t need to pay for additional APIs > no need for Mac Minis > better memory and context > fewer security holes and vulnerabilities

“GB News’ viewers are so happy with it that the channel must be shut down.”
The News Agents@TheNewsAgents
A new investigation claims GB News is failing to meet Ofcom standards – but nothing is being done. GB News says it's fair and impartial, but journalist @arusbridger says only someone paid to work for the channel could claim that with 'a straight face' thenewsagents.co.uk/article/it-can…

@Chilis No chance for any .co.uk expansion? Wendy's in Scotland is killing it!

say it louder for the people who keep wasting money on fast food
also, it costs $10.99 to be exact ❤️❤️❤️

Crazy how a burger, fries, and a drink is cheaper at Chilis than almost any fast food place in America rn.

@blahmoah @stevesi I was thinking more so data transfer.
But yeah installing NT (any version) and office from floppy was a nightmare.
I used to use Linux and tar from a server so I didn't have to do it manually...
Should have gotten more involved as it was basically ghost before it existed in 94.
English
@virtuallyfun @stevesi That's definitely fun -- think how people need to make sure the product doesn't take too many floppies to install. I think back then I installed Windows 95 (Taiwan version) from like 20 or 30 1.44MB floppies. Fun experience!

The AI Slopacalypse will make efforts of hardening against buffer overruns and DDOS (etc) look easy. This isn't just a SN issue, but an issue for anywhere humans are confronted with words, voices, images…especially a workplace. If your tools create then you need this work.
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
The fortress we are building—and the layers of redundancy—to protect the platform against the AI Slopacalypse will seem obvious in a few months. Whether we use every tool in our toolkit is TBD, but it would be negligent to not have them ready.

This is how I found out Comic Relief was on last night 😂

The UK version of SNL is about as funny as having a root canal without anaesthetic.
Anyone watching it?

@CouchPotatoUK @AvonandsomerRob I don't have any TV.
I'm one of those people that cut the cord decades ago.
If it's interesting they'll make a DVD that nobody will buy, and it'll end up at CeX for £1

I miss the start menu being a start menu. Or that its javascript and just hitting the windows key a dozen times absolutely throttles a machine.
I get the new kids don't like C/C++ but wow... Can we get a C/C++ Windows, and a jr mint version with all the fluff? GDI is all we need

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

@davepl1968 Even reading about him in the 'inside nt' book, I kind of gave up trying to be a serious programmer, as I knew I'd at best be someone to use the wrong tabs, and break something in the build process, and get burned alive for it.
So I stick to amateur hour stuff...

I just had a morbid thought that would make for a morbid interview question that would never have occurred to me when we had less than 10k people:
At a company like Microsoft with a quarter of a million employees, how many people die on average each day?
According to AI, and based on actuarial data for the tech industry (which trends younger and healthier than, let's say, the Wisconsin Dairy industry), the answer is 1-2 per day:
Using Social Security’s 2022 period life table, the annual probability of death around age 40 is about 0.335% for males and 0.180% for females. At ages 38–42, the numbers are all in that same neighborhood.
So for a 250,000-person company:
If you use a blended annual mortality of around 0.20% to 0.30%, that implies about 500 to 750 deaths per year. It's probably worse because Microsoft likely skews heavily male in the ranks.
Divide by 365 and you get about 1.4 to 2.1 deaths per day.
I don't mean to make light of the topic, and confess that I would be personally devastated by my own passing. It's just a mental exercise...

@LundukeJournal I use MS-DOS 4.0 on a Xeon board, mostly because I compiled it myself.
English
“What on Earth do you use FreeDOS for in 2026?!?”
It’s a fair question!
I use DOS-based systems (mostly FreeDOS, but also MS-DOS in a few spots) primarily for:
- Long-form writing. I find the experience to be both “distraction free” and… well… comfortable.
- Personal journal (my “log”). I’ve been keeping text file journals since the late 1980s. Still have them. Using an organization system I came up with as a kid. At this point, it’s a comforting tradition.
- Gaming. While I do my fair share of modern gaming… most of my favorite games to return to, over and over again, are DOS games. Late ‘80s through the mid ‘90s tends to be my favorite gaming era. So either FreeDOS & MS-DOS on hardware (or in emulators) or DOSBox.
All of which results in me using some sort of DOS most days. At least for a few moments.

@LundukeJournal For what tho? Heh seriously. Back in the day sure but now? I did have two students come to a week-long forensics class running nothing more than freedos thinking I was gonna provide everything they needed
