Idk about you but I’d be happy with more gay pornography on fedi

This has made me want to add cheery vocal "OK !" announcements to all our production test processes. How quickly would it drive the assembly folks totally bonkers?

Bit of playing with the SRP1000. It works (kinda!)

"So these new digital radios, they'll be smaller, lighter and have better battery life than the analog ones we use now right?"

"right?"

Found this while Googling (sorry for Facebook link). Amazing bit of history. Dates this terminal to at least 2000 (possibly slightly earlier).

New one. Simoco SRP1000. Been missing one of these from the collection for a while and saw one come up on eBay. Basically an SRM1000 in an extremely large, heavy but allegedly “handportable” enclosure. Probably not much chance of programming this one but still a nice bit of history to own. Weighs about 700g, apparently 3W Tx. Might have a go at powering it up this evening and do a teardown too. #tetra #hamradio

“Ofcom’s enforcement action will bring it under control.”

🫤…. Prime Minister… Ofcom… 👀…

Ofcom has failed to act against even a single website. They are currently owed 15 million in fines. Nobody will pay.

waiting for the “Starmer is told all the kids are just using different social media sites or trading adult accounts with their mates at school” Downfall parody edit…

Wonder what the legal mechanism for the ban will be? Who can commit an offence to violate it? The under-16 accessing the site? The site for providing the service? The parent/guardian of the under-16? (Hahahah imagine… if only Starmer had the balls to do that) #ageverification #OnlineSafetyAct

Once again, the government has totally ignored a consultation and pushed ahead with a braindead plan based on a single stat squeezed out of it (“9 in 10 parents would support a ban” - unfortunately being a parent doesn’t make you clever or right, parents do not always know best).

This will be interesting…

Think if I resigned and took a year out "stay at home dad" would be okay to put on my CV? (the kids are labradors)

“what do you mean I can’t bring this on as carry on? Siri told me it would fit in the overhead” #wwdc

“chat gpt will my shoes fit in my bag” has to be one of the stupidest fucking things I have seen in a WWDC keynote so far in my life #wwdc

So glad it’s Friday.

I don't understand the 11ty thing. It has become "Build Awesome", which is something to do with Font Awesome, which is now running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for something called "Build Awesome Pro" which sounds like it wants to be basically a Squarespace clone.

On the cards for this weekend: re-doing foxdog.blog with... something? possibly zola.

11ty has... had something... happen to it... and now it looks like it's going to transform into something... I don't quite understand why.
