  • Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges

  • Easier to say with hindsight, there is literally a gif of him flashing people on a red carpet event but no one batted an eyelid at the time.

  • I use gentoo on my main PC and debian on an old Thinkpad.

    Debian is solid as a rock provided you don't edit the sources to make it a "FrankenDebian" where it is pulling in more recent packages like Ubuntu.

  • Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges

    Jump

  • I had multiple friends who dressed like him and used his affectations during his peak popularity in the noughties. No SA's though fortunately.

    Looking back it was pretty much like a license to act more camp in public.

    How could we go about making a jurisdiction where advertising is illegal?

    Jump

  • I work at a big company that advertises often at big events. We have internal discussions about making the ads less obnoxious.

  • Personally I get sleep paralysis almost weekly. It's always disembodied voices as opposed to incubus' or succubus' (I wish!)

  • What’s the wildest dream you’ve ever had?

    Jump

  • Accidentally doxxed myself the other day on IRC by repeating my Dad's favourite dream anecdote. A psychicatrist (or philosopher depending on when he tells it) has a dream that he'd invented the funniest joke of all time, was famous and doing tours of SNL and others just telling the joke. He woke up in the night remembering it and it was just gibberish when he looked in the morning. I said I wasn't sure if my Dad had just made it up. Someone looked for sources online and the only source was my Dad's blog which had pictures of me at my wedding on it. Trying to keep this vague to avoid doxxing myself again. My life is basically Big Fish where my Dad loves to tell tall tales like this. Fortunately not too affected by this foible unless I mention it online. Looking forward to seeing the psychiatrist/philosopher at his funeral to be proved wrong like the end of that movie.

  • Is "Egyptian" music shown in movies etc. historically accurate in terms of instruments used? Like this one where the author claims to be "ancient" as well.

    Jump

  • Egyptian Lover had a few hits back in the day

  • do LLMs destroy open source?

    Jump

  • Aside from bug/issue spam where maintainers are stuck dealing with bogus problems raised by LLMs and posted by lazy humans, I don’t think there ought to be an issue. Maintainer burnout is no joke though; a bad day topped off with a bogus bug report might be the straw breaking a camel’s back.

    The other issue is licensed code with stricter copy left protections can be stolen for training data and unwittingly regurgitated into a code base elsewhere. Unfortunately this would require lawyers to actually bring these cases to court, which is not happening at the moment. Seems more manageable as an issue though since there is a path to resolving it. I think I need to make an EFF donation to help with that process.

  • What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner?

    Jump

  • Kind of similar with Ank.Spon. just been prescribed biologic drugs but waiting for an appointment to receive them.

    Was originally having dicofenac with is an NSAID like ibuprofen but stronger - wasn't working - so they bumped me up to etoricoxib but got side effects from that like an upset stomach so was advised to stop.

    They hold off on the biologics because they are super expensive and only the NHS can dole them out. Apparently they originally designed them for Parkinsons disease but turns out they are a miracle cure for Ank.Spon. Fingers crossed it works out! Would like to be able to get out the flat more often, even going to the office like 3 days a week.

  • What's the modern day equal of "Be Kind, Rewind"?

    Jump

  • But if I hop on that e-peen then maybe it won't decide to take my job /s

  • Who still uses IRC and why?

    Jump

  • I use IRC everyday. In particular the #

    -chat channel on IRC.

  • I'm gonna chemically castrate myself, should I tell my parents? (I am 26)

    Jump

  • Echo all the other people here saying that you should be discussing this with medical professionals.

    However - and forgive me for this if I've misinterpreted your post - if you think that chemical castration might remove a temptation that you might hurt someone then I'd recommend proceeding with it. Additionally, depending on exactly what the reason you can't have "normal" relationships, there are some situations that you cannot discuss it with your parents without putting immense amounts of strain on your relationship.

  • Starmer pulls Chagos bill after Trump backlash

    Jump

  • Carney has been leading the middle nations in the sense that he's taken a tough public stance against Trump for years. European leaders have finally started to adopt his rhetoric this week after Trump took the Greenland crisis to the brink.

    Given that I don't think he was referring to creating more treaties or supranational bodies, I think by matching Carney's rhetoric world leaders have answered his call.

  • Starmer pulls Chagos bill after Trump backlash

    Jump

  • I've pretty much had the opposite reaction to this news. Starmer's critics had painted the original decision as being the result of his legalistic tendencies triumphing over common sense. Personally, had totally imbibed that point of view because it fit with my preconceptions. (Possibly I was right and he's using the recent anti-Trump sentiment as a smoke screen to give a post-hoc impression of competence.)

    Hearing he had been acting pragmatically to curry favour with a notoriously transactional US president makes me view the original decision in a better light. If that's true, he's actually standing up to Trump by telling him to sort out the legality of the US base for himself. Pretty much every European leader had been taking the same tact of public flattery and private diplomacy before this week had Greenland spillover.

    Sometimes I wonder if Starmer would need to put out a press statement saying, "DJT, eat shit" before he got any acknowledgement of representing the UK assertively on the world stage.

  • Why is XYZ cooler than ABC?

    Jump

  • Abstract Base Classes just remind people of Java lasagna code. Whereas XYZ is inseparable from Hilary Putnam's water analogue in his famous Twin Earth thought experiment.

  • I want to leave fb. Where is a similar place?

    Jump

  • I've been off Facebook for over a decade now but have been unable to leave the META ecosystem due to the ubiquity of WhatsApp in the UK. There's not really a good alternative in terms of IM apps because the other popular ones seem to have made a USP out of appealing to criminals.

  • Whats the hardest days work you've had?

    Jump

  • Was doing pager duty support and there was a bug in a pipeline which was preventing a vital report from being generated. It had to exist by 8AM UTC and finally got it working at 5:30AM. My company would have lost its license to operate in a certain state if the report had not been generated.
