Billions spent on #AI, but can Word keep a caption attached to an image or even keep pictures on the page where you want them?
No.
Should've stuck with LaTeX.

Great time today having to work out why a BIOS update pushed by our laptop's manufacturer breaks windows secure boot, effectively bricking the machine. 😖 #tech

The inevitable has happened and we've now been told to "make #ai happen" at work, without any clear direction about why, how, or what it's supposed to achieve.
Maybe I'll task it with selling paperclips.

We're getting loads of pamphlets now for the Scottish elections, and it's dispiriting how banal they all are.
Everyone wants to improve the NHS. Everyone wants to address the cost of living crisis. Everyone hates the other parties. There's no real ideological dividing lines, so if you're not "into politics", you can be forgiven for not knowing how to vote.
I wonder how much this is a consequence of a society unmoored from ideological anchors like church, union or party. #ukpol #scotpol

#Labour going for ye olde misleading graph tactics in the Scottish elections.
Yes. Fine. You'd be the largest party if nothing had changed since the 2024 general election. Shame for you that time is a thing though.

This is some hard needed optimism, but I worry that for the #UK some of it is misplaced. The 'drill baby drill' brigade is getting louder, which is due in part to the enormous 'spark gap', ie the difference in cost between gas and electricity.
With electricity still four times the price of gas due to quirks of the UK energy markets, even highly efficient heat pumps are barely competitive with boilers.

I remain baffled by the insistence of recipe books to underestimate how long it takes to cook something, usually by a factor of two. #cooking

My profile tells me it's just over a year since I joined Mastodon, so a bit late for an #introduction but I hear it is a good way to get started on here.
As per my bio, I'm an #ecosocialist from #scotland . I'm principally on here because I write #blogs where I #review things I read, watch or play.

This excellent blog by @pluralistic@mamot.fr chimes with my observation that, at least in the UK, public provision always feels like it's purposefully unpleasant and ugly, to hammer home that government is bad, and so are you for relying on it.
It also convinced me to move "The Big Con" by Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington to the top of my to read pile.
