They know why it’s so bad. The last time they go so much shit, they completely rebranded the company to get away from the name Hermes. This is about stopping the message and sending a warning. Unfortunately for them, the Streisand Effect is real.
Tony Blair can fuck off.
So it’s the best bits of Kotlin in normal Java? Looks nice. Will give it a play.
I’ll say it again, because I think the idea is a practical solution to the issue: electricity and water usage should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive it becomes.
This would actually incentivise companies to reduce their usage, to question if they actually need that new AI data centre that will eat up all the gains in renewable electricity production and require fossil fuel plants to continue running, it’ll reduce the crypto miners as well, and encourage everyone to try to reduce their usage.
The knock on effect of this is that electricity actually becomes cheaper for everyone.
I was just thinking electricity should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive each Gw is. It’ll never happen, but if we wanted to tackle this issue, it’s what we should do.
Thanks very much for your advice. I’ve reworked my CV using Open Resume and updated it on all the job boards I’ve been using, hopefully that gets me further.
I’m also continuing to update my portfolio website and building out apps in different languages and frameworks to demonstrate my skills.
It just looks like the job market sucks at the mo and I just need to keep trudging through.
Thanks again.
Nah, he’ll be put in charge of women’s health and reproductive rights.
Just finished Red Shirts by Jon Scalzi, a Star Trek satire about the disposability of side characters in sci-fi. Not a bad book, by any regards, but had a very simplistic writing style that got tedious at times. The best part of the book was when the narrative finished 75% of the way through the novel, then it spent three chapters exploring three of the minor characters from the narrative and the repercussions the plot had on them. This made the book worth reading, but I still felt a little unsatisfied at the end.
I’m now reading Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I’m only two chapters in, but so far, this looks much more up my street. Earth has become a fascist technocracy that sends its political prisoners to far off planets to endure forced labour. The descriptions of acceptable losses in the first chapter made the tense descent of the main character to his new prison planet all the more so. Interested to see where this one goes.
It looks like Bender in that Tales of Interest episode where he becomes human, overindulges and dies.
While oat milk is relatively new, almond milk and soya milk are older than the legal protections the milk industry is trying to use. Almond milk has been almond milk for near enough a thousand years, soya milk is close to twice as old. Basically the word milk hasn’t referred exclusively to mammal milk for as long as the word milk has existed.
They do very little when the issue is massive wealth inequality and the hoarding of wealth by very few. This spends around £15 per person. It’s doing diddly squat.
I think a capsule, permanently drifting through space, frozen, with a plaque on the side saying “this is a warning to everyone” sends a much clearer message.
And Smart Tube Next for Android TV devices.

It’s because they’re alpha version. They haven’t gone through beta testing, been selected as a release candidate, sent to QA and finally released. They’re only alpha.

Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.
Mastadon has definitely improved it’s user onboarding process. When I first tried, and failed, to use it 3 years ago it was awful. Signing up a year ago was a painless process. It may not be fully ready for the mainstream just yet, but it’s definitely getting there.
Now we just need this reflected in the response to grannies being handcuffed for clapping at Palestine Action protests. The Labour government needs to be raked over the coals for this.
