I am currently savouring every single page of @cstrossCharlie Stross newest and last Laundry novel "The Regicide Report".
I can't describe the joy I get from little gems like this hat tip to Douglas Adams:

We pass … a room labelled PLANS AND RECORDS (to which some wag has added a sign saying BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD) …

Thank you, Charlie !!!! 🥰 ❤️

Mr Prosser: But, Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months. Arthur: Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything. Mr Prosser: But the plans were on display… Arthur: On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them. Mr Prosser: That’s the display department. Arthur: With a torch. Mr Prosser: The lights had probably gone out. Arthur: So had the stairs. Mr Prosser: But look, you found the notice, didn’t you? Arthur: Yes yes I did. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard.

This week's career limiting accessibility regression from @github is to not show comments in pull request diff any more. There's a separate comment panel which you can look at (but not at the same time as the diff) where there are indications of content replies but these cannot be interacted with using standard accessibility tools.

I review very long pull requests for work and as a volunteer maintainer and I am not sure why we're okay with this constant march of degraded experience.

I’ve seen a lot of articles and posts about AI that use the term “like it or not” as in “like it or not, AI is here, and we might as well get used to it” and that is such bullshit.

Like it or not, ableism is here… like it or not, racism is here… like it or not, fascism is here.

No, fuck that, I will resist. I will speak out. I will fight back.

You do not have to roll over and accept the shit corporations and the existing power structure try to force upon you.

We can build a better world.

I'm happy that you can finally outsource all the boring coding to a chatbot: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.09598

I will hopefully be dead before the water wars of 2052, but our children won't. They will hate us for this.

Here is a nice accompanying dashboard: app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjo

If I read the data correctly, 100 billion queries consume as much water as 100 million people do annually.

6 months ago, ChatGPT alone handled 2.5 billion queries/day. You can probably extrapolate from that...
