    There&#39;s an article on the BBC about WhatsApp rolling out usernames and it includes the quote: &quot;WhatsApp does not use the content of private chats for advertising. Those are protected by end-to-end-encryption, meaning the firm cannot read the contents of messages.&quot; I see this language used a lot. So.. am I being dumb.. or is this a little white lie? Sure, end-to-end encryption means that Meta (or whoever) can&#39;t read messages in flight or at rest on their servers, but.. everyo...

    ** Free To Good Home ** Dell desktop computer. i7/8GB/discrete GPU. I&#39;ll rip the HD out but otherwise it&#39;s got everything you need. It&#39;s over 10 years old but it&#39;ll be good for a spare home server or maybe someone you know would benefit from a &quot;my first Linux&quot; project ;) Sony Hi-Fi. Haven&#39;t tested thoroughly but the CD player at least works and I&#39;ll admit I was surprised that it sounds pretty good. I&#39;m in Dorchester, UK (probably until next week). If you...

    Booked one of the small two person cabins to go up to Tampere with my kid today, but OMG those family cabins (with Richard Scarry on the wall!) are so cute 🥰

    Exhibition of graf from around the world at Helsinki airport. I was most amused by “10 foot” (a London writer) popping up on the Lisbon collage.

    All my cool friends have posted pictures of their hotel rooms that have HTTP status codes, but I’ve never been as lucky - I’ve never stayed in a room with a meaningful number. Until yesterday that is! And now.. er… ok, yeah, that’s just great 🙈

    I know I have a soft spot for mixers, especially ones that are meant to be played, and I know I’m pretty happy with my current main mixer.. but this new Teenage Engineering thing is very very close to the retail therapy insta-buy I could do with right now… https://teenage.engineering/products/ep-136

    A remake of Brazil, except instead of the printer misprinting the arrest warrant, it’s AI giving the wrong name. The ending is “good catch! That was the wrong name I gave you! Let me give you the right one”

    @mrsbeanbag ESLint is still (AFAIK) heavily used by JS/TS projects and it&#39;s mature and it&#39;s pretty damn good. I expect a lot of projects are probably even using it without really realising. Hmmm... I wonder where the LLMs got their rules from? 🤔

    There&amp;#39;s a *really* good documentary about the Finnish gaming industry on YLE (Finland&amp;#39;s equivalent of BBC) and you can watch it online at YLE Areena. Of course it talks *a lot* about the demoscene :) The doc is part of a larger series. It&amp;#39;s in Finnish, but they just added English subtitles to this one episode. Neat, huh? Not sure you can watch it outside of Finland without a VPN? https://areena.yle.fi/1-64877957
