It’s Father’s Day in the UK today, and I know that somewhere, Dad’s looking down on me. He’s not dead, he has dementia with a tendency to wander off, and has always been condescending.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Building a Debugger is now officially released! It guides you through building a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes. Even if you don't care about building a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

My dad briefly had a horrible Austin Princess when I was little; it must’ve been quite a comedown from the Jensen Interceptor he had previously! He moved onto a Rover SD1 which was far nicer!

I’m confused; is owning a Tesla an anti-Trump flex now, and if Musk is a Nazi, is Trump Antifa now?

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Sad to hear about Trump and Musk. Not that they're fighting, I just don't like hearing about them.

Although we’ve seen some real advances in machine intelligence, we’ve also witnessed an increase in wilful ignorance, and a decline in critical thinking in the human population.

It takes time and effort to watch companies all year round in order to judge them by their actions, instead you can simply wait until June and see if they put a rainbow on their profile pic to determine if they’re LGBTQ+ allies.

♫ Mahna Mahna, Do doo be-do-do ♫ (Why do we get earworms?) theneuroscienceofeve... I figured I'd explore how and why earworms happen, what with having had one lodged in my brain for several days. And now, having read the title of the resulting piece, so do you. Sorry. #Earworms #Music

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Passkeys, biometrics and multifactor authentication are all very well, but when a bank only requires a signature on a form in order to transfer all your money elsewhere, I wonder why we bother.

Looking for a brave soul who would like to attempt the Nvidia Quadro FX 1300 to Geforce PCX 5900 conversion that some people tried to cover up on the web. It involved moving resistors on the PCB, then flashing the correct BIOS, then obviously installing the PCX 5900 driver. I can provide everything:

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

You should never* judge people based upon the colour of their skin. *Except for those orange-skinned spray-tan motherfuckers. In nature, colour is often used as a warning to others to keep their distance; heed that warning ⚠️
