amazing!!!!
Hello I am in a gigantic warehouse full of people politely enjoying a piano middle eight
Ever want to listen to breakcore but somewhere with a Frankie Goes To Hollywood vibe? Boy do I have the party for you.
If you’re going to get started on the way there then fair enough but it’s not exactly subtle if all your mates crowd round you singing bits of Charli XCX
Transport chaos has contrived for just about everyone taking the train to a 3k person extremely full-on breakcore festival has wound up crammed into three carriages on the way to Skegness. It’s hilarious but I feel a bit sorry for bystanders.
Yeah, I have approx 0 confidence the data won't be stored somewhere, or at least the social graph even if it has the numbers filed off.
Few things as creepy as joining a new app, seeing a big list of people you know in the “suggestions” list, and realising that scumbag devs know who you are and who you hang out with, just because they conned someone into clicking a “connect with friends” contact-upload button
I am delighted to see Apple making it harder for apps to suck down your entire contacts list in one go, and the app makers complaining can do one. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/t...
Some app makers worry that a subtle change to the iPhone’s contact-sharing permissions could make it hard for them to get the fast growth they need to compete.
Still occasionally check eBay and library catalogues to see if anyone is has an old copy of "The Anglo-American Cyclopaedia"
Short story not novel, but: I read Borges' "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins" & assumed that Wilkins & his language were just fabrications. A little later at a Royal Society function I found myself staring at a bust of Wilkins himself. Dolly zoom, drop glass, never quite trusted reality since
