Et mareritt som plutselig er realiteten. Det absolutte knefallet, den ultimate underkastelse. Det totale marerittet som teknologiselskaper, evangelister og regjeringer ønsker seg. #KI #AI

Once, at a wedding, I sat next to a guy who worked with IT for the oil industry, and as we chatted for a bit he mentioned that we had to frequently go to Dubai with work.
I asked him what Dubai was like and he said: “it’s like Las Vegas just without the soul.”

Celebrating #caturday in style!

Microsoft Windows is bad. Windows 11 is a new level of bad. Intensely frustrating having to use this utterly garbage OS every day at work. Infuriating even.

Laptop froze. After reboot, thunderbird had cleared all my unread email, so I went from 8600 unread emails to 5.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Started playing Hollow Knight: Silksong by @teamcherry.bsky.social at the weekend, or rather: the 9-year old, she’s absolutely killing it! But I’m utterly and completely in love with the art and graphics. Stunningly gorgeous!

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative | Euractiv The court will move its internal work environment to Open Desk, a German-developed open source software

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Presenting “Unravelling/Desenradando” today with Ximena Alarcón, as part of #CMMR2025 at the black box at @ucl.ac.uk Marshgate.

The Batsh*t Software Aphex Twin Used YouTube video by Benn Jordan

A fairly quirky and nerdy video by @bennjordan.bsky.social about the processes and software of early Aphex Twin.
