I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.

I just went on Youtube and watched the real song that was posted 15 years ago.

The comments are flooded with “RIP Rick Buckler” (drummer) from 15 days ago.

Now I’m ruined.

I first visited London only a few months after this came out. It was stuck in my head the moment I got on the platform at Heathrow.

TBH by the 6th lockdown in Melbourne, we were jealous of how you guys had effective border control. Scomo ruined the rest of the place. We could have grounded all passenger flights and had that as a single restriction and been fine.

• API = Direct interface to other people’s code.
• Library = A file containing other peolple’s code.
• Package = A contained archive file contining other people’s code.
• Framework = When the entire foundation of your program is other people’s code.

$250 is a dumb denomination that only US would do.

1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 ,100 is followed by 200, 500, 1000.

JFC every measurement of everything in that country gets decided by someone who flunked in maths.

Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.

Or he could, ya know, die.

It’s weird that I had a tower desktop as a kid when it was niche, and I still have a tower desktop 35 years later when it’s niche again.

It would produce something completely different every time.

You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.

Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.

Click on all the ads and install all the malware. That will teach them.

Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I’ve done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.

Just don’t expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.

Are you talking about Betamax, ATRAC3, MemoryStick, Video8, Digital8, UMD, MiniDisc or BluRay?

I think the US are just upset because UK didn’t want to share.

If all 5-eyes countries collectively bullied Apple into handing over the keys, they’d be all for it.

At least this one had the courtesy to go to the toilet first

I’ve configured my home wifi to capture all DNS regardless of its intended recipient. It’s unencrypted so it’s possible.

I also use encrypted DNS on my phone.

There’s probably a few things you can do live on a call.

I always wanted to try passing a common function through a minifier then a beautifier. Show them the code with unhelpful variable names, and ask them what name they would give the function.

A good programmer would be able to identify a string compare function or an IP bitmask eval function pretty quickly.
