my other favorite thing about Ishmael is how he begins like, “so you know how sometimes you’re walking around town and you’re like, ‘oh, wow, I want to punch literally everyone in the face,’ and that’s how you know it’s time to be on a boat? you know, that totally universal human experience?”

Please enjoy this brilliant metaphor that has been parked in my local health centre for a few years now.

For non-French speakers the sticker reads "Fight against COVID-19" #covid19 #coronavirus

Fuck me sideways. One of the improvements someone has made to my otherwise lean Disaster Recovery Policy is the helpful sentence "Disruption to the network infrastructure can lead to a loss of connectivity" .......................yes. Yes it can.

The AI stuff is making me go slightly more insane each day. Why is any of this happening? How did all this get off the ground so quickly? With seemingly no meaningful resistance from anyone. Nobody saying, "well, hold on here, let's at least test this out for a good while."

Interestingly on YouTube and a fair few other services I get ads if I'm VPN'd to France or the UK or something, but none/hardly any if connected without. I wonder if there's a market for people to VPN to Madagascar (and similar places where people don't want to sell ads) so you can have fewer ads...

Predictive text models do not ever "answer your question" They predict what an answer to your question would probably look like. Which is very, very, very different

This week I have to go see the Police Commissioner again, to tell him he made a couple of mistakes on my visa paperwork, so could he please extend my temporary visa whilst we fix it. Naturally I'll be claiming all the mistakes were mine (I must have forgotten I wasn't married with kids, so sorry)
