I saw a post recently that linked to a site showing open street map things by category e.g. restaurants. And now I can't find it again. Anybody know what it was? #openstreetmap

Why is there never any correlation between the time published on the bus stop, the time Google tells you the bus departs, and the time the bus eventually turns up? Exception: when you have a multi bus trip with a tight connection. You can be sure the next bus will leave precisely on time. #bus […]

Hello everyone. I'm a recent migrant from the Forkiverse, an instance that's shutting down pretty soon. It was my first foray into the fediverse and I decided to keep the adventure going and it's brought me here. Happy to be with you all.

With all the #AI about to #killallhumans in the news, I feel that people in general dont understand the dangers. It won't be a #terminator style AI robot shooting everyone. It will be the planent dependent on AI to do basic tasks like talk to each other, program computers, create art, farm […]

The thing about #AI that I find most confusing is that a majority of adverts for AI products show people talking, rather than typing. Now for a single man talking to his computer or phone at home, I can see a benefit. If I started talking to an AI agent at home, my wife and daughter would kick […]

About this time 25 years ago, I was telling a colleague and friend that there had been a terrible air accident in New York. I didn't know that her boyfriend and colleague of us both had flown off the day before for a meeting... ... in New York... ... In the North Tower. I didn't know. She […]

Someone pointed out I was using Fahrenheit the other day.

Americans: Adult deer are as tall as a bicycle. They weigh as much as 800 hamburgers.

RE: mastodon.me.uk/@ChrisMayLA6/1172508… The upgrade is not just required for renewables. Lots of the grid was built in the 70s, and needs urgent replacement before it fails.

Ergh. I am aching and tired. Today has been a day of fixing a leak that I found whilst looking for the source of another leak. Today's leak was very small, and had clearly been leaking for years; it wasn't much more than a heavily corroded pipe. But water pipes don't suddenly get corrosion and […]

The thing I hate most about online advertising, is not the adverts themselves, though some of them are truly dreadful. It is that when ever I buy something, the for next five weeks I see nothing but adverts for the product that I've just bought. Not only is it annoying, it can't be good value […]

Modern Dependency Problems (with apologies and thanks to XKCD) Probably needs more arrows, tbh

The classic XKCD dependency stack cartoon, but relabeled. The image shows a huge pile of boxes representing "all modern digital infrastructure" precariously balanced atop each other. A label at the right (ha!) says "A project led by a guy who then turns out to be a fascist" and arrows point from that to boxes all over the diagram.

I don't approve of AI in general, but then someone has used it to create this masterwork: I don't really approve of AI; but then there is this: youtu.be/6SUAdxU9CDE #aiGenerated #canada #tradewar #candianResistance

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Panel 1
Caption: With the windows open in the summer heat, a breeze blows through the punctuation factory, scattering newly-minted marks across the countryside.

Image: a small factory with windows open and punctuation marks coming out

Panel 2
Caption: Confused locals find their conversations peppered with unexpected pauses and unwanted emphasis.

Image: Two people talking as punctuation marks float around them One says

This, is “very odd”

The other replies

…(Indeed)*

Panel 3
Caption: Naturalists note that the effect is not limited to human communication.

Image: A duck on a pond surrounded by punctuation marks says
Qu’ack?

Panel 4
Caption: Fortunately, a cloud of exclamation points drift into a district council meeting which proceeds with unusual efficiency

Image: Councillors talk in a cloud of exclamation points
Something must be done!! !
Close the windows! !!
Install air conditioning! !!
Immediately!!! !

The US State Department has announced a controversial new grant scheme offering up to $3 million to European charities, think tanks, and individuals. The official goal? To fund groups addressing "national sovereignty, migration, censorship, and lawfare. Actual? MAGA anti-EU, pro-ru BS 🧵1/
