Get your flu vaccine. My Dad died from the flu before Covid. You don’t want to deal with that. Get your flu shot, make sure your elders get the senior dose one.

I'm so tired and I just want to read my book... but someone has to deal with this mess, and apparently it's me. ☹️

While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim

You're right, I hadn't thought of it that way! Plus all the investigative science appealed to me. It's nice when I feel like I've learned something from a book.

Ooo, thanks, I grabbed a copy! ICYMI, Into the Drowning Deep (Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire) is on sale for $3. I don't usually read horror, but I enjoyed this one.

Four-panel comic of a fluffy black cat wearing grey armour and holding a sword and shield, against a pastel sky and green grass. The cat says: “It’s time for you to remember who the fluff you are.” Then: “A brave little warrior making a hard world softer.” Its eyes grow wide and sparkling as it adds: “I’d follow you into battle!” In the final panel, it says: “Or the kitchen.”

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Anyone got additional reading suggestions for a soon to be 10 year old who would write a birthday list like this? She’s not particularly fond of romance but really likes period fiction. She’s on I think book 13 of Redwall and I’d like to maybe get her more SF in her diet

A cosy illustration of a fluffy black cat stretched out asleep on a wooden wall shelf, beside three books and a trailing potted plant. The background is a softly textured blend of muted green and warm golden tones. White handwritten text above reads: “It’s nice to leave a little room in the day for nothing in particular.”

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!
