Another victim of LLM-'enhanced' search results is serendipity. Many times I've found random, fun and unrelated websites from mistyping a query. Now the AI tries to guess what I meant and adjusts the search results, meaning s

Does anyone still use hashtags? I often searched and tweeted them back in the day on Twitter, they worked well for organic discoverability. But I don't see many uses of them now.

Reality is now beyond parody. I don't even know what to say about this aggressive legislation of emotion... because it might be construed in the near future as hatred by someone in Canada, and I could be extradited to enjoy a very long

Indeed. I've felt alienated since they launched the Electron redesign. The old client was both gorgeous and intuitive, as well as easy on system resources. See for yourself: https://twitter.com/awesomekling/status&

Thanks mate, I remember Argos had their own website up for a while where every catalogue could be viewed online. Bizarrely, they didn't provide any downloads. So I'm still on the hunt for PDFs of the 2003-2007 catalogues, the ones

I'd have been just across the water in rural Northern Ireland. Argos was very much part of the picture but most phones came from the local O2 shop.

That's interesting, I mostly remember old folks sticking to flip phones. The SEs were all that could be found among my peers. We would've been in our mid teens at the time. Then they were supplanted by early non-Android Samsung ph

The closest competitor to Nokias during 2007-2009 I recall was the Sony Ericssons, especially the walkman phones or the slider phones. At least if you were like me and always had to have something different. I still wish I’d kept my W910i.

I can remember one Christmas, perhaps 2010, where my Facebook feed was just folks posting their BBM pins. Ah, what a throwback. In retrospect, a better idea than giving out your phone number as WhatsApp requires. And indeed, people were mor

Oh. A pity. In my head it would’ve been something like a poor man’s SIEM, monitoring traffic and keeping track of who has been accessing what on my home network. Hence, a source of truth. The mysterious machinations of the modern datagram h

I'd like to quote a snarky sig I once read on Slashdot: > You know what's good about YAML? No, me neither. Personally, I love using a Perl hash for my config files. But maybe I'm just mad.
