Take me to Greenwich
A fun Halloween themed photo featuring the iconic Green Witch, Elphaba Thropp, from Wicked, on a poster at Bank Underground station in London. It took a few attempts to get the timing right but was very pleased with the results
I found the wiring for the fediverse

That moment when you muse that when Agilent did the V2 software for the 16700A they should have called it ATLAS (Agilent Technologies Logic Analysis System).
Then you remember the software dates back to the HP 16505A Prototype Analyzer and is called "VP" or "Sprocket", at least on disk.
It's easy to see why it's called that when you start using the Measurement Workspace.
We’re going for a strict 9am kick-off. Be sure to be seated on time.
👻 See you tomorrow morning, for a spooky tale! 👻

following up on my previous post
@octothorpe Absolutely correct.
I was never asked for my consent when they repeatedly stole +20 years of work.
I'm constantly barraged with demands that I use their products they made with work stolen from me and so many others, as if they expect validation for disrespecting and abusing my rights.
Fuck them all.
“If it’s inevitable, might as well enjoy it”
“You secretly want it too”
@octothorpe "You don't know what you're missing!" the AI bro screams at me, drunk and sobbing, as I walk away whistling.
AI people absolutely have sexual predator vibes.
Dude. No means no.
Not ‘I’ll ask again later.
Not ‘Remind me again in the future’
Not ‘But this time it’s different’
No.
Just fucking go away.
“What do you think?”
“Meh, not bad; needs some work in places.” Oh my god I want this ship so much.
“You gonna make an offer?”
“Hmmmn, it’s more than i wanted to pay—I’d have to call the bank.” Shut up and take my money.
“I’ll throw in the computer…”
“I dunno is he nice?”. I wasn’t going to let her get away.
“It’s a well regarded model, I’m told.”
“Well, Let’s ask”. She, you racist cunt.
“Ask who?”
“Hello Ship, My name’s Priyanka. Would you like to fly with me?”. Pls pls sayyespls
«That would be most agreeable captain» Omg switch cooling fans to max
“If the test flight works out she might do” LETS GOOOOOOOO!

Look, I’m not an unreasonable man. All I ask is that everyone who works in sending political fundraising texts be lined up against a wall and blasted into a fine mist by an anti-aircraft cannon
Every OSS project maintainer I hear from is like "we can't ban AI because it's an unenforceable policy. There's literally no way of knowing whether something is written by AI" and every OSS project contributor I hear from is like "yeah, contributing is really miserable because I'm so busy reviewing this PRs and every single one is so obviously AI"
It’s 1986 and my mother is shouting at me to stop touching the computer, I’m wasting my life.
It’s 2016 and I am fixing mother’s computer, regaling her about the variety of rich opportunities computer touching has given me in my life.
It’s 2026 and I am cursing my mother for ever letting me touch a computer. I have wasted my life.
I'm just saying we need a moratorium on the use of the number 4 in security-sensitive code for at least the next 5 years
